Seventh-Day Adventists

They are not a blatant cult in thier modern form though they do have different beliefs from traditional Christianity.

Adventists do belive that Salvation is by grace, they believe in the Trinity, they believe in the Authority of the Bible. They also hold an orthodox view of the Atonement.

Adventists differ from traditional Christianity in their view that the wicked will be annihilated upon death ( A view shared by some like Greg Boyd in Evangelical Christianity).

Adventists belive Baptism must be done to Adult Converts, and must be by immersion.

-Adventists deny any sort of Calvinistic election.

Seventh Day Adventists are defined by their insistance that worship must be on the Sabbath Day(Saturday) and Their are strongly defined by their premillineal beliefs. Adventists believed that Christ returned in 1844 to inspect the world, before his final reign was to begin.

-One of their big past problems was placing of writings by their founder Ellen G. White as an equal authority with the Bible. This is something they seem to have moved away from.

-Although they were founded by a women, they still vehmentaly deny Women's Ordination.
