SDA Issues: NOT Justified by being in the Church

Therefore being justified by faith, 

we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Romans 5:1

"Justification by faith is an individual, and not a national, matter.

Seventh-day Adventists often speak of the great light which “we as a people” possess. 

But “we as a people” will derive no benefit from that light unless we as individuals possess it in our own hearts. I repeat, justification by faith is something that each individual must experience for himself."
