The Seventh-day Adventist church has 27 fundamental beliefs.  In brief, we believe:

*In a personal God. (Heb. 1:1-3)

*In Jesus Christ, as the Divine Son of God and our Savior.  (John 1:1-3, 14; 3:16)

*In the continual ministry of Christ in the heavenly sanctuary as our High Priest. (Heb. 4:14-16; 7:25)

*In the Holy Spirit, the Divine Comforter.  (John 14:16; 15:26)

*In regeneration and the new birth, through the acceptance of the gospel.  (John 3:1-7; 2 Cor. 5:17)

*That the entire Bible is the word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit.  2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:21)

*That the second coming of Christ is very near and that it will be literal, personal, and visible to all.  (John 14:1-3; Acts 1:11; Matt. 24:30-33)

*That man by nature is mortal.  (Job 4:17; I Tim. 6:15, 16)

*That immortality and eternal life are the gift of God and received only through Christ at the moment of His coming.  (Rom. 6:23; I Cor. 15:51-54)

*That the dead are in an unconscious state. (Job 14:10-12, 21; Eccl. 9:5, 6, 10; John 11:11-14)

*That there will be a resurrection of the dead.  (I Thess. 4:16, 17; John 5:28, 29)

*That the wicked will not burn eternally but will be totally destroyed.  (Mal. 4:1-3)

*That righteousness comes by faith in Christ.  (Rom. 4:3-5)

*That the ten commandments are the standard of righteousness, by which all will be judged, and all Christians are commanded to obey.  (James 2:10-12; Ex. 20:3-17; John 14:15)

*That the original Bible seventh-day Sabbath has never been changed by divine authority and therefore Christians are under obligation to keep it holy.  (Gen. 2:2-3; Ex. 20:8-11; Luke 23:54-56)

*In the support of the gospel through tithes and offerings.  Lev. 27:30, 32; Mal. 3:8-11)

*In baptism by immersion only.  (Mark 1:9, 10; Rom. 6:3-5)

*In the ordinances of humility (foot washing) and the Lord's Supper.  (John 13:1-17; I Cor. 11:23-26)

*In the gifts of the Spirit, including the spirit of prophecy.  (Eph. 4:8, 11)

*In discarding unhealthful practices such as the use of intoxicants, drugs, tobacco, and unclean meats.  I Cor. 3:16, 17; Deut. 14:3-21)

*That the followers of Jesus Christ should manifest true Christian modesty in dress and deportment and should shun all questionable worldly amusements.  (I Tim. 2:9, 10; James 1:27; Phil. 4:8)
