Abstract

The Seventh-day Adventist Church is no longer a young denomination within the large family of Christian churches. It has been one hundred and sixty years since the organization of our General Conference and many things have changed since the time of our pioneers. We have grown from a “little flock” of a few hundred believers in the northeastern part of the United States to an international community of close to twenty-five million members. Along with the numerical growth we have also experienced many doctrinal developments in our teachings. Our doctrines of the sanctuary and of salvation have changed since the time of Joseph Bates and James White, and at the same time, they have changed our church. This article explores the changes to these doctrines and how these changes have affected our ecclesial developments. No denomination’s teachings remain static and change over time, from one generation to the next. This article highlights some factors that have influenced this doctrinal development and will likely continue to influence changes in the future.
