I can't speak for ALL Seventh Day Adventists, but the SDA's I run into on various Christian Forum sites tend to lean heavily towards legalism in regards to obeying the 10 commandments for salvation with a heavy emphasis on sabbath keeping. I will never forget a conversation I once had with a previous member of Christian Chat who happens to be SDA and was banned back in 2017. He made this statement to me below which demonstrates that he teaches, "salvation by grace plus law, faith plus works." (Galatians 1:6-9)

The counterfeit Gospel is out there. What is the other Gospel? It is a Gospel that tries to separate God's Law (10 commandments) from the Cross. It is a Gospel that tries to separate God's 10 commandments from the plan of salvation. God’s Law has always been part of the true Gospel of Christ. The counterfeit Gospel does not have it. God's forever Law (the 10 commandments) is the foundation of both the Old and the New Covenant and the very foundation and basis of the true Gospel of Christ.

What if the Lord allows them to believe that way yet He uses them to further His plan?

I have no experience with them. Do they use the KJV?
The consensus in the BDF is that the SDA are certainly not Christian and are probably going to hell. Same thing with Catholics. All of the other denominations are 100% in compliance with scripture in all doctrine and practices. I am not stating my opinion but rather what the general consensus is in the BDF.

That BDF consensus stuff is gonna give you high blood pressure. :p

I thought that I had found a Church to attend. For me, the LDS are not suitable, though I tried.
The new potential Church is in an old warehouse and I had decided to try it. Then I saw that it was SDA. That ended that. They don't even use a real Bible. I checked with this forum to see if I had been too harsh.

God has His Own in every congregation. Ask where He wants you to go, what He wants you to do, that is how to be happy IN Jesus.

then she and i think 2 other men started the sda church.

Are 7th Day Adventists Christians
You could also ask the question, are Methodists, Episcopal, Baptists Christians?

For I know persons in different denominations and they call themselves "Baptist" etc, but are NOT saved, for salvation is ONLY by an encounter with the Lord Jesus, having faith in Him, washed in Hs Blood and being born again! Acts 2v21, 4v12, John 3v16, Eph 1v7, 2v8.

So, I think a more appropriate question would be, can a person be saved and "belong to" the 7th Day Adventist church?

Your final analysis is spot on. There are believers in all denominations, but not one denomination is correct; only Jesus Yeshua is correct. He has made us all children of Abraham. Abraham says a lot more than simply our f Patriarch. God bless you always.

Seventh-day Adventists teach that the near the end of time the "mark of the best" of Revelation 14 will be placed upon those who worship on Sunday instead of Saturday. o_O

In my opinion, there is NO way to say which day is the Sabbath. There is no way to count back to the creation to find the day of rest.

Wow.... so far off base.... please check your facts.

An unfortunate incident occurred when White was nine years old. While walking home from school, a classmate threw a rock at White, hitting her in the face and knocking her unconscious for three weeks.
