About Us

We are Seventh-day Adventist brethren who believe in the historic faith of our Pioneers. We hold on with a grip of faith to the 1889 Fundamental Principles of our church. We do not agree with the New Theology or Evangelical Theology and the doctrine of the Trinity that crept into the church.

OUR BELIEF

What does Historic Seventh-day Adventist Church of Revelation Believe?

1

1889 Fundamental Principles

We affirm that the 1889 Fundamental Principles constitute a faithful and accurate summary of the fundamental doctrines of Holy Scripture as understood by the early Seventh-day Adventist pioneers. While recognizing that the Bible alone is our supreme rule of faith and practice, we regard these Principles as a reliable expression of present truth and a sound platform for the proclamation of the everlasting gospel.

Distinctive Biblical Emphases

In harmony with the Holy Scriptures, we uphold the following doctrinal convictions as essential features of the everlasting gospel and present truth.

A. The Nature of Sin  |  B. The Divinity and Sonship of Christ  |  C. Church Organization  |  D. Baptism

Romans 6:16–18  |  2 Peter 1:3  |  Ephesians 4:11  |  Matthew 28:19–20

Our Doctrinal Position Concerning the Godhead

Our understanding of the Godhead is consistent with the testimony of the pioneers. We acknowledge our historic connection with the Seventh-day Adventist movement and recognize that sincere believers within the wider Adventist community hold differing understandings regarding the Godhead.

The Three Angels’ Messages

We believe that the messages of Revelation 14:6–12 constitute God’s final message of mercy to a fallen world and prepare a people to stand in the day of Christ’s appearing.

Revelation 14:6–12  |  Hebrews 4:14

5

The Atoning Ministry of Christ

We believe that the atoning ministry of Jesus Christ embraces both His sacrificial death upon the cross and His continuing ministry as our High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary.

Hebrews 7:25  |  Hebrews 9:11, 24  |  1 John 2:1

Victory Over Sin

We believe that through the indwelling power of Christ and the ministry of the Holy Spirit, every believer may obtain victory over every known sin.

Romans 6:1–4  |  Philippians 4:13  |  1 John 3:6

7

The Humanity of Christ

We believe that the eternal Son of God became truly incarnate, assuming the human nature of the fallen race after four thousand years of sin, yet without possessing or cherishing a sinful character. Through His life in our likeness and His death in our behalf, He restored what was lost.

Romans 8:3  |  2 Corinthians 5:21  |  Hebrews 4:15

Our Banner

We affirm the commanding banner entrusted to God’s remnant people is,

“The commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”

Revelation 14:12

This banner embodies loyalty to God’s eternal law and complete faith in the saving merits and enabling grace of Jesus Christ.

The Second Coming of Christ

We believe in the literal, personal, visible, glorious, and imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ. At His appearing every eye shall see Him, the righteous dead shall be raised, the living saints shall be translated, and the redeemed shall ever be with the Lord.

John 14:1–3  |  Acts 1:9–11  |  1 Thessalonians 4:16–17  |  Revelation 1:7

Christ returning in glory above a crowd of people looking up
