This position page is written from the viewpoint of a transitioning Adventist. It explains why the Seventh-day Adventist teaching of the "Remnant Church" is unbiblical, arrogant and a sin against the Body of Christ.

Remnant Church
I have felt ever since I was a child that the Adventist definition of the remnant is arrogant. Adventism's traditional position regarding the remnant is spiritually arrogant and highly cultic. When you boil it all down, the bottom line is that Seventh-day Adventists believe they have the remnant message for the last days. They're calling all other Christians to 'leave Babylon and join us, God's true church.'

In its traditional belief on the remnant, they've positioned themselves as the Noah's ark of the end times. Many Adventist theologians don't believe this, yet it remains part of Adventist heritage. Unfortunately many Adventists still hold to this position.

I believe Scripture reveals this teaching is sin against the rest of the Body of Christ. It isn't biblical. We can say we're the remnant, but we can't say for sure that we're saved. The remnant will never call themselves 'remnant.' God gives that name from his vantage point. We sin against the Body of Christ by claiming to be the remnant.
