I just went through a month long Prophecy seminar at an SDA church. They do not believe we are going to hell if we worship on a different day. I work with an SDA gentleman, a good Christian guy. The whole seminar was very thought provoking.
After much thought and deliberation I have come up with this compromise and feel satisfied. On Six days, I do my labor, and on the Seventh I rest according to Gods command. That rest day just happens to be the first day of the week according to the calendar.
I feel I am worshipping God according to His commands, and celebrating Christs victory over death and hell. Some of you may not agree, I know SDA does not agree. But I do not let anyone make me feel bad as Colassians 2 points out.

Christians are not commanded to work 6 days and then rest for one. We are not required to keep the sabbath.

Some may have mellowed out. They used to be strict restorationists, holding that all other churches were demonic. If they really have mellowed out their theology, I’m glad to hear of it, but from my recent encounters (2001-2003), I’d guess it’s more likely that they’ve adopted a strategy similar to the Mormons: leave the tough doctrines until people are hooked.

It’s tough to imagine them mellowing out so much, since their existential belief is the grandest conspiracy theory in the history of man: that all of Christianity was subverted by Satan through the workings of Constantine who somehow tricked all of Christendom (including those waaaay beyond the influence of the Roman Empire) to worship a pagan god by worshiping on Sundays.
