¤¤¤ 00:00:02.00\00:00:05.51 One of the 28 Fundament Beliefs of the 00:00:08.85\00:00:10.94 Seventh Day Adventist Church is the church. 00:00:10.97\00:00:14.32 The church is the community of believers who confess 00:00:14.35\00:00:18.17 Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior. 00:00:18.20\00:00:20.40 We are called out from the world and joined together 00:00:20.43\00:00:24.00 for worship, for fellowship, for instruction in the word, 00:00:24.03\00:00:27.63 for the celebration of the Lord's Supper, 00:00:27.66\00:00:30.02 and for the worldwide proclamation of the gospel. 00:00:30.05\00:00:33.29 The church derives it's authority from Christ 00:00:33.32\00:00:37.44 who is the Incarnate Word and from the scriptures 00:00:37.47\00:00:40.92 which are the written word. 00:00:40.95\00:00:42.15 The church is God's family, adopted by Him, 00:00:42.18\00:00:45.72 His children, it's members live on the basis of 00:00:45.75\00:00:48.68 the New Covenant. 00:00:48.72\00:00:50.43 The church is the body of Christ, of which Christ Himself 00:00:50.47\00:00:53.66 is the head. The church is the bride for whom Christ died, that 00:00:53.69\00:00:57.61 He might sanctify and cleanse her. At His returning triumph 00:00:57.64\00:01:02.09 He will present her to Himself a glorious church, 00:01:02.12\00:01:05.46 the faithful of all ages, the purchase of His blood, 00:01:05.49\00:01:09.23 not have spot or wrinkle, but holy and without blemish. 00:01:09.26\00:01:13.42
