Do Seventh-day Adventists pray for the dead?

Answer 1

Seventh Day Adventist do as other people do. We cry, wear black for a period of time, but we do not pray for them because we believe that when a person is dead, you cannot pray for them anymore just hope they go to heaven. HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION!

Answer 2

Seventh-Day Adventists bury their dead the same as Baptists. There is a funeral in which a pastor speaks, and afterwards, the corpse is put into a hole dug into the ground where the coffin can fit. There is no special ceremony or ritual.

Answer 3

Adventists believe in the doctrine of soul sleep, which means that they do not believe that the dead are in heaven or hell, but instead have ceased to exist until the Resurrection. They often refer metaphorically to the dead as "sleeping until Jesus comes." Because the dead will be judged on whether or not they have accepted Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross and they have no further opportunity to change their minds, Adventists believe that praying for them would not serve any purpose. Instead, Adventists tend to pray for the living families of people who have died, asking God to comfort them and remind them of the Resurrection when they will likely see their loved ones again.
