The Near Second Advent and Denominational Growth

THE rapid growth of the work carried forward by this denomination is attracting the attention of some among the Seventh-day Baptists, and leads one writer in the Sabbath Recorder to inquire whether a comparison between the growth of the two denominations does not “suggest that we as Seventh-day Baptists are missing our opportunity not only for denominational growth, but for gaining a preparation for the coming of Christ, by rejecting this doctrine [the near second advent].” This inquiry is certainly worthy of serious consideration on the part of those who are seeking an explanation of the fact that very few people are receiving the Sabbath truth when separated from the doctrine of the near coming of Christ.
