Thank you for the question. I asked my systematic theology professor the same question when I was in seminary. I knew several SDA friends who left the denomination because they felt the answer was "yes." They had never read Galatians. Once they read that it changed a lot for them. So, the question I'd ask your Adventist pastor what do they believe about Galatians 2:15-16, "We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; 16 yet we know that a person is not justified[b] by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified." According to Paul anything added to the gospel of salvation comes by grace through faith is no gospel at all. So whenever we add anything or take anything away from the gospel, we are in trouble. So, we can all drift into legalism and license. It's not just one denomination's tendency...it's all of ours.
Thank you for the message I really liked it
do you call adventist pastors legalise?
I discussed the movement #4Lincoln. What are the ways you've been able to bless those who could never repay you?
The joy of the Lord is our strength and the strength of the Lord is our joy
As Christ follower our hope and joy come from God the Father, Iesus Christ his Son.
God has done much for me, Thank you lord Jesus
