  • Developments in the Relationship Between Seventh Day Baptists and Seventh-Day Adventists, 1844•Fi1884
    Andrews University Seminary Studies, Vol. 55, No. 2, 195–212. Copyright © 2017 Andrews University Seminary Studies. DEVELOPMENTS IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SEVENTH DAY BAPTISTS AND SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS, 1844–1884 Michael W. Campbell Adventist International Institute of Advanced Studies Silang, Cavite, Philippines Abstract This paper reviews the complex relationship between two Sabbatarian denominations: Seventh Day Baptists and Seventh-day Adventists. The primary point of contact was through the Seventh Day Baptist, Rachel Oaks Preston, who shared her Sabbatarian views during the heyday of the Millerite revival. Later, after the Great Disappointment, one such post-disappointment group emerged with a distinctive emphasis upon the seventh-day Sabbath. These Sabbath-keeping Adventists, organized in 1863 as the Seventh-day Adventist Church, established formal relations with Seventh Day Baptists between 1868 and 1879 through the exchange of delegates who identified both commonalities as well as differences. Their shared interest in the seventh-day Sabbath was a strong bond that, during this time, helped each group to look beyond their differences. Keywords: Seventh Day Baptists, Seventh-day Adventists, Adventists, interfaith dialogue Introduction1 Seventh Day Baptists and Seventh-day Adventists share a fundamental conviction that the seventh-day Sabbath is the true biblical Sabbath. Each tradition, although spawned two centuries apart, argues that, soon after the New Testament period, the Christian church began to worship on Sunday rather than continue to observe the Jewish Sabbath. Both groups teach that the original Sabbath was the seventh day, instituted at Creation and affirmed when God gave the Ten Commandments. Each tradition developed their view of the Sabbath during a time of chaos in which religious figures sought to return to what they believed was an earlier, purer form of Christianity.

Iuorno GUERRAS, BESTIAS & DEBATES La Singularidad de la Evangelizacion Profetico-Doctrinal en la Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día Edgardo D. luorno Paraná, Entre Ríos 2019 GUERRAS, BESTIAS & DEBATES PREFACIO Si el mensaje adventista es singular, la evangelización cuyo contenido es este mensaje también debe serlo. Y si la razón de ser del adventismo se encuentra expresada en Apocalipsis 10:11, entonces su predicación debe tener un claro sesgo profético y doctrinal. En este libro, en consecuencia, se estudian los rasgos proféticos y doctrinales de la evangelización pública adventista, atendiendo a tres aspectos importantes de su desarrollo histórico: la presentación de los imperios o bestias de la profecía, los debates doctrinales sobre asuntos controvertidos de la teología bíblica, y el tratamiento de las guerras del mundo como señales de un tiempo solemne. Al recorrer esta investigación el lector advertirá la manera en la que Dios guió a su iglesia remanente a la presentación masiva y atractiva de un mensaje impopular pero trascendente. La misma sabiduría de los obreros de antaño se requiere entre aquellos que anuncian la misma esperanza hoy. 2 GUERRAS, BESTIAS & DEBATES CONTENIDO LA EVANGELIZACIÓN PROFÉTICA TEMPRANA EN LA IASD..................................................................................... 11 Panorama General Del Evangelismo Adventista.................. 11 Elena De White Estimula

  • Baptist Churches Are Not Alike
    All Baptist churches are not alike. Like other Baptists, Seventh Day Baptists believe in: the saving love of Jesus Christ the Bible as the inspired word of God and a record of God’s will for man. The Bible is our authority both for our faith and our daily conduct. freedom of thought under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. the congregational form of church government. Every member of the church has the right to participate in the decision making process of the church. So why are Seventh Day Baptists different? Seventh Day Baptists observe the Biblical seventh day Sabbath, the day established and blessed by God at earth’s creation. The Sabbath was given to mankind long before any distinctions between Jew and Gentile. God commanded that the seventh day (Saturday) be kept holy. Jesus agreed by keeping it as a day of worship. We observe the seventh day of the week (Saturday) as God’s Holy Day as an act of loving obedience--not as a means of salvation. Salvation is the free gift of God through Jesus Christ. The Sabbath provides believers with a specific time to honor and worship the Creator. It is the joy of the Sabbath that makes Seventh Day Baptists just a little bit different. Seventh Day Baptist beginnings Seventh Day Baptists emerged as a part of the English Reformation, organizing their first church in London in the 1650’s. That church, the Mill Yard Seventh Day Baptist Church, has continued for over 300 years. The first Seventh Day Baptist church in America was established in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1671.

  • Holy Time: Moderate Puritanism and the Sabbath [Review] / John H. Primus
    BOOK REVIEWS 79 Meier's attempt to reconstruct the historical Jesus thus rests on no very firm foundation and produces no assured results. Those who want solid information on the historical Jesus are far better off turning to Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John, no matter how "naive" it might be to do so. Northern State University Aberdeen, SD 57401 Primus, John H. Holy Time: Moderate Puritanism and the Sabbath. Macon, GA: Mercer University Press, 1989. viii + 184 pp. Hardcover, $24.95; paperback, $16.95. Since the 1960s there has been a flurry of new interest in the phenomenon of English Sabbatarianism. Articles by Patrick Collinson, Herbert Richardson, Winton Solberg, Richard Greaves, and books by James T. Dennison, Kenneth L. Parker, witness to this. John H. Primus describes his contribution to this discussion as "a re-examination of the relationship between the emerging Puritan movement and the phenomenon of Sabbata- rianism" in order to shed "additional light on the complex dynamics of the sixteenth-century Church of England" (vii). In his research he responds to current discussions and especially to Parker, who has "reopened the fundamental question of the origin of Sabbatarianism and its relationship to Puritanism" (2, 3). Holy Time is not intended exclusively for specialists in Tudor Puritanism. For this reason, Primus includes very helpful contextual and explanatory paragraphs on events already known to experts (vii). Part 1 is a brief historical sketch that highlights certain emphases which Parker tends to overlook. Chap. 1 describes the high Sabbath views in England already evident in the early Reformation. By the end of the sixteenth century "Sabbatarianism had become the linchpin in the Puritan program for more complete reform in England" (17), with one of its distinguishing characteristics being "the divine appointment of Sunday as the new day of rest" (20).

  • The Origins of Millerite Separatism
    The Origins of Millerite Separatism By Andrew Taylor (BA in History, Aurora University and MA in History, University of Rhode Island) CHAPTER 1 HISTORIANS AND MILLERITE SEPARATISM ===================================== Early in 1841, Truman Hendryx moved to Bradford, Pennsylvania, where he quickly grew alienated from his local church. Upon settling down in his new home, Hendryx attended several services in his new community’s Baptist church. After only a handful of visits, though, he became convinced that the church did not believe in what he referred to as “Bible religion.” Its “impiety” led him to lament, “I sometimes almost feel to use the language [of] the Prophecy ‘Lord, they have killed thy prophets and digged [sic] down thine [sic] altars and I only am left alone and they seek my life.”’1 His opposition to the church left him isolated in his community, but his fear of “degeneracy in the churches and ministers” was greater than his loneliness. Self-righteously believing that his beliefs were the “Bible truth,” he resolved to remain apart from the Baptist church rather than attend and be corrupted by its “sinful” influence.2 The “sinful” church from which Hendryx separated himself was characteristic of mainstream antebellum evangelicalism. The tumultuous first decades of the nineteenth century had transformed the theological and institutional foundations of mainstream American Protestantism. During the colonial era, American Protestantism had been dominated by the Congregational, Presbyterian, and Anglican churches, which, for the most part, had remained committed to the theology of John Calvin. In Calvinism, God was envisioned as all-powerful, having predetermined both the course of history and the eternal destiny of all humans.
