I want to make something clear. I do not believe to be saved you have to be a Seventh Day Adventist. The Seventh Day Adventist Church is my Church, but I am not baptized into the Church. I am not a Baptized member of the Church. I was baptized when I was 17 in a non denomination Church. I do not feel the need to be rebaptized, to become an official member of the Church. I am Seventh Day Adventist. I have been baptized by the Holy Spirit into the 3 angels message and keep the testimony of Jesus and keep the commandments of God. I do believe the SDA do have the original apostolic teachings Christ taught, and my aim is to be aligned with the truths of the Bible, for I am a sola scriptura; scripture alone believer. I believe we are justified by the blood of the lamb being Jesus, and that grace and grace alone is what saves a person. I believe we are sanctified by truth, and its when we have a circumcised heart when our heart is turned from stone and turned to flesh and that the commandments of God are written in our heart and mind is when a true conversion has taken place, which is why I say we are not saved by the law; we keep the law because we are saved and converted. Believing the law will earn you salvation is salvation by works. We are not saved by works, but grace and grace alone; and keeping the law to be saved is self righteousness. I believe many SDA are treading on the same path of the Jewish Nation. As a friend said it best; Reminder of the Jewish Nation. How God committed the original oracles of truth to them, and God had intended them to disperse the gospel good news to the world, and bring the gentiles into the family of Israel. But instead, Israel failed, built a hedge or wall around them, and condemned everyone else. The Pharisees demonstrated this quite well, and were extremely legalistic. But the false Pharisaical Israel did not mean that the original Israel that God intended to be was false. Likewise, Adventism is repeating the history of Israel. Therefore, what we want to shoot for is for TRUE Adventism, and stand up for what it is supposed to be, not stand up for the poor-behaving people in it. True Adventists are not defined by whether they are members of the SDA Church or not. Its defined by those who love God and keep His commandments, and embrace the Three Angels Messages in their hearts I believe these legalistic people who put the law before grace and condemn the brethren and use force instead of love and letting the Holy Spirit do the convicting, for God convicts; satan condemns; these people will be shaken out of the Church. God will replace these people with people who genuinely love the Lord with all their hearts and will follow the lamb wherever he goes. There will be many many SDA shaken out of the Church and lost, and many many other people in all differnt backgrounds, Churches etc who will hear Gods call to come out of her my people, and will come out safely and come to the original apostolic truths of the Bible that was lost during the dark age. God says come out of her MY people.. he still has some of his people in the fallen churches, and his promise is if you are his he will safely lead you out of her, because his sheep know him and hear his voice and follow him wherever he goes John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Revelation 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth Psalm 119:151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth. Psalm 119:142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth. Psalm 119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh Here the spiritual work of Christ on the heart is called circumcision. It is done without hands, indicating that no human effort could perform this act. It is not cutting off the physical flesh, but cutting off the fleshly nature of sin through the indwelling of Christ. Colossians 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ. Ezekiel 36:27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: Romans 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Genesis 32:28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. Romans 9:4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Philippians 3:3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
