Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not yo thy own understanding in all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy path To God be the glory
Rebranded , your creed is different than what the pioneers believe ,further more Ted , we do not receive eternal life at Jesus return, we receive the eternal life of Jesus when we receive Him.
Thank you President Wilson for this timely message at the beginning of the New Year. May God bless you and your loved ones! I loved this quote: "Now, as you may know, we as Seventh-day Adventists base all of our beliefs on the Holy Word, the Bible, the Bible alone. The Seventh-day Adventist Church does not have, nor has it ever had, a set creed. Instead, we have a collection of 28 Fundamental Beliefs that express what we believe the Bible teaches.”-President Ted Wilson
I thank you, Elder Ted Wilson, that you continue to offer us strong leadership and a vision of the goal of our faith, and the duty that welcomes each willing believer. In our divided world, the Church needs guidance, and you are guiding the Lord's sheep to greener pastures.
We need God’s help to be able to navigate the relationships in our lives well! We live in a divided world, where topics such as politics or religion can create huge rifts in our relationships. This is not God’s best plan for our lives. Ask God to help you to put on his compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience! Pause to listen and show love, even when you face a dividing issue with someone in your life.
GOD IS LEADING US I SAW THIS BOOK ABOUT OURbelief BEING promoted on another Programme because I love the book I have decided to come an this channel to thanks god forgot the book as I took up My phone I came across this message about outbelief this is remarkable and amazing Thankyoulordfor giving the seventh day Adventist church this great book the 28 fundermental beliefs of the seventh day Adventists church it is beautifully written well research easy to understand enjoy universe enjoy
All I would like Ted Wilson to explain, is why is the cross in the Seventh Day Adventist Church logo turned up side down. Isn't that a free mason symbol? The entire sign with the three worm-like image on either side of the up sided down cross, looks like a suggestion of the number 33. Three on one side and three on the other. That is a 33 degree mason symbol. I need answers. Why was the original tree angels sign thrown out?
The original fundamental principles were written in 1872 and were changed by the GC this one we have today is not the one pioneers endorsed ..it was changedti make SDA be in harmony with the world..what a sad state of affairs
Sister White wrote: "Let not erroneous theories receive countenance from the people who ought to be standing firm on the platform of eternal truth. God calls upon us to hold firmly to the fundamental principles that are based upon unquestionable authority. CCh 326.7 The Fundermantal principles(1872 -1931) are based upon unquestionable authority. Do we not question the authority by revising and rewriting it? "The enemy of souls has sought to bring in the supposition that a great reformation was to take place among Seventh-day Adventists, and that this reformation would consist in giving up the doctrines which stand as the pillars of our faith, and engaging in a process of reorganization. Were this reformation to take place, what would result? The principles of truth that God in His wisdom has given to the remnant church, would be discarded. Our religion would be changed. The fundamental principles that have sustained the work for the last fifty years would be accounted as error. A new organization would be established" 1SM 204.2 She wrote it in response to the Kellogg Crisis who questioned the fundermantal principles: the first point states: "That there is one God, *a personal , spiritual being* , the creator of all things, omnipotent, omniscient, and eternal; infinite in wisdom, holiness, justice, goodness, truth, and mercy; unchangeable, and *everywhere present* by his representative, the Holy Spirit. Psalm 139:7 FP1889 147.2 "I have been instructed by the heavenly messenger that some of the reasoning in the book Living Temple is unsound, and that this reasoning would lead astray the minds of those who are not thoroughly established on the foundation principles of present truth. It introduces that which is nought but speculation in regard to the *personality of God and where His presence is* 1SM 201.3 By comparing the first fundamental principle with the fundermantal beliefe today we see a great difference. "That there is one God, a personal, spiritual being" "There is one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a unity of three co-eternal Persons"( Fundamental beliefe today) Testimonies for the Church, Volume 8 was written in the Kellogg Crisis: there we can see clearly what the truth is "The Scriptures clearly indicate the relation between God and Christ, and they bring to view as clearly the personality and individuality of each. "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; being made so much better than the angels, as He hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. For unto which of the angels said He at any time, Thou art My Son, this day have I begotten Thee? And again, I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son?" Hebrews 1:1-5. *God is the Father of Christ; Christ is the Son of God. To Christ has been given an exalted position. He has been made equal with the Father. All the counsels of God are opened to His Son.* 8T 268.1 - 8T 268.3 "As a personal being, God has revealed Himself in His Son. Jesus, the outshining of the Father's glory, "and the express image of His person", (Hebrews 1:3) 8T 265.1 "Again and again during my experience in the Lord's work, I have been called upon to meet these erroneous sentiments. In every case, clear, powerful light has been given that God is the eternal, self-existent One. From my girlhood I have been given plain instruction that *God is a person, and that Christ is "the express image of His person."* Hebrews 1:3. God always has been. That which concerns us is not the how or the wherefore., Ms 137, 1903, par. 3 The truth that the one God of the Bible is a person is contrary with the view of the Church today. For God is not three persons in one person. 1 Corinthians 8:4-6 "we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him."
Hello@@brianbeavers2890 You are right, its a heavenly trio. In the light of the testimony, the heavenly trio is the personal God, his divine Son , and the Holy Spirit. Read following testimony. "God cannot be compared with the things His hands have made. These are mere earthly things, suffering under the curse of God because of the sins of man. The Father cannot be described by the things of earth. The Father is all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and is invisible to mortal sight. The Son is all the fullness of the Godhead manifested. The Word of God declares Him to be "the express image of His person." "God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Here is shown the personality of the Father. The Comforter that Christ promised to send after He ascended to heaven, is the Spirit in all the fullness of the Godhead, making manifest the power of divine grace to all who receive and believe in Christ as a personal Saviour. There are three living persons of the heavenly trio; in the name of these three great powers-the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit-those who receive Christ by living faith are baptized, and these powers will co-operate with the obedient subjects of heaven in their efforts to live the new life in Christ." 21LtMs, Ms 21, 1906, par. 9-11 First, notice that she wrote in the beginning "God cannot be compared" and then she repeats herself and wrote "the Father cannot be described" It is interesting because what precedes this states: "I am instructed to say, The sentiments of those who are searching for advanced scientific ideas are not to be trusted. Such representations as the following are made: "The Father is as the light invisible: the Son is as the light embodied; the Spirit is the light shed abroad." "The Father is like the dew, invisible vapor; the Son is like the dew gathered in beauteous form; the Spirit is like the dew fallen to the seat of life." Another representation: "The Father is like the invisible vapor; the Son is like the leaden cloud; the Spirit is rain fallen and working in refreshing power."(par.9) The representations of God here are made with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. She did not saw them as one God and wrote, that they cannot be described with the things of earth. She believed in a personal God and knew that "God is the Father of Christ"(see comment before). The heavenly Trio is God, the Father, a personal being: "all the fullness of the Godhead BODILY" Jesus Christ is " all the fullness of the Godhead manifested. The Word of God declares Him to be "the express image of his(God's) PERSON" And "The Comforter that Christ promised to send after He ascended to heaven, is the Spirit *IN* all the fullness of the Godhead" The view Ellen G White had of the heavenly trio is contrary to the view of the Church today. At the end she speaks about baptism. And about Matthew 28:19,20 she gave testimony in another manuscript, were we can see the same truth. It's here original writing; the brackets come from here. "Before He left them, Christ gave His followers a positive promise that after His ascension He would send them the Holy Spirit. "Go, ye therefore," He said, "and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father (a personal God) and of the Son (a personal Prince and Saviour), and of the Holy Ghost (sent from heaven to represent Christ); teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." Matthew 28:19,20 12LtMs, Ms 41, 1897, par. 34 . Hope you will look it up in prayer. God bless
To the servant of God at this time is the command addressed, “Lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.” So far as his opportunities extend, every one who has received the light of truth is under the same solemn and fearful responsibility as was the prophet of Israel, to whom the word of the Lord came, saying: “Son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.” [Ezekiel 33:7-9.]{GC88 459} Ted Wilson you are telling lies ❣
We are challenging the Seventh Day Adventist Apostateorganization to answer us on the lies they are spreading Ted Wilson you have a CREED....your second FUNDEMENTAL comes from the put of HELL plus your CHURCH MANUAL REPENT FROM YOUR WICKED WAYS BEFORE ITS TO LATE and you are teaching 25 000 000 ignored members the same LIES their blood is upon your hands .
Elaboration increases clarification. But, for me, the first Fundamental Belief like the first verse in the Bible establishes this believer's foundation. That is, the Bible and the Bible only sanctions all the other beliefs. And the fact that "in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" gives verity and credibility to all that follows.
🔴🔴🔴 The Sabbath given to Israel was an old creation Day of Rest between Israel and God in the mosaic covenant. We that are A NEW CREATION IN CHRIST have a different Sabbath Day which we keep Holy. It is being Christ Himself He is The Sabbath our Day of Rest. It is everyday that we must keep holy. There were no days given to keep separate as a Sabbath unto God by Christ after He fulfilled The Law for us. There are no holy feast days to observe but we fulfill all the old shadows daily as we walk in spirit and in truth.
The Sabbath was given to mankind in the garden of Eden way before Moses and the nation of Israel, it's not for Israel but for mankind, the ceremonal laws were done away with but the moral law was not done away with, the book of revelation talk about the patience of the saints that keep the commandments of God.
@@davidngenda4149 Absolutely false! God rested, not man! It was God's 7th Day Sabbath not man's! Show me in Genesis where God gave man the Sabbath..... you're completely taking the Bible out of it's context......
@@davidngenda4149 If the 4th Commandment was God's moral law, how come the Priests continuously profaned it? Why did Jesus and His Apostles break it? John said Jesus broke the Sabbath. If it was given to all mankind, why didn't the Holy Spirit tell Peter & James that at the Jerusalem Council? If the 4th Commandment is the seal of God, why didn't Jesus say it was the greatest Commandment when He was asked?
@@MrCalidan69 I agree with you, it's the Sabbath of the lord mark 2:28 he is lord of the Sabbath, while on verse 27 of the same book n chapter, the Sabbath was made for man, which record do you have that states that Jesus and his disciples broke the Sabbath? No where in the scriptures.
@@MrCalidan69 read the ten commandments carefully, the first four commandments are in relation with God and man while the remaining six are in relation with man and man, hence when Jesus is asked, which is the greatest commandments, he answers, love the lord, which is the summary of the first four commandments and the Sabbath commandment is one of the four. The first four commandments love your lord God, the last six, love your neighbor.
What is the difference between a creed and a list of fundamental beliefs? Especially considering the fact that belief in the fundamentals is required before baptism.
I'm sorry, I don't quite understand. What exactly is the difference between a "set creed" and 28 written "fundamental beliefs"? Here is the dictionary definition of a creed: creed ( kriːd) n 1. (Ecclesiastical Terms) a concise, formal statement of the essential articles of Christian belief, such as the Apostles' Creed or the Nicene Creed 2. (Ecclesiastical Terms) any statement or system of beliefs or principles [Old English crēda, from Latin crēdo I believe] ˈcreedal, ˈcredal adj Creed ( kriːd) n Why would Seventh Day Adventists insist that their fundamental beliefs must not be considered a creed? I mean seriously, what is the difference?
@@lisasoriano8 Those who came up with the Nicene and Apostle's creeds did so, so that the masses who were illiterate could memorize important scripture. And in case you weren't paying attention to this video, it was always a group or conference of "men" who crafted little by little what is now the official Adventist creed of beliefs about the Bible, and their extra-biblical prophetess. Creeds and a list of Fundamental Beliefs are no different. Merriam-Webster Dictionary: Essential Meaning of creed 1: a statement of the basic beliefs of a religion
A church creed was more than a statement of belief; it was an elaborate, all-inclusive, binding, officially adopted summary to which all members must subscribe. By contrast, they understood statements of belief to be simply a description of who they were, what made them unique, and what Bible truth they had discovered up until their present time. Statements of belief were used to refute false teachings, expose errors in the nominal churches, and clear themselves of false charges.
Why do Adventist have a problem with marrying others Christians who are Non-Adventist, I know the answer to the question might seem like a no brainer, but i'd really like an answer.
I have all three books, from the first book of the 27 Fundamental Beliefs to the current, but have little time or patience to read them any more. This would be a good way to learn them again with the time and patience I do have.
It's always a thing to go back and review our origin. Thus, our earnest prayer is that as you read these books, you will grow more in your spiritual aspect and develop a deep relationship with our God. Blessings on you, Sean.
Progressive revelation has played an important role in the development of the Seventh-day Adventist church and its theology. Analysis of the doctrinal statements of the Seventh-day Adventist church over the years is revealing. The early statements of 1872 and 1889 show clearly the impact of the 1844 experience on the Adventist pioneers. They thus demonstrate the integration of belief and religious experience. Thus, before accepting any doctrine or precept, we should demand a plain "Thus saith the Lord'' in its support.
The original 1870s and 1880s list of SDA beliefs did NOT include the so-called, non-Biblical "Trinity doctrine"... but rather the Bible-based concept of the Godhead doctrine...
27 Fundamental Beliefs of the SDA 1931 - Published in the Seventh-day Adventist Yearbook 1932 - Church Manual Seventh-day Adventist accept the Bible as their only creed and hold certain fundamental beliefs to be the teaching of the Holy Scriptures. These beliefs, as set forth here, constitute the church's understanding and expression of the teaching of Scripture. 1. The Holy Scriptures 2. The Godhead 3. The Father 4. The Son 5. The Holy Spirit 6. Creation 7. The Nature of man 8. The Great Controversy 9. The Life, Death and Resurrection of Christ 10. The Experience of Salvation 11. The Church 12. The Remnant and its Mission 13. Unity in the Body of Christ 14. Baptism 15. The Lord’s Supper (Communion) 16. Spiritual Gifts and Ministries 17. The Gift of Prophecy 18. The Law of God 19. The Sabbath 20. Stewardship 21. Christian Behavior 22. Marriage and the Family 23. Christ’s Ministry in the Heavenly Sanctuary 24. The Second Coming of Christ 25. Death and Resurrection 26. The Millennium and the End of Sin 27. The New Earth
so where did you get number 18 of the 28 fundamental beliefs that says EGW is the Authority of source and truth since you say Bible and Bible alone is it comes from the Bible ?
We have a prophet who was given for us to not be deceived in these last days....so much deception...because we did not believe God's prophet...and now will suffer ...just like Jerusalem. So discard her and her words...you will soon understand just how much we need them...and it will be too late.
The 1884 Great Controversy proves the 1911 Great Controversy was tampered with, but not as bad as the Great Hope was. Best to have her original books, the re-edits have errors.
@@terry5914 The Great Hope was a disaster...and people should be ashamed they dwindled down the words of truth to the point of making it basically useless. One day God will contend with them...and it will not be soon enough. I read in God's word what happens to those who deny the prophets and it never turns out good for them...why do we think it will be any different this time? Move to the country...nope..our food and water are sure...When did this deadly thinking come into the church? I don't know of a single Adventist that is prepared for what is coming...and they will be just like those left in Jerusalem...and just as useful when it clears...and God's word will go out without error. Only they will not survive...because they denied God's prophets and preferred Peace and Safety...with a big old bucket of just plain lazy.
@@jenniferkwiek4321 "The Spirit of Prophesy", a 4 volume set, was discontinued and replaced by the "Conflict Series", a 5 volume set of books, printed today by SDAs. The "1884 Great Controversy" is also the 4th volume of "The Spirit of Prophesy", according to EGW, this was her finest book. You may be able to order these on line while supplies last. The "1911 Great Controversy" which is used and printed today, has been re-edited without authorization. I urge you, to compare the chapters in each, the 1884 and the 1911 "Great Controversy", called "Modern Revivals", to get an idea what has changed. There are audio versions of "The Spirit of Prophesy" as well.
Amen. i am confused a bit because the pastor says "the SDA does not have nor has it ever had a set creed", the website says, "Seventh-day Adventists accept the Bible as their only creed and hold certain fundamental beliefs to be the teaching of the Holy Scriptures". may you please reconcile the two. thanks
So the foundation of the “ Adventist “ group is fundamentally flawed. From the prediction of the return of Christ to their 28 fundamental “ beliefs” that they claim are not creeds. There was no reason to write anything more, the speaker should be referring to scriptures in context that evidences the truth of God’s word.
HELP ME!!!!! Can someone please explain to me Romans Chapter 14. There's a couple more chapters that explain this like Colossians ch2 Ephesians ch2. Am I going to hell because I don't worship on Saturday?
We're delighted to receive your Bible question, Daniel. Notice that the whole chapter is on judging one another (verses 4, 10, 13) “over doubtful things” (verse 1). The issue here is not over the seventh-day Sabbath, which is a part of the moral law, but over other religious days. Jewish Christians were judging Gentile Christians for not observing them. Paul is simply saying, “Don’t judge each other. That ceremonial law is no longer binding.” In adherence to your question about our salvation, let us always remember that Christ died for all of us. Jesus freely offers each of us the gift of total redemption from sin. Our part in accepting this gift is straightforward: “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation” (Romans 10:9-10, NKJV). It’s our belief in Him and our choice for Him that allows us to be saved.
A creed is used as a test of fellowship. Are the fundamentals used for a test of membership??????? Isn't ALL Scripture given " ...for doctrine" (2Timothy 3:16)?
We appreciate your presence here, Canadian Contrarian. We hope that we have shared the light of truth through this message of Pastor Ted. Help us reach more people by sharing this powerful presentation. Let us all be blessed.
Quoting Ellen White is Biblical? Paul told Timothy that no woman has any authority over the church! So shelf what the Bible actually says, and bow down to Ellen White
Good Evening, thank you very much for your reply. I was baptized several years ago--in August,1984,at Shilo Seventh Day Adventist Church in Georgetown, Guyana
Hi, Graciano. We are glad to see you here. We hope you will share this inspiring message of Pastor Ted with others for a dose of inspiration and an increase in faith. God bless you.
Mr. Ted.. if you solely believe Bible Alone.... Where is this located in the Bible.. "This gift is an identifying mark of the remnant church and we believe it was manifested in the ministry of Ellen G. White." hence you claim that Mrs. Ellen G. White is your prophet.... And how can you be sure she's not the false prophet since Matthew 24:24 it says For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
Read carefully John 14:15-16, 21, 23. Three times here Christ spoke and told who the Holy Spirit is. THIS is Biblical. How is it that Ellen White came out of a trinitarian church only to go back to being trinitarian? I do not believe she did. If we hold the Catholic church to be anti-Christ, how is it we can accept the central doctrine THEY claim is the basis for all their other beliefs?
So which day a person gathers for church is the Great Controversy? Can you show me ine scripture backing that garbage up? Going to church to worship Jesus is actually worshipping the Beast? Where's one scripture in the whole Bible that says Christians can only gather to worship Jesus on Saturday? Where's the RCC mentioned in the Bible? Revelation 17 calls all false religions which come under the Pope, the Vatican, the city of Pagan Rime, the Great Harlot who ride upon the Beast....the Roman Empire! Thst Gid puts it in the hearts of the 10 kings to destroy the Great Harlot, all the false religions underneath the Pope. The city of Rome is actually destroyed! So hiw can the Pope be the Beast? Willful Biblical ignorance is no excuse!
28 Fundamental Beliefs of the SDA 2005 - Added "Growing in Jesus" Seventh-day Adventist accept the Bible as their only creed and hold certain fundamental beliefs to be the teaching of the Holy Scriptures. These beliefs, as set forth here, constitute the church's understanding and expression of the teaching of Scripture. 1. The Holy Scriptures 2. The Trinity 3. The Father 4. The Son 5. The Holy Spirit 6. Creation 7. The Nature of man 8. The Great Controversy 9. The Life, Death and Resurrection of Christ 10. The Experience of Salvation 11. Growing in Jesus 12. The Church 13. The Remnant and its Mission 14. Unity in the Body of Christ 15. Baptism 16. The Lord’s Supper (Communion) 17. Spiritual Gifts and Ministries 18. The Gift of Prophecy 19. The Law of God 20. The Sabbath 21. Stewardship 22. Christian Behavior 23. Marriage and the Family 24. Christ’s Ministry in the Heavenly Sanctuary 25. The Second Coming of Christ 26. Death and Resurrection 27. The Millennium and the End of Sin 28. The New Earth Note: They added "Growing in Jesus" as #11 and they change the word "Godhead" in #2 which is Biblical and change it to "Trinity" which cannot be found in the Bible. The Godhead and the Trinity are two different meaning. The Godhead according to the Bible is our Lord Jesus Christ while the Trinity which is not in the Bible they said it is the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit and this three persons is talking to each other. Supporting text in the Bible about the Godhead: Paul in Athens: Acts 17:28-30 28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. 29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. 30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: God's Wrath against Sinful Humanity: Romans 1:19-21 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Fullness of Life: Colossians 2:8-10 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

bro is being dumb 😢
So glad this much needed topic is being covered so all can hear
We must study Christ's Holy Word, the Bible, to find His unsearchable treasures. Donald, thank you for devoting your time to reading God's Word.
Thank you President Wilson for this timely message at the beginning of the New Year. May God bless you and your loved ones! I loved this quote: "Now, as you may know, we as Seventh-day Adventists base all of our beliefs on the Holy Word, the Bible, the Bible alone.

We praise the Lord for the wonderful message from the Lord, Christopher!
I thank you, Elder Ted Wilson, that you continue to offer us strong leadership and a vision of the goal of our faith, and the duty that welcomes each willing believer. In our divided world, the Church needs guidance, and you are guiding the Lord's sheep to greener pastures.
We give all the glory and honor to God for giving us Elder Ted Wilson to lead and guide His church, Christopher! Let us continue to pray for Him.
We need God’s help to be able to navigate the
relationships in our lives well! We live in a divided world, where topics such
as politics or religion can create huge rifts in our relationships. This is not
God’s best plan for our lives. Ask God to help you to put on his compassion,
kindness, humility, meekness, and patience! Pause to listen and show love, even
when you face a dividing issue with someone in your life.
Matthew 24:36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only"
PRAISE THE LORD.
BELOVED BROTHER TED WILSON:
LET US TRUST IN FIRM THAT GOD TAKES CHARGE, CONTROLS AND RULES.
AMEN.
Amen. Thank you for your commitment to following God and His truths. May you remain faithful to our God until the end. Blessings.

Thank you so much. It is helpful for me to know the origin and development of what we believe as Seventh-day Adventists.
You are welcome, Hagumakwiha. Indeed, God has been so faithful to His church. Thank you for being part of God's children.
All I would like Ted Wilson to explain, is why is the cross in the Seventh Day Adventist Church logo turned up side down. Isn't that a free mason symbol? The entire sign with the three worm-like image on either side of the up sided down cross, looks like a suggestion of the number 33. Three on one side and three on the other. That is a 33 degree mason symbol. I need answers.
Why was the original tree angels sign thrown out?
The original fundamental principles were written in 1872 and were changed by the GC this one we have today is not the one pioneers endorsed ..it was changedti make SDA be in harmony with the world..what a sad state of affairs
Very true.. they changed god.
Good morning morning Pastor
Bible alone
Amen! Let us magnify His divine Words daily in our lives, Mark-Alex. Thank you for dedicating your life to Jesus.
Sister White wrote: "Let not erroneous theories receive countenance from the people who ought to be standing firm on the platform of eternal truth. God calls upon us to hold firmly to the fundamental principles that are based upon unquestionable authority. CCh 326.7
The Fundermantal principles(1872 -1931) are based upon unquestionable authority. Do we not question the authority by revising and rewriting it?
"The enemy of souls has sought to bring in the supposition that a great reformation was to take place among Seventh-day Adventists, and that this reformation would consist in giving up the doctrines which stand as the pillars of our faith, and engaging in a process of reorganization. Were this reformation to take place, what would result? The principles of truth that God in His wisdom has given to the remnant church, would be discarded. Our religion would be changed. The fundamental principles that have sustained the work for the last fifty years would be accounted as error. A new organization would be established" 1SM 204.2
She wrote it in response to the Kellogg Crisis who questioned the fundermantal principles: the first point states: "That there is one God, *a personal , spiritual being* , the creator of all things, omnipotent, omniscient, and eternal; infinite in wisdom, holiness, justice, goodness, truth, and mercy; unchangeable, and *everywhere present* by his representative, the Holy Spirit. Psalm 139:7 FP1889 147.2
"I have been instructed by the heavenly messenger that some of the reasoning in the book Living Temple is unsound, and that this reasoning would lead astray the minds of those who are not thoroughly established on the foundation principles of present truth. It introduces that which is nought but speculation in regard to the *personality of God and where His presence is* 1SM 201.3
By comparing the first fundamental principle with the fundermantal beliefe today we see a great difference.
"That there is one God, a personal, spiritual being"
"There is one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a
unity of three co-eternal Persons"( Fundamental beliefe today)
Testimonies for the Church, Volume 8 was written in the Kellogg Crisis: there we can see clearly what the truth is
"The Scriptures clearly indicate the relation between God and Christ, and they bring to view as clearly the personality and individuality of each.
"God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; being made so much better than the angels, as He hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. For unto which of the angels said He at any time, Thou art My Son, this day have I begotten Thee? And again, I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son?" Hebrews 1:1-5.
*God is the Father of Christ; Christ is the Son of God. To Christ has been given an exalted position. He has been made equal with the Father. All the counsels of God are opened to His Son.* 8T 268.1 - 8T 268.3
"As a personal being, God has revealed Himself in His Son. Jesus, the outshining of the Father's glory, "and the express image of His person", (Hebrews 1:3) 8T 265.1
"Again and again during my experience in the Lord's work, I have been called upon to meet these erroneous sentiments. In every case, clear, powerful light has been given that God is the eternal, self-existent One. From my girlhood I have been given plain instruction that *God is a person, and that Christ is "the express image of His person."* Hebrews 1:3. God always has been. That which concerns us is not the how or the wherefore., Ms 137, 1903, par. 3
The truth that the one God of the Bible is a person is contrary with the view of the Church today.
For God is not three persons in one person.
1 Corinthians 8:4-6 "we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him."
Heavenly Trio, not a Heavenly Duo ... right?
Hello@@brianbeavers2890 You are right, its a heavenly trio. In the light of the testimony, the heavenly trio is the personal God, his divine Son , and the Holy Spirit. Read following testimony.
"God cannot be compared with the things His hands have made. These are mere earthly things, suffering under the curse of God because of the sins of man. The Father cannot be described by the things of earth.
The Father is all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and is invisible to mortal sight.
The Son is all the fullness of the Godhead manifested. The Word of God declares Him to be "the express image of His person." "God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Here is shown the personality of the Father.
The Comforter that Christ promised to send after He ascended to heaven, is the Spirit in all the fullness of the Godhead, making manifest the power of divine grace to all who receive and believe in Christ as a personal Saviour. There are three living persons of the heavenly trio; in the name of these three great powers-the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit-those who receive Christ by living faith are baptized, and these powers will co-operate with the obedient subjects of heaven in their efforts to live the new life in Christ." 21LtMs, Ms 21, 1906, par. 9-11
First, notice that she wrote in the beginning "God cannot be compared" and then she repeats herself and wrote "the Father cannot be described"
It is interesting because what precedes this states:
"I am instructed to say, The sentiments of those who are searching for advanced scientific ideas are not to be trusted. Such representations as the following are made: "The Father is as the light invisible: the Son is as the light embodied; the Spirit is the light shed abroad." "The Father is like the dew, invisible vapor; the Son is like the dew gathered in beauteous form; the Spirit is like the dew fallen to the seat of life." Another representation: "The Father is like the invisible vapor; the Son is like the leaden cloud; the Spirit is rain fallen and working in refreshing power."(par.9)
The representations of God here are made with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. She did not saw them as one God and wrote, that they cannot be described with the things of earth. She believed in a personal God and knew that "God is the Father of Christ"(see comment before).
The heavenly Trio is God, the Father, a personal being: "all the fullness of the Godhead BODILY"
Jesus Christ is " all the fullness of the Godhead manifested. The Word of God declares Him to be "the express image of his(God's) PERSON"
And "The Comforter that Christ promised to send after He ascended to heaven, is the Spirit *IN* all the fullness of the Godhead"
The view Ellen G White had of the heavenly trio is contrary to the view of the Church today.
At the end she speaks about baptism. And about Matthew 28:19,20 she gave testimony in another manuscript, were we can see the same truth. It's here original writing; the brackets come from here.
"Before He left them, Christ gave His followers a positive promise that after His ascension He would send them the Holy Spirit. "Go, ye therefore," He said, "and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father (a personal God) and of the Son (a personal Prince and Saviour), and of the Holy Ghost (sent from heaven to represent Christ); teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." Matthew 28:19,20 12LtMs, Ms 41, 1897, par. 34
.
Hope you will look it up in prayer. God bless
@@earthenvessel7952 You are saying a Heavenly Trio BUT teaching the Heavenly Duo heresy....

Great Depression turn to Joy.. God is great all the time brother
To the servant of God at this time is the command addressed, “Lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.” So far as his opportunities extend, every one who has received the light of truth is under the same solemn and fearful responsibility as was the prophet of Israel, to whom the word of the Lord came, saying: “Son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.” [Ezekiel 33:7-9.]{GC88 459}
Ted Wilson you are telling lies ❣
We are challenging the Seventh Day Adventist Apostateorganization to answer us on the lies they are spreading Ted Wilson you have a CREED....your second FUNDEMENTAL comes from the put of HELL plus your CHURCH MANUAL REPENT FROM YOUR WICKED WAYS BEFORE ITS TO LATE and you are teaching 25 000 000 ignored members the same LIES their blood is upon your hands .
Elaboration increases clarification. But, for me, the first Fundamental Belief like the first verse in the Bible establishes this believer's foundation. That is, the Bible and the Bible only sanctions all the other beliefs. And the fact that "in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" gives verity and credibility to all that follows.
Thank you pastor
Excellent presentation ❤.
Thank you 💖💖💖

The Sabbath given to Israel was an old creation Day of Rest between Israel and God in the mosaic covenant.
We that are A NEW CREATION IN CHRIST have a different Sabbath Day which we keep Holy.
It is being Christ Himself He is The Sabbath our Day of Rest. It is everyday that we must keep holy. There were no days given to keep separate as a Sabbath unto God by Christ after He fulfilled The Law for us. There are no holy feast days to observe but we fulfill all the old shadows daily as we walk in spirit and in truth.
The Sabbath was given to mankind in the garden of Eden way before Moses and the nation of Israel, it's not for Israel but for mankind, the ceremonal laws were done away with but the moral law was not done away with, the book of revelation talk about the patience of the saints that keep the commandments of God.
@@davidngenda4149 Absolutely false! God rested, not man! It was God's 7th Day Sabbath not man's! Show me in Genesis where God gave man the Sabbath..... you're completely taking the Bible out of it's context......
@@davidngenda4149 If the 4th Commandment was God's moral law, how come the Priests continuously profaned it? Why did Jesus and His Apostles break it? John said Jesus broke the Sabbath. If it was given to all mankind, why didn't the Holy Spirit tell Peter & James that at the Jerusalem Council? If the 4th Commandment is the seal of God, why didn't Jesus say it was the greatest Commandment when He was asked?
@@MrCalidan69 I agree with you, it's the Sabbath of the lord mark 2:28 he is lord of the Sabbath, while on verse 27 of the same book n chapter, the Sabbath was made for man, which record do you have that states that Jesus and his disciples broke the Sabbath? No where in the scriptures.
@@MrCalidan69 read the ten commandments carefully, the first four commandments are in relation with God and man while the remaining six are in relation with man and man, hence when Jesus is asked, which is the greatest commandments, he answers, love the lord, which is the summary of the first four commandments and the Sabbath commandment is one of the four. The first four commandments love your lord God, the last six, love your neighbor.
happy preparation day
Happy Preparation to Everyone !

What is the definition of a creed? Are we sure the fundamentals are not used as a creed?
What is the difference between a creed and a list of fundamental beliefs? Especially considering the fact that belief in the fundamentals is required before baptism.
I'm sorry, I don't quite understand. What exactly is the difference between a "set creed" and 28 written "fundamental beliefs"?
Here is the dictionary definition of a creed:
creed ( kriːd) n 1. (Ecclesiastical Terms) a concise, formal statement of the essential articles of Christian belief, such as the Apostles' Creed or the Nicene Creed 2. (Ecclesiastical Terms) any statement or system of beliefs or principles [Old English crēda, from Latin crēdo I believe] ˈcreedal, ˈcredal adj Creed ( kriːd) n
Why would Seventh Day Adventists insist that their fundamental beliefs must not be considered a creed? I mean seriously, what is the difference?
Creeds are man made while fundamental beliefs are derived from the Gods word, the Bible.
@@lisasoriano8 Those who came up with the Nicene and Apostle's creeds did so, so that the masses who were illiterate could memorize important scripture. And in case you weren't paying attention to this video, it was always a group or conference of "men" who crafted little by little what is now the official Adventist creed of beliefs about the Bible, and their extra-biblical prophetess. Creeds and a list of Fundamental Beliefs are no different.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary: Essential Meaning of creed
1: a statement of the basic beliefs of a religion
A church creed was more than a statement of belief; it was an elaborate, all-inclusive, binding, officially adopted summary to which all members must subscribe. By contrast, they understood statements of belief to be simply a description of who they were, what made them unique, and what Bible truth they had discovered up until their present time. Statements of belief were used to refute false teachings, expose errors in the nominal churches, and clear themselves of false charges.
@@AdventistOrgChurch So, what do baptismal candidates, agree to uphold and believe?
Every Christian MUST hold to the early church creeds. The Nicene creed, Athanasian creed, and Apostle’s creed. Also, a statement of faith is a creed.
He said the SDA believes in the Bible alone The truth is that the church considers the writings of E.G. White like the Bible.
That's a lie from you and the Father of lie.
By the way your church place a lot of attention on the Sabbath, dietary laws etc. Are Chistians living under the Law of Moses? Thank you.
The people need a simple thus saith the Lord not a document of human origin(28 fundamental beliefs).
Why do Adventist have a problem with marrying others Christians who are Non-Adventist, I know the answer to the question might seem like a no brainer, but i'd really like an answer.
Amen ❤thank you lord God❤😇
I have all three books, from the first book of the 27 Fundamental Beliefs to the current, but have little time or patience to read them any more. This would be a good way to learn them again with the time and patience I do have.
It's always a thing to go back and review our origin. Thus, our earnest prayer is that as you read these books, you will grow more in your spiritual aspect and develop a deep relationship with our God. Blessings on you, Sean.
@@AdventistOrgChurch I more go to the GC website to read it there.
But do you have the 1872 fundamental principles? How have they changed?
@@Rosie916Rangi no don't have the 1872 book, if it still exists since I never heard of it. They get changed at the General Conference Session.
Accept 28 Fundamental Beliefs and throw out The Fundamental Principles of SDA’s Pioneers 1872 - 1930!?
Progressive revelation has played an important role in the development of the Seventh-day Adventist church and its theology. Analysis of the doctrinal statements of the Seventh-day Adventist church over the years is revealing. The early statements of 1872 and 1889 show clearly the impact of the 1844 experience on the Adventist pioneers. They thus demonstrate the integration of belief and religious experience. Thus, before accepting any doctrine or precept, we should demand a plain "Thus saith the Lord'' in its support.
We would all do well to compare the two and heed EGW warning re the omega of apostasies to come after her death
Pastor
The original 1870s and 1880s list of SDA beliefs did NOT include the so-called, non-Biblical "Trinity doctrine"... but rather the Bible-based concept of the Godhead doctrine...
27 Fundamental Beliefs of the SDA
1931 - Published in the Seventh-day Adventist Yearbook
1932 - Church Manual
Seventh-day Adventist accept the Bible as their only creed and hold certain fundamental beliefs to be the teaching of the Holy Scriptures. These beliefs, as set forth here, constitute the church's understanding and expression of the teaching of Scripture.
1. The Holy Scriptures
2. The Godhead
3. The Father
4. The Son
5. The Holy Spirit
6. Creation
7. The Nature of man

10. The Experience of Salvation
11. The Church
12. The Remnant and its Mission
13. Unity in the Body of Christ

23. Christ’s Ministry in the Heavenly Sanctuary
24. The Second Coming of Christ
25. Death and Resurrection
26. The Millennium and the End of Sin
27. The New Earth
so where did you get number 18 of the 28 fundamental beliefs that says EGW is the Authority of source and truth since you say Bible and Bible alone is it comes from the Bible ?
We have a prophet who was given for us to not be deceived in these last days....so much deception...because we did not believe God's prophet...and now will suffer ...just like Jerusalem. So discard her and her words...you will soon understand just how much we need them...and it will be too late.
The 1884 Great Controversy proves the 1911 Great Controversy was tampered with, but not as bad as the Great Hope was. Best to have her original books, the re-edits have errors.
@@terry5914 The Great Hope was a disaster...and people should be ashamed they dwindled down the words of truth to the point of making it basically useless. One day God will contend with them...and it will not be soon enough. I read in God's word what happens to those who deny the prophets and it never turns out good for them...why do we think it will be any different this time? Move to the country...nope..our food and water are sure...When did this deadly thinking come into the church? I don't know of a single Adventist that is prepared for what is coming...and they will be just like those left in Jerusalem...and just as useful when it clears...and God's word will go out without error. Only they will not survive...because they denied God's prophets and preferred Peace and Safety...with a big old bucket of just plain lazy.
@@terry5914 Where are they, and why aren't we using them? I have a book from 1938. It was my great-grandmother;s.
@@jenniferkwiek4321 "The Spirit of Prophesy", a 4 volume set, was discontinued and replaced by the "Conflict Series", a 5 volume set of books, printed today by SDAs. The "1884 Great Controversy" is also the 4th volume of "The Spirit of Prophesy", according to EGW, this was her finest book. You may be able to order these on line while supplies last. The "1911 Great Controversy" which is used and printed today, has been re-edited without authorization. I urge you, to compare the chapters in each, the 1884 and the 1911 "Great Controversy", called "Modern Revivals", to get an idea what has changed. There are audio versions of "The Spirit of Prophesy" as well.
Amen. i am confused a bit because the pastor says "the SDA does not have nor has it ever had a set creed", the website says, "Seventh-day Adventists accept the Bible as their only creed and hold certain fundamental beliefs to be the teaching of the Holy Scriptures". may you please reconcile the two. thanks
So the foundation of the “ Adventist “ group is fundamentally flawed. From the prediction of the return of Christ to their 28 fundamental “ beliefs” that they claim are not creeds. There was no reason to write anything more, the speaker should be referring to scriptures in context that evidences the truth of God’s word.
Pastor Wilson is teaching the Omega apostasy.
HELP ME!!!!! Can someone please explain to me Romans Chapter 14. There's a couple more chapters that explain this like Colossians ch2 Ephesians ch2. Am I going to hell because I don't worship on Saturday?
We're delighted to receive your Bible question, Daniel. Notice that the whole chapter is on judging one another (verses 4, 10, 13) “over doubtful things” (verse 1). The issue here is not over the seventh-day Sabbath, which is a part of the moral law, but over other religious days. Jewish Christians were judging Gentile Christians for not observing them. Paul is simply saying, “Don’t judge each other. That ceremonial law is no longer binding.” In adherence to your question about our salvation, let us always remember that Christ died for all of us. Jesus freely offers each of us the gift of total redemption from sin. Our part in accepting this gift is straightforward:
“If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation” (Romans 10:9-10, NKJV).
It’s our belief in Him and our choice for Him that allows us to be saved.
A creed is used as a test of fellowship. Are the fundamentals used for a test of membership??????? Isn't ALL Scripture given " ...for doctrine" (2Timothy 3:16)?
Oh yes seventh day Adventist is the religion that speaks about the Bible and it's teaching's
We appreciate your presence here, Canadian Contrarian. We hope that we have shared the light of truth through this message of Pastor Ted. Help us reach more people by sharing this powerful presentation. Let us all be blessed.
Quoting Ellen White is Biblical? Paul told Timothy that no woman has any authority over the church! So shelf what the Bible actually says, and bow down to Ellen White
Could you please send me a list of the 28 fundemental beliefs
Greetings, Jacqueline. The 28 Fundamental Beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist Church may be found at www.adventist.org/beliefs/.
Good Evening, thank you very much for your reply. I was baptized several years ago--in August,1984,at Shilo Seventh Day Adventist Church in Georgetown, Guyana
Ok
Hi, Graciano. We are glad to see you here. We hope you will share this inspiring message of Pastor Ted with others for a dose of inspiration and an increase in faith. God bless you.
Mr. Ted.. if you solely believe Bible Alone.... Where is this located in the Bible.. "This gift is an identifying mark of the remnant church and we believe it was manifested in the ministry of Ellen G. White." hence you claim that Mrs. Ellen G. White is your prophet.... And how can you be sure she's not the false prophet since Matthew 24:24 it says For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
Creed = Religious principles, no difference whatsoever, only in your stunted religious imagination and dogmatic beliefs.....FULL STOP.
Read carefully John 14:15-16, 21, 23. Three times here Christ spoke and told who the Holy Spirit is. THIS is Biblical. How is it that Ellen White came out of a trinitarian church only to go back to being trinitarian? I do not believe she did. If we hold the Catholic church to be anti-Christ, how is it we can accept the central doctrine THEY claim is the basis for all their other beliefs?
So which day a person gathers for church is the Great Controversy? Can you show me ine scripture backing that garbage up? Going to church to worship Jesus is actually worshipping the Beast? Where's one scripture in the whole Bible that says Christians can only gather to worship Jesus on Saturday? Where's the RCC mentioned in the Bible? Revelation 17 calls all false religions which come under the Pope, the Vatican, the city of Pagan Rime, the Great Harlot who ride upon the Beast....the Roman Empire! Thst Gid puts it in the hearts of the 10 kings to destroy the Great Harlot, all the false religions underneath the Pope. The city of Rome is actually destroyed! So hiw can the Pope be the Beast? Willful Biblical ignorance is no excuse!

Note: They added "Growing in Jesus" as #11 and they change the word "Godhead" in #2 which is Biblical and change it to "Trinity" which cannot be found in the Bible. The Godhead and the Trinity are two different meaning. The Godhead according to the Bible is our Lord Jesus Christ while the Trinity which is not in the Bible they said it is the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit and this three persons is talking to each other.
Supporting text in the Bible about the Godhead:
Paul in Athens:
Acts 17:28-30
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
God's Wrath against Sinful Humanity:
Romans 1:19-21
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Fullness of Life:
Colossians 2:8-10
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Yes 🙏
