Seventh-Day Adventism and the remnant idea : a critical and analytical study of the Seventh-Day Adventist ecclesiological self understandingHachalinga, Passmore 11 1900 (has links)
Adventists hold various views with regard to their understanding of themselves as a church. They view
themselves as the last remnant church of God today. They also believe that they are a part of the general
Christendom. Adventists acknowledge the presence of sincere Christians in other churches. In this study,
the background to twentieth century Christian ecclesiological self-understanding is examined. The origins
and development of the Seventh-day Adventist ecclesiological self-understanding, especially as it relates to
the remnant idea is examined.
Three different types of the remnant namely historical, faithful and eschatological can be identified.
Biblical images/models used in the development of ecclesiology agree with the biblical understanding and
application of the remnant idea to God's people. The remnant idea is not limited in its application to
organizational entities. Seventh-day Adventists should adopt an open, inclusive and universal view of the
remnant concept. / Theology / Philosophy, Practical & Systematic Theology / Th. M. (Systematic Theology)
