The SDA church is a "cult", just as are Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons, for the basic reason that all three teach that they are GOD's only true christian church on the planet, and given such, only SDAs are true christians, and "salvation" is granted only to SDAs. In other words, a "christian cult" is simply a professed christian group that places itself as a "hurdle" in the direct relationship which mankind's Savior, Jesus Christ, offered to each individual person.

I could care less that some SDA "negotiator" is able to hoodwink Walter Martin, Sheldon Sorge, or any other Christian "representative" who is so anxious to extent the hand of christian fellowship that they embrace a hand with the proverbial assassin's knife hidden up their sleeve.

Anyone who has done any homework whatsoever on the SDA church knows that SDAs teach that "seventh-day" worship is the single identifying factor in the "true" versus "false" christian religion question. SDAs teach that "first-day" or Sunday worshipers are the "false christians" to whom Jesus will one day say "I never knew you." SDAs teach that "first-day" or Sunday worship is the "mark of the beast" prophesied in the book of Revelation.

The SDA church also teaches that Ellen White was a true Prophet raised up directly by GOD to deliver new "revelations" to the christian church in the end-times. Professed Christians who reject her message are rejecting GOD's Prophet and message. Like the writings of past Jehovah's Witnesses leaders which have been proven wrong by time, when Ellen White's writings are proven wrong, the SDAs pull out the card which says White's writings are not equal to scripture. Yet, their actual practice is to treat her writings as such as much and often as possible.

Mormons run television commercials promoting and even offering free copies of the KJV, yet everyone knows that Mormons believe that the text of the KJV (and all other current translations) is corrupt, and they accept the KJV only to the extent that it does not conflict with the Book of Mormon and LDS teachings.

The Jehovah's Witnesses, which evolved out of the William Miller Movement just like the SDA church, also proclaim that the Bible is their only creed, while in practice their creed is actually the Watchtower Society's interpretation of such. The Watchtower Society even produced their own mis-translation to make sure of that reality.

How many times did Jesus Christ specifically warn his followers not to be deceived by false prophets and false messiahs who professed to bring new revelations to the christian church?
