I grew up in Takoma Park, former world HQ, three blocks from CUC, Washington Sanitarium, etc. Pretty much all of our neighbors were SDA. Ours was the only house full of heathen Catholic kids.

I tend to agree with what Ellen White said about people of the Roman Catholic faith. She wrote that there are more of God’s true people in your faith than in any other Christian denomination. Some of the most committed sincere faithful Christians are Roman Catholics.
You see, God judges not by the light we have been given.....but by what we do with the light that has been given us. There will be many Seventh day Adventists who will be lost in the judgement and many Roman Catholics who will keep their first Sabbath in heaven.
We are not saved by a denomination or organization or church hierarchy or system ......we are saved by a person. His name is Jesus Christ.
That is what Seventh day Adventists believe. At least the ones I know .....protestants who study scripture more than any body of Christians I know of. That’s why we observe the Sabbath. We do not observe the Sabbath to be saved. We observe God’s commandments because we ARE saved. And when is Christian is saved by grace, the law becomes a delight. And the Sabbath day will become the best day of the week! That is why Jesus said it was, in his exact words......”made for man”..and nobody can change what he has hallowed and sanctified.
Happy New year and God bless!
