What are the differences between Seventh-day Adventists and Assembly of God?

Answer 1

The Seventh-day Adventists celebrate their Sabbath on Saturday. Another answer: There are several differences, but because both are more or less mainstream evangelical denominations, they are fairly similar. Some differences are: 1) that Southern Baptists believe that you go to heaven or hell at the moment of death, while Adventists believe in soul sleep (that you are "asleep" until the Second Coming: your body stays in the ground and you cease to exist until Jesus creates you anew when he comes back); 2) Adventists believe in an investigative judgment which started in 1844, where God is looking over the records of everyone's life, deciding who is saved and who is not, which Southern Baptists do not believe in; 3) Seventh-day Adventists go to church on Saturday, their Sabbath, because they believe that the day of worship set apart at creation and mentioned in the Ten Commandments was never changed (even Jesus kept the Sabbath!), while Southern Baptists go to church on Sunday in celebration of Jesus' resurrection, as many other denominations do.

Answer 2

Seventh-day Adventists believe in the Trinity, that Jesus, Jehovah, and the Holy Spirit are one, and yet separate beings in a triune godhead, a teaching that is rejected by Jehovah's Witnesses as being unscriptural.

Seventh-day Adventists also believe that all people are able to go to heaven, while Jehovah's Witnesses believe that only a limited number of people will rule as kings with Christ Jesus in heaven, while the majority of mankind will have the opportunity to live eternally in paradise on earth.

As their name implies, Seventh-day Adventists believe that Christians must continue to observe the Sabbath day (Saturday), according to the Mosaic Law of the Israelites, while Jehovah's Witnesses believe that when Jesus Christ died, that Law code was done away with, and therefore, they do not keep any particular "sabbath day" in the literal sense.

Differences between Jehovah's people and Seventh-day Adventists:

1. Jehovah's Witnesses train all their members to be regular participants in the house-to-house ministry. This is not just a temporary stint, but a life-long activity for each member, from before our baptism, till the day we die. Seventh-day Adventists do not have this kind of ministry.
2. Jehovah's Witnesses have a weekly schooling for all their members. We never graduate. It is ongoing training for the door-to-door ministry; and other forms of 'witnessing' ministries. The Seventh-day Adventist Church has no such training course for all its members.
3. Jehovah's Witnesses abhor any connection with Christmas due to the belief that its customs have pagan origins. Most Seventh-day Adventists, while recognizing the pagan origins of many of the associated customs, do celebrate Christmas in commemoration of Jesus' birth, though they recognize that He was not born on that day.

Answer 3

The difference between other Christians and Seventh-Day Adventists is that we are absolute 10 commandment keepers, we believe that Ellen G.White was a prophet of God, we keep Lev.11 dealing with food and the sabbath.

Answer 4

One difference between the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the Baptist Church is that Seventh-day Adventists worship on Saturday and regard it as the Sabbath. Baptists do not and go on Sunday though you have Seventh Day Baptists. Also, most SDAs believe in Ellen G. White's teachings. There are some things that are the same like baptism by full immersion, etc.

Answer 5

They are both Christian churches and like most believe the Holy Bible to be the word of God, and have many other beliefs that are similar. However there are a few differences, the first is that Seventh Day Adventist's (SDA's) go to church on Saturday not Sunday like Assemblies of God Churches. SDA's believe in the Sabbath, which starts sundown Friday until, sundown Saturday. Another major difference is the importance of speaking in tongues. This is first found in The Bible with the disciples taking to a large crowd of people, and all the disciples speak a different language so that everyone could understand God's message. Assemblies of God chuches believe this to be a major part of there church, SDA's certainly believe in this but do not place as much emphasis on this as they believe that everyone has gifts given to them by God, and that speaking in tongues is only one gift, and that for a church to work successfully everyone needs different gifts, e.g a body is made of many parts, but works together to be one successful body.

that is what you think but I researched this and here's from Ellen G White herself

Ellen White wrote: "Some of these persons have exercises which they call gifts and say that the Lord has placed them

in the church. They have an unmeaning gibberish which they call the unknown tongue,

which is unknown not only to man but by the Lord and all heaven.

Such gifts are manufactured by men and women, aided by the great deceiver. Fanaticism, false excitement,

false talking in tongues, and noisy exercises have been considered gifts which God has placed in the church. . . .

But the influence of such meetings is not beneficial. When the happy flight of feeling is gone,

they sink lower than before the

meeting because their happiness did not come from the right source" (Testimony for the Church, vol. 1, p. 412).

the greatest sin is to speak against the Holy Ghost .. I would think twice to follow this example

Edit: As a Pentecostal Christian, I must say something. Speaking in tongues is one of the many gifts that are given, yes. BUT AOG does not see it as a necessity. In the bible, the NIV, NLT, KJV and NKJV for example, it states the going ons of the coming of the holy spirit and of the language given BY GOD to Jesus' diciples. Note the BY GOD? Thats because only GOD can understand it, unless one has been given the GIFT by GOD to understand it. Acts 2:1-12

1 On the day of Pentecost class="footnote" value='[Answers.com;[a]all the believers were meeting together in one place. 2Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. 3 Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. 4 And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, class="footnote" value='[Answers.com;[b]as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.

5 At that time there were devout Jews from every nation living in Jerusalem. 6 When they heard the loud noise, everyone came running, and they were bewildered to hear their own languages being spoken by the believers.

7 They were completely amazed. "How can this be?" they exclaimed. "These people are all from Galilee, 8 and yet we hear them speaking in our own native languages! 9 Here we are---Parthians, Medes, Elamites, people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, the province of Asia, 10 Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, and the areas of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism), Cretans, and Arabs. And we all hear these people speaking in our own languages about the wonderful things God has done!" 12 They stood there amazed and perplexed. "What can this mean?" they asked each other.

Speaking in tonuges is the holy spirit talking through you, not some man made gibberish. And if you believe this, then you have obviously never experienced it yourself. Also, as mentioned in another post, someone said that SDA's eat no unclean meat, coupled with the sabath, and other things, does this not sound like following the laws of the Old Testament? When Jesus came and gave his life, he took upon himself, in agonising pain, all our sins and shames and gave us grace, not just so that we could do whatever we wanted and still go to heaven, but so that we may live for him and go to be with him when the day arrives. Lastly, why do you only compare to AOG christians? There are MANY MANY denominations of Pentecostal christians and yet you chose one? Bias much? If you are going to answer a question, answer it properly and fully..... Thank you

Answer 6

Several thingsFirst of all, the Seventh-day Adventist Church is a denomination. Non-denominational Christians accept basic Christian beliefs like God, the death of Christ on the cross for our sins, etc., but do not belong to any particular denomination.

Second, Seventh-day Adventists have several distinctive beliefs, but other than that, they are pretty standard evangelical Protestants.
We believe in the seventh-day Sabbath. We believe that when you die, you are dead until the second coming, not in heaven. These are a couple of the main differences.

Answer 7

SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS -- PENTECOSTALS

*believe Exodus 2- Sabbath *believe Catholics- Sunday

*do not eat unclean meats *eat anything that tastes good

*God's chosen people *Just another Protestant religion

Those are the only differences that I can think of. There are some other ways to find out though.

Anther answer

Answer 9

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:1‭-‬6‬ ‭NLT‬‬ [1] So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law. [2] Listen! I, Paul, tell you this: If you are counting on circumcision to make you right with God, then Christ will be of no benefit to you. [3] I’ll say it again. If you are trying to find favor with God by being circumcised, you must obey every regulation in the whole law of Moses. [4] For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace. [5] But we who live by the Spirit

eagerly wait to receive by faith the righteousness God has promised to us. [6] For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, there is no benefit in being circumcised or being uncircumcised. What is important is faith expressing itself in love.
