7th Day Adventists say that worship should be on Saturday, not on Sunday, hence the name 7th
Day Advent. Their leading prophet Ellen G. White said that to worship on Sunday is to worship the beast.
7th Day Adventism began in the 1800s out of the failed Millerite movement after William Miller made a bunch of false prophecies about the return of Christ.
James and Ellen G. White became the most prominent leaders, claiming to receive special revelation from God. But like Miller, Ellen G.
White also made false predictions about Christ's return. Adventists deny the existence of the soul, which also warps their doctrines about humanity,
Christ, salvation, and hell, claiming that God would never send a person to hell. Adventists deny that people are born sinful, but only that they have sinful tendencies.
Ellen G. White said that Jesus came to our world not to reveal what a God could do, but what a man could do.
She also taught that Jesus did not atone for sins by his death on the cross, but that there is a final atonement coming later.
So according to 7th Day Adventists, your sins are not forgiven when you come to faith and you have no assurance of salvation.
But the Bible says to followers of Jesus, your sins are forgiven for his name's sake.
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.
Jesus warned that false Christs and false prophets would arise so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
Beware of 7th Day Adventists, a false church with a false gospel, when we understand the text.
