Mr. Gregory,

There IS a difference between "saved" Christians(IN ALL DENOMINATIONS) and Seventh-day Adventists "members" that have lived in the light for decades and reject that light.

Seventh-day Adventists are clearly to be a "light" unto the entire earth and to reject the very sources of that light is apostasy!!!

I can easily excuse the Lutheran and the Holy Roman Catholic, and even a misguided  Islamist and can see easily how they may have lived up to the light they had and are entitled to stand at the right hand of the throne in God's good and balanced justice.

BUT, the Seventh-day Adventist that has not grown from deliberate rejection of God given  very special light, for those heirs, there is no question that at some point they are found definitively wanting and on the left hand and the Lord clearly declares "I HAVE KNOWN YOU NOT".

There are very defining standards by which you can determine if one is a "Seventh-day Adventist" and very clear definitions that put many a "social church-goer" (deliberately not labeling them "Adventists" as it is IMPOSSIBLE to believe in evolution and also believe there will be a Second Coming, an essential belief to be an "Adventist") that live well outside the clear definitions of being Seventh-day Adventists.

You can like it or lump it, but it is what it is and putting on blinders will not save any SDA from the light they have been given. Rejection is not where any of us want to be and everyone can easily identify the difference between the light and the darkness. As we get ever closer to the final days that definition will become clearer and clearer for those who do, and those who do not, accept the Light. The future of those who reject the light has been clear for over 150 years.

I will stand firm on the premise that those who have grown up in light and reject it ARE NOT SEVENTH=DAY ADVENTISTS. and that indeed does apply to both of us, most assuredly!!!

Amen!

"By some there is shunning of the living testimony. Cutting truths must not be shunned. It needs something besides theory to reach hearts now. It needs the stirring testimony to alarm and arouse; that will stir the enemy's subjects, and then honest souls will be led to decide for the truth. There has been and still is with some a disposition to have everything move on very smoothly. They see no necessity of straight testimony.

Sins exist in the church that God hates, but they are scarcely touched for fear of making enemies. Opposition has risen in the church to the plain testimony. Some will not bear it. They wish smooth things spoken unto them. And if the wrongs of individuals are touched, they complain of severity, and sympathize with those in the wrong. As Ahab inquired of Elijah, "Art thou he that troubleth Israel?" they are ready to look with suspicion and doubt upon those who bear the plain testimony, and like Ahab overlook the wrong which made it necessary for reproof and rebuke. When the church depart from God they despise the plain testimony, and complain of severity and harshness. It is a sad evidence of the lukewarm state of the church." Spiritual Gifts, Vol. 2, pp. 283-284

There is absolutely no excuse for ignorance for ANY Seventh-Day Adventist who has been in the faith for an extended amount of years.
