Seventh-Day Adventism Has Another Gospel

2nd Corinthians 11:3-4 “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.”

I have always cherished this inspired passage of Scripture as a fundamentalist Baptist preacher, because it plainly identifies the threat:

• another Jesus
• another spirit
• another gospel

I like what my long time ministry friend Pastor Max D. Younce (1935-2023) said, “Any spirit that is not the Holy Spirit is a familiar spirit” (i.e., a demon). Seventh-day Adventism (SDA) has another spirit. They have another gospel.

On the Adventist.org website, in an article titled: “How Do We Experience Salvation In Christ?,” they wrote these heretical words...

Can I Be Sure I’m saved?

When we accept Jesus as our Savior and give our life to His control, we can be sure of our eternal salvation. John writes, “Little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming” (1 John 2:28, NKJV).

As we abide in Jesus Christ, we can be confident we have eternal life.

From the moment we claim Jesus as our Lord and Savior, God counts us as worthy because of the sacrifice of Jesus. We can be confident in our salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ.

Paul writes, “For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:38, 39). When we choose Christ, He will hold us in His hand. He will never let us go, unless we decidedly turn our back on Him. [emphasis added]

I see several damnable FALSE TEACHINGS and PROBLEMATIC ISSUES in the preceding statements from the Adventist.org website:

1. You don't have to “give our life to His control” to know you're saved. That is the Devil's lie of Lordship Salvation, which is adding works to God's grace (Matthew 7:21-23). Giving God control over your life is a matter of SERVICE (Romans 12:1), not SALVATION (Galatians 3:26).
2. You don't have to “abide in Christ” to know you are saved; you know you're saved because Christ's Holy Spirit abides in you (Romans 8:9; 1st John 3:24). Eternal life is a free gift from God which doesn't require serving Him, turning from your sins or following Jesus as “Lord.”
3. You don't have to take Jesus as your “Lord” to get to Heaven, only your Savior. Lordship is strictly a matter of discipleship (Luke 14:33), not sonship (John 1:12).
4. It is not biblically true that Jesus will let us go if we “decidedly turn our back on Him.” There's not even one example in God's Word of someone losing God's free gift of salvation. If someone claims that they “used to be a Christian,” but no longer, it just proves that they were never born again in the first place. They may have joined a Christian organization or ascribed to some Christian philosophies, but they were never regenerated by God's Holy Spirit (1st John 2:19). IF SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED!
5. 1st John 2:28 addresses service, not salvation. You are saved if Christ abides in you. Abiding in Christ is a matter of pleasing God as His redeemed child (Galatians 5:25). We cannot win souls to Christ unless we abide in Him (John 15:1-5).

I cannot warn you enough dear reader to AVOID the Seventh-day Adventist religious cult. On the outside they masquerade as true Christians, but in reality they are children of the devil. SDA's avoid talking about their Investigative Judgment doctrine like the Bubonic Plague, because the false doctrine exposes their counterfeit plan of salvation. Please don't make the fatal mistake of deciding the spiritual integrity of their organization without taking a deep look into their core beliefs. SDAs have another spirit and another gospel. RUN from this place!
