This church is distinguished by its observance of Saturday, the original seventh day of the Judeo-Christian week, as the Sabbath.
It grew out of the Millerite Adventist movement in 1863, and one of its key founders was the authoritative Ellen G. White. The Millerites believed that Jesus would cleanse the earth in his Second Coming in 1844. When it did not occur, they were greatly disappointed.
SDAs believe in “mortalism,” which says that after death, the soul “sleeps” and is uncomprehending between bodily death and Judgment Day resurrection. Unique to SDAs, they also adhere to investigative judgment. This means that a divine judgment has been in progress for professing Christians during their lives.
A Christian might be disqualified from salvation by failing to repent of every single sin. This seems to contradict the reformation understanding of “salvation by grace through faith alone.”
Principles for the Christian Life 
It is certainly ‘easier’ to forgive a person that repents of their wrongdoing. However, I agree that repentance is not absolutely necessary.
If one of your sons breaks your living picture window playing baseball and late that night comes to you with a contrite heart asking for forgiveness. You, as Dad, would welcome him, hug him, and tell him mistakes happen. You, as Dad, might even pay for the window, but you might have the son pay for it also to learn the value of the window.
Now if your other son breaks the window (the more rebellious one) and blows it off (and your best friend neighbor saw him do it) pretending that it didn’t happen and doesn’t tell you. How would that make you feel as Dad? How would you forgive him?
On another note, John said “Repent and believe” Interesting. You see, turning from sin is a sign of God’s power in you. We fail miserably in some area…some areas we may conquer. Believing first, then repenting makes more sense to us. What you are talking about is called “Lordship Salvation”
It amounts to ‘getting your act together’ first before God’s grace works. This speaks against a free gift, and smacks of self-righteousness.
“There is none truly righteous, no not one.” Proverbs, Psalms, and Romans. David got it from God, Solomon got it from David, and Paul quoted both of them in Romans 3.
Now we can have another conversation.
Some of the sins we hate to love are: lust, greed, adultery, lying, stealing.
All of us know they are wrong because the Bible says so for one.
We worship with other sinners everyday but we know that the sins we commit
are wrong, we are ashamed and we are endeavoring to correct them through
repentance and with the help of the Holy Spirit. This is much different than some of the issues you are talking about. Oil and water, totally different.
In 2024, there are many sins out there that are not being repented for
because the perpetrator is saying that what they do is normal, because they
say it’s normal, and nobody can tell them differently.
I say hate the sin, love the sinner, and when Jesus said, “Go and do no more”, the
person has to know that what they are doing is sinful in the first place.
Let me ask you. How does our society know what sin is?
