Are Seventh-Day Adventists considered as “cult” from a conservative evangelical mainline Christian perspective, like the Mormons, Jehovahs Witnesses & Unitarians?
Answer Blessings and thank you for your questions. Yes, The SDA is still considered a cult. Seventh Day Adventist Church (SDA), Washington, DC: The largest Adventist church. Ellen G. White, who claimed to have the spirit of prophecy, was an important early leader of the movement and taught a number of distinctive SDA doctrines, including the Investigative Judgment and Sabbatarianism. While the church’s official theology is now closer to evangelical Christianity than it was in the past, certain SDA claims and unique doctrines continue to raise questions. These doctrines include the SDA belief that Sunday worship will result in the Mark of the Beast, imbalanced teachings on keeping the commandments (baptism, Sabbath observance) that often implies a kind of salvation by works, the Remnant Church doctrine that implies that the SDA is or will be God’s only true church, and the doctrine of the Investigative Judgment.
