The Adventist Church grew out of two foundations. Which are they?

The validity of the Scriptures and the hope of Jesus' imminent return

Two beliefs lie at the root of Adventist history: Scripture as the ultimate authority for faith and practice, and the hopeful expectation that Jesus would return soon. In the Millerite movement of the 1830s–1840s, Bible prophecy was read as pointing to an imminent Second Coming, so the Bible guided what believers taught and did. When the anticipated event didn’t occur in 1844, the movement reorganized but kept these two foundations: the Bible as the standard of truth and the conviction that Christ would soon return. The other options mix in ideas—relying on tradition and a long-term millennium, the social gospel with scientific progress, or political power with Rome—that don’t align with how early Adventists understood their movement.

The authority of church tradition and a long-term millennium
