We have started 2 NEW Youtube channels where we will continue uploading videos. There's already a bunch of videos to binge. One channel focused more on men, and one on women. See you there! 🙏

The problem with being born and raised in the SDA church is that we don't experience the conversion that others experience, you know what I mean? That moment when your life changes direction, because you believe that because you are already in church you don't need to change! And that takes time, I mean, it takes time for you to realize that you need a change, a change that only God can make!

I left the Adventist church and became an atheist however through events in my life I studied my way back to the Adventist church - the teachings are solid and its foundation sure. I can defend my faith and what I believe through the bible and it alone! Not that the people in the church are perfect however the doctrines whether followed or not are solid. Amen. Thank you Lord for opening my eyes to your truth!

I had left as a teenager but came back too. One of the things I admire about our church is the truth and also the organisation. I have traveled to over 100 countries from Nigeria to Slovakia and church and the warmth of the brethren feels the same everywhere. It's so wonderful what we have. The remnant church. ❤️

I’ve been reading Bible years but I had bad experience with Religious group so afraid to go to any church. Few month ago I heard about SDA in US where I live now and also found that my favorite Japanese YouTube pastors are all from SDA.

Born and raised Catholic, became part of other churches too until I have the time to study the Bible for myself and that's when my whole family accepted what the Bible teaches and baptized to Jesus and became part of Seventh-Day Adventist Church. Praise God. And God bless you, brethren.

You either didn't read the Bible with an open mind or outrightly lied about doing so. Some of SDA doctrine is debunked by scriptures. Like the Sabbath day law and not eating pork etc many people who read the Bible with honesty did leave SDA. Interesting video by d way

Actually this is my journey, i became an ADVENTIST at around 22. My husband was born an ADVENTIST and he used to travel alot but wherever he went the first thing he would ask the people around is WHERE CAN I FIND AN SDA CHURCH here, like that moved me alot.
He read the Bible to me starting from the Sabbath being in Genesis even before the 10 commandments.
I was really moved, he told you need to read the Bible yourself, The Holy Spirit will guide you and that's what i did.

People normally say the commandments were for the Israelites but when we see the convenant box and in it were the two stone tablets which was made according to what is in heaven, i just sit back and let their lies fly 😅
In the book of Revelation there's a verse which says and there was lighting in heaven, the ark of convenant appeared containing the stone tablets with the fourth commandment saying

This war going on is all about worship and through the Bible we see God's emphasis on the day of worship, this is where the Advents started from till this day.

I got baptized but on only the scriptures in the Bible not any other Book like how people say we follow Ellen White.
A true ADVENTIST stands by the Bible ALONE.
The best thing that has happened in my life is joining the SDA CHURCH, stay strong because our church too has been infiltrated..

As an SDA family member I too have come and gone and come back again much like you have and I wanted to thank you for your approach namely the title of this video because it definately caught my attention. My return to the SDA family has been powerful and I have been grateful to have been accepted right away while acknowledging the fact that the truth is indeed that YHWH lives and our God is One God, a God of God's if you will. Praise YHWH for every one of us who believes in the second coming of our savior. YHWH lives inside of me as does every believer that has graced HIs Presence. God Bless. 🔯

I left because of Ellen White false teachings.

Example:
DID GOD SEND RAVENS TO FEED ELIJAH?

EGW - NO: "There He honored Elijah by sending food to him morning and evening by an angel of heaven." (Testimonies, Vol. 3, p.288, written in 1873).

EGW - YES: "He who fed Elijah by the brook, making a raven His messenger."
(Testimonies, Vol. 4, p.253, written in 1876).

BIBLE - YES: "And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook." (1 Kings 17:4-6).

NOTE: In 1873 EW contradicted the Bible when she said Elijah was fed by an angel.
Then three years later in 1876 she changed her mind and agreed with the Bible that it really was a raven. Then, a year after her death, her editors tried to smooth things over by omitting any reference to either an angel or a raven. They changed EGW's words to say Elijah was just "miraculously provided with food." (Prophets and Kings, p. 129, written in 1916).

There are countless other times she contradicted or added things like angels needing golden cards to enter heaven. National Sunday law nonsense. No meat or dairy, etc.

How do SDA approved of rebaptism... When The Word of The Lord clearly said that there's only one Baptism.

Ephesians 4:5
One Lord, one faith, one baptism.

Melvin! Wow, I am so glad I watched your video. When I first saw the title I thought "oh, great. Another disgruntled Adventist who left the church and is going to diss the church and try to convince others to leave. For some reason I watched your video and boy was I surprised and happy with the outcome. I'm a life long SDA. I left the church as a teenager for many of the same reasons you mentioned. I came back after a few years because God convicted me that the SDA church is preaching His message for this time in earth's history. Thank you for sharing your story. I will be following your channel. My husband is employed by the General Conference of SDAs. He has his own wild and wonderful conversion story. He went from being an agnostic Jew to an ordained minister of the SDA church. God is working! Keep pressing on the straight and narrow road. The end is in sight! Shalom.

Your experience reminds me a little of what I went through with my marriage. For years, I was discontent. I saw all the flaws of my husband and determined that when my daughter graduated from college, I would leave him. He knew that I had this in mind also, as we were basically living under the same roof as roommates for years. We were actually able to be pretty civil and I liked some things about him still, but I just knew I'd be happier with someone else. I filed for divorce, and on the day that I was to call to set up the court appointment, I asked God if He wanted me to make the call. If He didn't, I wanted Him to give me a certain sign. Well, that sign was given. I didn't make the call, but I also didn't tell my husband about it. The next day, he said he was moving out of state in a few days and would not be around for the court date. I thought that was it, our marriage was done. But then God directed me, through an SDA pastor to read 1 Corinthians 7. The truth of the verse that says a believing wife should not leave her unbelieving husband if he wants to stay with her struck me. I decided that I had to find out if my husband wanted to stay with me still. I'd felt he also wanted the divorce. I went to his room and woke him up to ask if he wanted to stay married. He said he did. I actually asked God for one more sign, when a terrible argument happened between us a few days later and I was so set to go ahead with the divorce, no matter what sign had been given or what I'd read in the Bible. God graciously gave me that final sign. I made the commitment to stay, because it was right and because God let me know it was His will for me. Once we know the truth, it really does change things. While my husband hadn't changed and even now, is not all I'd hoped for, I came to realize that He is the man I need, the man God joined me to. Knowing that God wanted us to be together still, changed me. I no longer felt trapped and stifled. I felt at peace with everything. Over the years, I've been able to see why we are together, and I appreciate our journey so much. We must make our decisions based on truth and not feelings. When we do this, it will change our perspective and help us to minister that truth into the lives of others.

I was born and raised in the SDA church, did many years of wondering, just returned back to the SDA church this year and got re-baptized! There’s flaws in all churches but God’s truth and guarding our hearts in His word/testimony is imperative! We must be walking in accord on earth as in heaven; not of this world we are sojourners! 🕊

The positive church plant that you are describing is my experience with my SDA church. The most important thing is finding a church that teaches “Relationship with Jesus is what is important, not focusing on rules.”
There are some extreme SDA groups and churches that sadly forget to share love. Remember we are saved by a relationship with Jesus nothing else. All churches have people that are true believers. Brother, SDA are not more special than any other Christian group. With that said, we have a special message to share with the world to people for the second coming of Jesus. When we see Jesus, we will see him as he is. How will we prepare for this by the world entertainments and by going along with mainstream popular messages, shared in the pulpit OR is it by being a peculiar people that allow the Holy Spirit to fill and lead us. next time you do some of your activities ask, is this something Jesus would be glorified doing. Great deceptions are ahead of us. only those that are filled with the Holy Spirit and truth will be able to discern.
goodluck, my friend I wish you the best on your journey. Remember, Jesus says the road is narrow that leads to heaven and wide is the one that leads to destruction.
By the way, Adventist do preach there will be healing at the latter rain. There will be a miracles. There will be truth being shared, speaking in tongues (different languages not learned)as when the Holy Spirit falls, which is bound to happen anytime now, as we prepare for the final movements, which will be rapid ones.
