The Gospel of Jesus Christ:
Man is a sinner (Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:8) and our sin has separated us from our Maker (Isaiah 59:2). In His grace, God entered into His own creation in the person of Jesus Christ (John 1:1-14; Col. 1:19), born of a virgin (Matt. 1:23), and lived a perfect and sinless life, fulfilling all the Law’s demands (2 Cor. 5:21; Matt. 5:17), on a mission by God the Father to save sinners from condemnation (John 3:16-18, 6:37-40). He paid the penalty for sin which is death (Romans 6:23) and bore the sins of His people in His body on a cross (1 Peter 2:24), making propitiation by His blood (Romans 3:25). He died, was buried, and resurrected in the same body He died in on the third day for our justification (1 Cor. 15, Romans 4:25; Luke 24:39). By a living faith (James 2:18) in the Person and Work of Jesus (Romans 10:9-10), God graciously declares a person righteous (Romans 4:5), they are reconciled to their Creator (Romans 5:10-11), given Christ’s righteousness in full (Phil. 3:8-9), sealed with the Holy Spirit (Eph. 1:13), and have peace with God (Romans 5:1). They are born again of the Spirit (1 John 5:1, Titus 3:5), adopted into His family (Eph. 4:5–7), and are granted eternal resurrection life in Jesus Christ (1 John 5:11), set free to do good works that please Him (Eph. 2:10; 1 John 2:3-4). Jesus will physically return one day to judge the living and the dead (1 Peter 4:5; Acts 24:15; John 5:24-5), throwing the wicked out of His Kingdom (Matt. 13:41-3), but His people will be spared from the wrath to come (1 Thess. 1:10) to dwell in union with God forever (Rev. 21:3).

Well done. Clear rebuttal. You can hear the truth isn't landing unfortunately. Many of us were like this until one thing landed then it all clicked. The biggest thing that stands between SDA and truth is the redefining of terms I'm realizing.

[bjqb]

SDA's problem is focus on self when it must be on Jesus

[kimartist]

Oh my goodness but that was painful to listen to & he sounds like such a nice man, too 🥺 The Gospel is not that complicated - all that stuff about the different sanctuaries was so confusing 😵‍💫 - no wonder SDAs don't want want to share the Gospel & it occurs to me: How can they know if they're saved when they may not even know/understand their own Gospel, let alone the Biblical Gospel? 😭😭😭

[singingandy]

Before I left Adventism, I started noticing a couple of things. 1. People were able to read a verse of the bible and completely ignore a portion of it. 2. I could say a phrase, and it would trigger a response that every Adventist would say.
I am only just realising, this is mind control. This poor guy can't hear the gospel because Adventism guards your mind from it.

[Mister-Wabbit]

bro iv been trying to reach my family but its like they have been brainwashed. litterly

[bjqb]

I can't lose my salvation because it was a gift that will not be taken away. Ephesians 2:8-9; Phillipians 1:6; Jude 24-25. It is all God preserving me. He birthed me physically and spiritually...He will not let me fall. He will hold me fast.

[sonjamccart]

Jesus was talking about the physical birth (water) and SDA's usually think this is a physical baptism. Looking back, I can see why I was so confused about all of this when I was in SDAism.

*MAKING CHRISTIANITY SIMPLE*
In the NT there is much debate about the law versus Grace, The work of the Holy Spirit.
The gospel is the power of salvation unto them that believe says the scripture. ROM 3: 19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that *every mouth may be stopped*, and all the world may *become GUILTY before God* That's the Holy Spirit's way of telling the Sabbath keepers to shut up. >>>> about bragging how they keep the 10 commandments. The Law stands as a WITNESS against everyone who professes to keep it! Christ speaking to a Devout Jew, Who also said he kept the 10 Commandments, SAID THERE IS NONE GOOD!

If the law condemns us, how then shall we ever find true righteousness???
It is only when one puts his faith being totally dependent on Christ to supply his strength and grace that the Holy Spirit can work through us by love to fulfill the works of the Spirit as noted in Gal .5:22 *These gifts come from grace not through the law!!! God expects every real believer to use the grace and faith given him to actually fulfill the righteous intent of the law which was to glorify God's goodness and righteousness through their good works out of love, where there is liberty but not for an occasion for the flesh. But, to grow in love and to serve one another.*
But, *there are those who insist that without the law the Holy Spirit’s power and grace is void* therefore one is helpless without the law and will commit every manner of sin!
Yet, the opposite is true. The more one looks to the law for righteousness the more the are found guilty of breaking the law. Indeed the law was intended to bring you to your knees in guilt and the darkness of sin! . While *the work of the Holy Spirit is full of true righteousness found nowhere else. The law brings guilt, condemnation, fear and bondage of sin. While the Spirit brings joy peace goodness kindness meekness long suffering.* Oh my cup overfloweth.
Gal. 5: 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: *of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.*
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: *against such there is no law.*
24 And they that are Christ's *have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.*
25 *If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

We are not saved by our works. Everything he said that we have to do is works. That is a lie! We are saved by grace. He places his trust and faith in the works he is doing. He is teaching a false gospel. Just imagine him trying to share this lengthy gospel to someone who is dying. So confusing. The gospel of Jesus Christ is simple, so simple that a small child can understand. Seventh Day Adventism is a cult straight from the pits of hell!

[SolaScriptura]

Adventism is great at creating topologies that the NT never makes.

[carlosfonseca]

You have a lot of patience, brother. God bless you.

Repost of an earlier comment with some nuances.

Myles, your rendering of the Gospel at 21:50 was beautiful. I hope I can eventually testify the gospel as eloquently as you do! I'm getting better at telling, but need more practice.

But to all folks, I pray Christians learn how as Myles did it in 21:50 because this message is universal and applies to everyone.

And also learning how to correct the SDAs whenever and however you meet them in person or virtually.

[bimosunupoernomo]

Gospel IS NOT SDA DOCTRINE or SDA TEACHING!!!!

[bbsvchic]

Honestly, I pray that he receives the light of the gospel but secondly, I really pray that the Christians watching this interview would go from "what I know about Seventh-day Adventists is they are Christians who just go to church on Saturday",
to -
"...this is very concerning"
The body of Christ is so uninformed about Adventism and it needs to be exposed

[waynecharles]

I would love if Myles would ask them (sda) when did you receive the holy spirit since they mention him (hs) so naturally when they speak ..

[Daeggona]

So powerful. And thank you, Myles. Keep standing for the truth! 🙏

[albertmiller]

I don't think I've ever heard a more butchered version of The Gospel! This is why we have to get them to explain their version of the Gospel more often. It's horrific.

[PavelMosko]

It is funny to hear about the unique Adventist doctrines "part of the Gospel". If they were smart they would find a way to summarize it in some kind of pithy tract like slogan but actually doing so is probably not going to sound very well compared to things like "the Seven Spiritual Laws", "God Loves you and has a Wonderful plan for your life", Sola Fida or Sola Gratia. What would the pithy Adventist pitch be? I imagine some deep southern voice, "Brother have you heard about the Sanctuary?" and they go rambling on about all the heavenly sanctuary stuff, that probably sounds strange, even Gnostic to anybody who is not born and raised as an Adventist.

[FlyingGentile]

This is sad. ☹️ a little over an hour and Telda can't say for certain what must been done to be saved, what a waste of time. I used to scoff at Eternal Security as a SDA, praise God he opened my eyes and ears, through Oronato Diamante and brought me to the good news away from that church.

[LoCoWi]

A question for SDA's.

What calendar did God use before He created all things?
Before God created anything, the heavens and all it's inhabitants, and all the earth and it's inhabitants, God was existing even before creating "time" and "matter" as we know and experience it. Was God keeping a 7th day sabbath before creating what we know as creation?
