I told you why I mentioned Seventh Day Adventist: your post came directly from their site.
Because you copied verbatim somebody elses' writing and did not give a source,
and initially claimed it was from your own months of study. That's called plagiarism.
In fact, Ellen G. White is cited as the author of the article you copied.

I have just found out a seven day adventist is a Christian, and they only differ from other Christians beliefs because they feel Saturday is the seventh day of the week, which has absolutely nothing to do with the source of information.
No I did not claim it was my source you have.
Why are you rejecting truth from the source when Saturday being the seventh day of the week in there opinion holds no significance to the information in the source ?

You did say it was your own from 12 months of study.
I did not say it was yours at all. Nobody in their right mind, after having
read any number of your posts, could think you actually wrote that.
More erroneous assumptions and false accusations from you. Got anything more edifying?
For future reference, please give sources. And maybe try not to ramble so much. You might make more sense.

““And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.”
Joel 2:28 NIV/ Acts2:17
“Leaving the next day, we reached Caesarea and stayed at the house of Philip the evangelist, one of the Seven. He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied. After we had been there a number of days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.”
Acts 21:8-10 NIV
“Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.”
1 Corinthians 12:7, 10-11 NIV
“Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy. But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort. I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified. For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.”
1 Corinthians 14:1, 3, 5, 31 NIV
“We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith;”
Romans 12:6 NIV
“Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you.”
1 Timothy 4:14 NIV
“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.”
1 John 4:1-6 NIV
“But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.”
John 16:13 NIV
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV
I’m sure there is more. But this lays a pretty solid case that prophecy gifts can continue to the current age if recognized and biblically approached and applied.
Now,
I don’t know your motives or intentions by pounding on peoples doctrinal beliefs and theological competency. I will let that go for the time and let the Spirit sort that out. I believe there is no biblical line between sacred/secular life nor personal/Church prophecy biblically speaking, personal prophecy IS universal church prophecy when biblically applied . the believers ARE the church.
6 Spirit filled believers gathered in a mud hut in Afghanistan under threat of Islam persecution who have a biblically qualified elder or two carry just as much of the Spirit of our God in their church as a pope, bishop or organized religious establishment . These teachings are meant to penetrate our lives in a personal way and encouragement of the saints just as they did when written. We are 1 universal church and my pastor, actually just spent 10 weeks going through teaching on the apostles creed and the doctrines of faith behind it.

That God instructed these Pastors to build bigger churches because in the coming future, more people will become Members.
And that after each church was built, in less than 2 years time, all 3 churches were at max capacity.
But really should point out that the current congregation before expansion believed their Pastor did hear from God and joined the Vision.
As result, all 3 Personal Prophecies came true.
