The Seventh Day Adventist which is commonly know as Adventist is a Christian denomination which known for their belief in the Sabbath which is on Saturday the seventh day of the Judeo Christian week. They also believe in the second coming of Jesus. Adventist is the 8th largest Christian body which was developed by Ellen G White whose writings is held highly in what they believe, in the 9th century during the Millerite movement. Some of the theology goes along with the evangelic beliefs of the Trinity and ineffability of scripture, believing that the bible is free of errors on issues of faith and practice. Some of the main teachings are the unconscious state of the dead which is the belief that the soul sleeps unconsciously during death of the body and its resurrection on Judgment Day, and the doctrine of investigative judgment which is the belief that there is a heaven Jesus was inaugurated as our High priest and he began his ministry during the time of his ascension, he then entered the last phase of his ministry which is investigative judgment the ultimate deposition of sin, the Day of Atonement where the sanctuary is cleansed with the blood of an animal but the heavenly things are purified by the blood of Jesus. The investigative judgment is when the dead are asleep in Christ so in Him they are deemed worthy to be part of the first resurrection, and people on earth who follow the commandments and have faith in Jesus are ready for heaven. If you are loyal to God you get heaven. The church is known for their conservative beliefs, distinctive diet and health, promotion of religious liberty, and the holistic understanding.

"God's vision for you is life as he lives it, and wants to give you the highest quality of life possible." "In the heart of God is a place you can experience at home. God loves you and wants to end time with you personally one on one as two close friends." www.adventist.org From what I have discovered about Adventism is that it isn't too much different from what we believe we have a lot of the same understandings aruJ_beliefs on a lot of things, but I think that Adventists are way more stricter on things, and they are very old school and conservative. I personally would not want to be apart of this religion I think it's too strict and I don't agree with a fee things. One big factor is that they believe to get to heaven by faith alone but they believe that faith is shown by action of good works.
The New Salem also believes that when they preach, the words come from God and not man. The other associations of the Old Regular Baptist also believe this to be true as well.

Christianity is considered to be a living religion especially in terms of the reach for salvation. In the present through the practice of Baptism, Christians believe they die to the life of Original Sin and are born again to Christ, thus able to achieve Salvation. Thus, the tradition and sacred ritual of baptism implies that in order to be active adherents in the Catholic church, one must be baptised, just as Jesus was in the New Testament, “Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptised every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ.” (Acts 2:38) Another way in which baptism demonstrate that Christianity is a living religious tradition, is through the teachings associated with the purpose of human existence. Through the act of Baptism, which is a direct display of the belief in Salvation through Jesus, the purpose of human life is presented in terms of adherent’s purpose to lov...

The African Methodist Episcopal Church also known as the AME Church, represents a long history of people going from struggles to success, from embarrassment to pride, from slaves to free. It is my intention to prove that the name African Methodist Episcopal represents equality and freedom to worship God, no matter what color skin a person was blessed to be born with. The thesis is this: While both Whites and Africans believed in the worship of God, whites believed in the oppression of the Africans’ freedom to serve God in their own way, blacks defended their own right to worship by the development of their own church. According to Andrew White, a well- known author for the AME denomination, “The word African means that our church was organized by people of African descent Heritage, The word “Methodist” means that our church is a member of the family of Methodist Churches, The word “Episcopal refers to the form of government under which our church operates.”
In 1929, Victor Houteff, a Bulgarian immigrant, claimed that he had a new message for the Seventh Day Adventist church. He submitted it to the church in the form of a book called "The Shepard's Rod". In the book he points out how the church has departed from basic church teachings. The churches leaders frowned upon his claims and felt that they would start uproar in the church. The leaders decided to ban him from the church. Once he was banned he formed a new church called the Davidian Seventh-day Adventists. He got the Davidian from the belief to restore the Davidic kingdom. In 1955 after Houteff's death the movement split forming the Branch Davidian Seventh-day Adventists. The term branch refers to the new name for Jesus Christ. The group, founded by Benjamin L. Roden, settled outside of Waco, Texas. The group occupied land formerly owned by the Davidian group. George Roden, the son of Benjamin, claimed he was the group's prophet but was sent to jail. The group never had a clear-cut leader until Vernon Howell took charge in 1988.
According to a Christian, there is one true God, and he revealed Himself through the Holy trinity, which is made up of three people; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They also believe that God alone created the world and everything that encompasses it from nothing in six days. They believe that the world was good until Adam sinned against God, and now all people are born into sin. They believe that God sent his only son Jesus to save the world from sin and that Jesus died for all their sins and rose from the dead. They believe that the Holy bible is the sacred word before and after Jesus’s time and that they should live by it to please God and thank him for his son. They believe that people are saved by faith through the grace of Jesus Christ.
The cult had many beliefs that our human bodies were only vessels, occupied by members of the “Kingdom of Heaven.” They believed that Marshall Applewhite was a link between their cult and their god. It was said that god spoke to them through Applewhite. He was considered an equivalent to the Christian religions Jesus. And that people need to follow him as people had followed Jesus 2000 years ago. The cult believed that their time on earth was only a schooling to learn how to become a member of the kingdom of heaven. Do (Applewhite) taught them that in order to leave behind this world and move on to the next, people had to give up their family, sensuality, selfish desires, your human mind and your human body if necessary.
Any time we hear the word 'Amish' we automatically think of 'old fashioned' people but let’s talk about the most important thing, their religion. The Amish dress very plain, believe in adult baptism, live off the land, and don't believe in conformity. Anabaptism emerged around the Reformation era, thats the time period when Bibles were first being published in languages for ordinary people. The people began to study their Bibles more and more then eventually decided to live exactly how the first people did. Since Anabaptism began the same period as Protestantism, Anabaptism is often confused with Protestant or is often thought of as a branch off the Protestant church. Actually Anabaptists are not Baptist at all because Baptists are Protestant. Now that we know what religon the Amish really are, we can talk about the different rules that come with that religion, this set of rules is usually unwritten but passed down from generation to gerneration by practice or oral tradition, the church leader wil...

...days to remember great saints, and so forth. They also have a couple that are specific to their own history, including the celebration of Reformation Day on October 31st, generally regarded as the day when Martin Luther launched the Reformation. Interestingly enough, it coincided with All Saints Day celebrations, where the Church remembers all who have died in Christ with the hope of salvation and redemption.
Jews keep Sabbath as a holy day set aside for god. It is celebrated at
The Episcopal Church was founded in the 16th century during the Protestant Reformation on the belief to spread Christianity and worship . The Episcopal church originated from the Church of England that modeled much of it’s religious beliefs from the Roman Catholic Church. Episcopalians (followers of the Episcopal Church) refer to their religion as “Protestant, yet Catholic,” (Wikipedia). I had the privilege to interview one of my teachers from middle school, Erin Havens. She grew up as a conservative Episcopalian, and described that experience as being almost identical to, “The way the Roman Catholics hold their masses, holidays and how they practice their beliefs,” (Havens). Which is true, because most of the modeling of the faith is role modeled after the Catholic Church other than some key differences.
The Seventh day Adventists, for example, continue to worship on the seventh day. Their argument is that the Sabbath is one of the Ten Commandments; therefore, it is a part of God's will. According to them, the shift to Sunday resulted from the infiltration of pagan ideas. Other Christian groups counter that argument by stating that Sunday is the Christian form of the Sabbath. These Christians argue that the purpose of God's command to observe the Sabbath centered on the idea of dedication to the Lord. Because Jesus is the Son of God, he had the privilege to change the Sabbath to a different day. This side claims that Jesus switched the days as a way to extend the blessings from the Jews and to spread the blessings to the rest of the world. Others, however, argue that Christians do not observe the Jewish Sabbath, instead Christians worship on Sunday. Apparently, the early church would gather on Sunday to commemorate Jesus' resurrection. Unfortunately, there is not a passage in the scriptures that explains why the Sabbath was moved from Saturday to Sunday. Based on our little evidence, it seems plausible that the shift occurred gradually overtime. The church probably changed from a traditional Jewish style to more of a Gentile style. The early church fathers the viewed Sabbath as a Jewish custom while they viewed Sunday as a Christian practice. All in all, I'd does not matter which day is
