What is Seventh-day Adventists church, and what do believe?

What is Adventism? What is a biblical view of the Adventists?

The term “advent” literally means “arrival.” Many Christians commemorate and celebrate Advent in anticipation of Christmas, recalling Christ’s birth as a baby. The future return of Christ is frequently referred to as the second coming or the second advent.

An Adventist is broadly defined as anyone who believes that Christ will return. The label Adventist, on the other hand, is usually reserved for people or groups that believe Christ will return at any time, or who at least allow for the possibility. Postmillennialists and believers in a post-tribulation rapture would not fall under this category. However, believers in a pre-tribulation rapture would.

Advent Christians are typically orthodox, with the exception that they teach “soul sleep”. Which means that when a person dies, he “sleeps” until Christ returns. In other words, the soul is not completely aware of anything till it is reunited with the revived body at the second advent or. In the scenario of unbelievers, returned to life for judgment. This teaching is false since the Scriptures teach that for the believer, being absent from the body means being present with the Lord (Philippians 1:23).

What is the Seventh Day Baptist Church?

Seventh-day Adventism is a Christian movement that believes that worship services must be held on the “seventh day” (the Sabbath) rather than on Sunday. There appear to be various “degrees” of Seventh-day Adventism. Except for the Saturday Sabbath, some Seventh-day Adventists think exactly like orthodox Christians. Other Adventists, on the other hand, go far further into erroneous doctrine.

Adventism, a 19th-century movement that awaited Jesus Christ’s imminent entrance (or advent), is the foundation of Seventh-day Adventism. The Adventists were also known as Millerites because their organization was begun by William Miller, a false prophet who promised Jesus would return in 1843 or 1844.

The Millerites dissolved in dismay after Miller’s forecast of Christ’s second coming failed to come true; this event was referred to as the “Great Disappointment.” However, a number of Miller’s supporters claimed to have seen visions to explain the failed prophecy. Instead of coming to earth, Jesus entered the heavenly temple thus, Miller was correct, they maintained, but his prophecy had a spiritual rather than physical fulfilment.

Ellen G. Harmon, a 17-year-old seer who covered for Miller, received her first of 2,000 reported visions in a prayer service shortly after Miller’s disgrace. Ellen’s concept quickly became a beacon of hope for disillusioned Millerites. She brought together Adventist divisions and became the spiritual leader of a new religious movement.
