Sojourner Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Hello All, Just wondering if anyone who was previously a member of another Christian Denomination who then joined the SDA would like to share their testimony about that experience? Did you visit with the SDA whilst remaining a member of your previous church, or did you make the switch straight away? What was it about the SDA that drew you to the SDA denomination, and what is it that continues to keep you coming back to SDA meetings each Sabbath? Quote
Moderators Gerr Posted April 25, 2013 Moderators Posted April 25, 2013 I was raised a Catholic. When 2 relatives who became SDAs started sharing Biblical truths, it became very obvious how unscriptural many of the things I was brought up with were. Then I was persuaded to go to a boarding school where I eventually was baptized. Quote

Ted Oplinger Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 When I became a Christian, I had to choose between my wife's Lutheran church and the Seventh-day Adventist church. I attended both for a while, until God impressed me with the thought I could not grow in the Lutheran congregation. I went solidly SDA, and never looked back - much to my wife's chagrin. That was 27 years ago. Even now, she teases me that in that should I forget to log out of Facebook, she would post on my page about how I've left the SDA church to become a solid Lutheran - for the shock value..but she also knows that it would be "turn about, fair play". Blessings, Quote "As iron sharpens iron, so also does one man sharpen another" - Proverbs 27:17 "The offense of the cross is that the cross is a confession of human frailty and sin and of inability to do any good thing. To take the cross of Christ means to depend solely on Him for everything, and this is the abasement of all human pride. Men love to fancy themselves independent. But let the cross be preached, let it be made known that in man dwells no good thing and that all must be received as a gift, and straightway someone is offended." Ellet J.
