Kua in Seventh-day Adventist hi ding hiam?
SDA theology
handbook in, “ the Seventh-day Adventist Church is a worldwide body of more
than 10 million Christians who observe Saturday as the Sabbath and expect
Jesus’ Second coming soon….. Adventists are a conservative Protestant body of
evangelical Christians whose faith is grounded in the Bible and centered on
Jesus, with stress on His atoning death on the cross, ministry in the heavenly
sanctuary and soon return to redeem His people.”(Ref. Handbook of Seventh-day
Adventist Theology, 2000. laimai, 1.). Hih in, SDAte’ upna guilet 28, a sawk
khakloh omlo hi; a vekin huam hi.
Biakna pawlpi a om

Seventh-day
Adventist te-in ki-ukna thukham nei hi. Tua thukham leh ki-ukna tuamtuamte
siksan in “kua in SDA hi ding hi,” cih khensatna om hi. Kawlgam aa conference a

kizom lote SDA hi lo hi, ci zelzel uh hi.
Pro-conference te
in, ko zong SDA hi ung. General Conference tawh kizom nuamlo aa kizomlo hilo hi
ung. General Conference tawh a kizom thei nai lo bek hi ung. Ko zong SDA hi
ung. Bang hang hiam cih leh, “the full title Seventh-day Adventist (or the
equivalent title in various languages) is the official name of a specific body
of doctrines, of which the Sabbath and the Second Advent form only a part. It
does not apply to those (mostly in small groups) who observe the seventh-day
and hold to the nearness of the Advent but who differ on other doctrines, and
hence are not part of the denomination. On the other hand, it is not denied to
those of like faith who are separated by circumstances from organziational
connection with the whole body of Seventh-day Adventists.” (Seventh-day
Adventist Encyclopedia Vol.10th, Revised Edition, laimai 1324).
Hih mun san tak-ah
