Many demons are manifesting in these comments. 😬 If anyone feels the need to rebuke this man let you be rebuked by the Lord for coming against a servant of God.
This man is a true man of God. Doing Gods work. Thank you for being bold to share your testimony and speak truth to those in the SDA church who are deceived.
I was a 3rd gen Adventist and the Lords grace found me. I became born again and was baptized in the Holt Spirit. I renounce all Adventist teachings as the church is founded on doctrines of demons. I have many friends who are still Adventist and I love them dearly but the truth is they are deceived and need to repent and follow JESUS only - not sabbath or diets or tradition. God I pray you open their eyes in Jesus name.
Amen, praise God for His salvation. Pray that the Lord would give discernment and deliverence to your friends. Grace be with you
I thank God for taking you out of this false religion my brother. I was born in Adventism third generation and at Forty years old God himself revealed the truth to me and I left with my household 🙏
Hallelujah!
God bless you for escaping. Most people who are in a cult dont know they are in one. That is why you have so many triggerd people in your comments.
Triggered..... You're not kidding!!.... Some comments are just plain nasty & belligerent.... it's terrible.
Pray that the Lord would deliver them from deception and help us to share the truth in Christ with them. 2 Timothy 2:25-26
Excellent.... Excellent.... love you're testimonial, my friend .... now you will find christ & have joy to the full!....
I used to be in the SDA faith in my 1st marriage (yrs ago), and yes i know what you're talking about!.... now remarried to a wonderful god loving girl, and im the happiness I've ever been.
Blessings to you and your family.....
Christ, be the light your feet always as you seek & walk with him.
Amen, praise the Most High for delivering you and guiding you into the truth of Jesus!
@HolySpiritHeal thank you, my friend ..... I've been looking at all the comments here & I have to say some are supportive & a few are not & dare I say are quite condemning of you salvation & belittling of you & as a result I feel hurt by this & feel for you.... there always be nay sayers & they see salvation through the optics of the EGW/7th day adventist beliefs system.....how incredibly sad!
I will be praying for you for God's peace, understanding, assurance & reassurance as you seek him .... this incredible bible verse basically saved my life (yrs ago) & I hope it speaks to you as well ...Ps 139.
Yours in christ.
Welcome to freedom in Jesus!
I have loved the gift of God, his son who died for us while we were yet sinners. Who came to give us life and life more abundantly. A savior who encourages us to take on his yoke which is easy and walk with him. I am so thankful all things are possible with God. I love looking to his example and Holy Word. I feel sadness that your experience was so vastly different. Over and over through out my life others have been encouraged by the evidence of Jesus living in my heart, working through my actions and being inspired by my experience. Works in my understanding... in no ways qualifies us for salvation but as we accept the death and resurrection of Jesus we are transformed and God creates in us a new heart and then being connecting to "Christ the Vine" our lives bear fruit. From, A saved SDA by the love of Jesus and Grace of God.
I'm a woman and I totally agree with those Bible verses about women in the church. So right.
Amen. He is not saying men are better or women are better. We are simply designed differently and have different roles in the church. It's a matter of obeying God's word in faith that He knows what is best for us.
Thanks for sharing your story.
you're welcome, God calls us to share our testimonies to encourage others!
Psalm 66:16
Wow the comments are so triggering. I was born into the sda church and I escaped at 16. You only tasted the tiniest bit bro. Living in the communities that are closed off from the rest of the world are so much worse. Good for you for studying and getting out so quickly.
Amen bro praise the Lord, glad you were delivered as well. Jesus is the only way! John 14:6
My Mom has just been seduced into this false teaching. I am sick to my stomach. I pray that the Lord opens her eyes.
sorry to hear, remember that God is sovereign over all and working all things together for good to them that love Him. Romans 8:28. Pray that God will give your mom discernment!
So many people claim God let them to the SDA church but in reality fear (the impending Sunday law) and the so called “right arm of the gospel” (health message) according to EGW led them there. I pray you become free from the deceptions and the experience true freedom in Jesus.
You are lucky only 3 months and Congrat you Blessed for know. Where you arere and where you are now!!!
yes, praise be to God!
Seventh day eventist my wife warned me not to go and I always listened to her. Too much deception and wolves in sheep clothing. I will not be seen going to any Church at all. I don’t go to Church anymore period! I am done with Church . But I will never be done with Jesus.
I'm sorry to hear, it sounds like you have had some bad experiences with churches in the past. I would encourage you not to let that keep you from having fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ. In fact, Hebrews 10:25 commands that we become part of a local community of believers. Pray that God would lead you to a loving, Bible-believing and Spirit filled church for you to serve in. Maybe try searching for evangelical Christian churches in your area and pray for God's guidance in choosing. God bless you brother.
@HolySpiritHeal I am with my brothers and sisters in Christ always and forever. That is what Church is all about not the building the people.
I am returning to Church for the people in Christ and communion always.
Would love to interview you. 🙏 ive been researching this establishment from 2021 to current.
This is a good channel/resource about Adventism youtube.com/@answeringadventism?si=7Gdwvx5esHh1l2Rt

Right. And I know of many people who started off as evangelicals who say God led them into the Adventist church. Personally, I can't figure out either one.
Seducing spirits and doctrines of devils, 1 Timothy 4:1. Pray that God will give them discernment through His Spirit. The Holy Spirit guides us into all truth. John 16:13.
@@HolySpiritHeal Right, Both sides say the same thing. Do you see the problem?
Oh Bro, don't take it personally but i think you do not understand what it means to be save by GRACE. what should be the result of your salvation? that would be what you call save by works ("...keep my commandments..."). Save by works means to not accept Jesus as your savior but trust on your on capability to follow the Law of Moses without JESUS. JESUS gives us the Salvation for free but we have to keep his Law to show him our Love for what HE has done for us. We do that with the help of the Holy Ghost.
May the KING of kings keeps you in His LOVE brother.
1 John 2:4 is one text SDAs will quote which says if we love God we will strive to keep his commandments. Jesus also said the new commandments I give you is the old commandments you have had since the beginning. Jesus also said heaven and earth will pass before one jot or stroke of the law will be abolished. Isaiah also says we will be keeping the Sabbath in heaven.
I am surprised you were not imstructed about Ellen G White before baptism when she is one of the founders of tbe SDA church. Plus SDA interpretation of scripture is based on what she claims was revealed to her in vision from God after the Great Dissapointment.
We are saved by grace through faith. Grace from what? Sin. What is sin? Sin is the transgression of the law which is the 10 commandments. In John Jesus said "If you love me keep my commandments". So can you truly say you have faith in Jesus and love him if you don't keep his commandments? Love your God with all you heart, soul and strength encompasses the first 4 commandments and love your neighbour as your self the last 6. It is all about love so ask yourself this. Do you love you God and your fellow neighbours? You shall know them by their fruits. Discern for yourself and see. Anyone that spreads hate or discord among fellow men is not coming from a place of love and their heart is not of God for God is love. SDA or not we must keep his commandments for it is just and holy. Do not buy into the interpretation of men who twists Gods word for it is of the Devil. Seek with an honest mind to find the truth and you shall find for the Holy Spirit will guide you to the truth. God bless everyone.
I pray you allow God to lead. The Seventh Day Adventist church is where God led me and it’s as far from being a cult than the East is from the West. Maybe the specific congregation you were in had strayed from the truth. But the truth as it is in Christ is the foundation of the SDA church.
A cult? Is he kidding?
@@UNPACKed. The definition I used for cult in this context is “a religious group that denies one or more of the fundamentals of biblical truth.” In the case of SDA, they teach that salvation is not by faith alone. A denial of salvation by faith alone results in the teaching that salvation is achieved by our own works.
Ephesians 2:8-9 explains salvation by grace.
@HolySpiritHeal The SDA church official teaching is salvation by faith alone in Jesus christ alone. So I don't think you have a correct understanding of what SDA teach
@@sharidandan4172 amen. 🙏🏻
@@HolySpiritHealRead verse 10 and you have the answers.
Your understanding of grace is wrong and dangerous!
Be not deceived!!
The 7th day adventist church is not a cult I have studied the bible and compared it to their teachings and everything they believe is in the bible, they seems to be the biblical denomination out their because I notice the other churches out their believe things that are not biblical
In the video I go through many of ellen white's teachings that are false and contradict the Word of God.
I respectfully say they are a cult....
You just said I disagree using a bunch of words. No logic given, no reasons other than other cults are worse. Pure sign your under a spell.
@@Greg-gr5bb I rebuked many of the false teachings with God's Word, 2 Timothy 3:16
@@HolySpiritHeal I'm sorry my message was for John
These days we misuse the word cult. Anyway no problem.
Yes. generally that is what SDA is
I won’t join any denomination that has a human figurehead. A pope, Ellen White, Joseph Smith, etc.
Amen, 1 Corinthians 3:4-7
It's funny that all denomination started by a human figurehead..
@@SiliVeitala Jesus was God in human form. For the Jews, God is God, no human. Byeeeee
@@SiliVeitala And as Christians, we follow Jesus. Matthew 16:24
@@HolySpiritHeal Exactly. We follow Jesus and what if God called this human figurehead to bring the truth to us? Just like the disciple those days and the apostles why we think differently some human figure now?
The problem is you want to be saved in your sins and not from your sins. You clearly don't want the yoke of obedience but want but want to be saved???
You have to show your faith in God by obedience to His law. John 14:15 says "if you love me keep my commandments. Satan was cast out because he Wanted freedom from the law of God. There's simply no government or kingdom without law. Even heaven has got laws, you can't be a Christian and still commit fornication or lie or kill and say we are saved by grace. You need to make effort. The bible says "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."
If you live at ease in your sina and say you're saved, forget about heaven. Jesus our example kept the law, and you want to be saved in disobedience??
Pray my brother for enlightenment
Romans 5:8. Christ died for us while we were yet sinners.
Romans 8:1. There is no more condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
@@HolySpiritHeal yes there's no condemnation to those which are in christ, when you pray for forgiveness from sin there's no condemnation but when you sin and don't repent and turn away from sin you are definitely condemned. A mere profession of discipleship is of no value. The faith in Christ which saves the soul is not what it is represented to be by many. "Believe, believe," they say, "and you need not keep the law." But a belief that does not lead to obedience is presumption. The apostle John says, "He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." 1 John 2:4.
John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
1 John 2:6
6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
My dear brother, you had forgotten the most important thing, is to pray and ask God, our Lord Jesus Christ to guide you in all truth, you need to ask for the spirit of truth to be given to you, in the book of Revelation 14.12 says
Here are they that keep the comments of God and have the faith of Jesus and 19.10 for the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy
Is not that the church is in error, I'm sorry you were with a group of people
That didn't know how to interpret the word of God, or is it that you didn't like the truth presented to you or is it that you like your sins to much. I implore you, pray with a humble heart, ask God to bring you to the truth, the church, no church will ever save no one, it is believing in Christ and him crucified, his law will stand forever, for is the government of God and is the moral law that governs heaven and earth, otherwise my brother, you're going to the fall,
2 chronicle 20.20
Belive in the Lord your God, and yes shall be established, belive his prophets,so shall ye prosper.
No doubt anti scripture, or works based religion is not the definition of a cult, maybe you should use a dictionary? And reclairify what you want to say, please.
I love SDA even if you paint as a cult, deep down you know it aint
I love Jesus. And the definition I used for cult in this context is “a religious group that denies one or more of the fundamentals of biblical truth.” In the case of SDA, they teach that salvation is not by faith alone. A denial of salvation by faith alone results in the teaching that salvation is achieved by our own works.
Ephesians 2:8-9 explains salvation by grace.
If you didn't appreciate Ellen White's writings, maybe you should have not read them.
The Seventh Day Sabbath is bigger than Ellen White. She did not start the Sabbath. The Sabbath was here since the Old Testament.
The Sabbath was going strong in America without her. The SEVENTH Day Baptist were keeping the Sabbath in America since the 1600's.
WHAT EXACTLY IS A SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST ?
Seventh Day + Adventist
SEVENTH DAY : We worship on Saturday, as did Jesus according to the Fourth Commandment.
ADVENTIST : We look forward to the Second Advent (Coming) of Christ.
The name "Seventh Day Adventist " was a modern name that we gave to the Israelite Sabbath keepers going back to Biblical Times. It is not a new religion.
MY THOUGHTS ON ADVENTISTS BEING A CULT ORGANIZATION
Today, all Christians read the bible.
Therefore, if you believe in or read from the bible, or believe in Jesus Christ, you are following these so called "Cult SDA Individuals".
Why do I say this? It is because these so called Cult Sabbath keepers, such as Moses, Paul, Luke, John, Matthew, David, Isaiah, Peter, Ezra, Nehemiah, Solomon, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, etc , were all Seventh Day Sabbath keepers, and these so called "Cult" Sabbath Keepers wrote the entire bible, all 66 Books that you Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterian Christians read from each Sunday. Since this is the case, then that now makes all of you Sunday Keepers followers of this so called "Seventh Day Sabbath keeping Cult", because you read from, and believe in THEIR writings !
Therefore, think long and hard before you dare call Seventh Day Adventists Cults, because you are indirectly calling yourself one unknowingly!
How do you even know Saturday is Saturday?
Jesus says in the end days times will be changed. He also says 364 days are in a year. You have no idea what day it is because you don't look up for the time, you look down.
i saw your critical things was not knowing SDA believes in deeply b/c you already concluded on your mind SDAs are cult so your testimonial things are very poor.and most but not list SDAs critics person like Mayles..his likely persons critics are an contextual and simply logics to accused SDAs and that's very unprecedented in the thing the critics believes are so un biblical i think we will work on that to compare on there religion stats and we will see who is not unbiblical believers untill then pls digg little more to know SDAs believes.
Pray to God for discernment, and that He would truly reveal Himself to you as Jesus Christ our saviour and forgive your sins! Romans 10:9
most your arguments are not true..even you are using text to support your preconceived thoughts..out of context...remove this falsehood against God's church..
What you call me cult 😂? I was searching for truth by reading the bible, years later God led me to SDA church. Life is beautiful as SDA, and SDA church is incompable church for it follows the Bible. You can never find a church that follows the Bible teaching and succesful at the same time. Brother, go back to the truth. Dont be Satans tool for destroying the church He has built and prosper for the long time. Theres no church as busy as SDA on sprrading the truth.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6
This young man is doing just fine.... he is free from that abomination
Remember, christ is in the people business.... not institutions!.
I feel sorry for this guy. If he would catch is breath and take a real look at Adventism his mind set would drastically change. Yes I’m a Seventh Day Adventist, and very appreciative to be so. I’m not blind to the last contention told that will play out at the end. Revelation 12 : 17. Or 14 : 12. The Bible is clear on what Sin is. ( psalm 111 : 7,8,10.) The transgression of the law. And the Bible says that Jesus will save us FROM our SINS. Not in our sins.
Romans 5:8, pray that God would give you understanding of His love
Sounds like you are immature to what the Bible teaches
This post is seeping with irony.

God does the sifting of the wheat and chaff from His church. This guy is mad at the church because he didn't get the job he wanted. As a matter of fact,he lost his salvation.
John 10:28, we are eternally secure. A true believer in Christ cannot lose salvation.

What you are saying is utter rubbish... we don't need a prophet...at all!
Your arrogance is just terrible..
My good brother , just only 5 minutes into your clip and I stopped to comment.
1. You were on the right track to know more about Jesus and his saving grace.
2. But you did not do a comprehensive Bible study with the spirit of prophecy to deeply root root yourself into the word of God.
3. Hence, you left the seventh day Adventist church to turn around accuse God's remnants and his church as a cult group.
4. Seventh day Adventist church uphold the Bible as the holy written word of God and believe that Jesus is the messiah.
5. You have never read most of Ellen whites writings. Her writings if read carefully , throws light and support scriptures that has been very helpful to every men and women through the ages to now.
5. There are only two distinctive criteria God has been us to identify his very own remnant people and his church but people can not see. You will find this in revelation 12:17. Those who keep the commandments and the testimony of Jesus. You may ask, what is the testimony? The answer you will find in revelation 19:10. Testimony is the spirit of prophecy. Where would you find spirit of prophecy? Ellen whites writings.
6. I advice you to stop where you are and start searching the scriptures and do some reading of Ellen whites writings on specific subject you will be studying. You will thank me later.
God bless and guide into his truth.
I think at 28 years of age if the Lord gives you a longer life you will still go back to the SDA because there is no other place to be. Wherever you may want to go if you accept the Holy Spirit to lead you, you will definitely become SDA, because that's the TRUTH, its God's Remnant Church which has been gathered prophetically.

If you tried understanding the teachings instead of seeing how you feel about the teachings, you would of found a treasure chest of truth that would of revealed the error that drove you to rejecting, not the sda beliefs, but the word of God which is the teachings you so full heartedly reject
What teachings? Investigative Judgement? Sunday Keepers hunting down SDAs at the end times? Right arm of the gospel aka health message?
