Weird stuff indeed!
Here is an article about SDA and tongues. They seem to believe that tongues is just prophesying which is preaching the gospel.

The rest will get sorted out in the end.

One of my SDA friends from Barbados who came to Rhode Island to spend some time with us told me that they fellowship with the Pentecostals. He said that one of them told him, "You guys are not like the Seventh Day Adventists we've met before." Of course everyone has their differences. I have Baptists friends who also razz me about my beliefs in present day Charismata but one thing that this Baptist pastor (who used to always want to "hang out") told me, "I APPRECIATE how you see God as only good and not the author of evil."
I refuse to relinquish Christian friendship over doctrinal disputes that has nothing to do with salvation issues. If my SDA and Baptists friends don't believe in speaking in tongues I certainly am not going to stop speaking in tongues or teaching this truth, but neither will i push away those who don't.

I am happy that you have SDA friends that are followers of the true gospel. However, I have found that salvation is not just a small event in our lives that is separated from everything else. Our obedience to Christ is a manifestation of our salvation. Anyway, I am not interested in a debate about it, I am just a follower of the truth.
I find them to be an interesting group. It is hard to overlook the doctrine of Seventh-day Adventism that Satan is the “scapegoat” and will bear believers’ sins (The Great Controversy, p. 422, 485)—this is the opposite of what the Bible says about who bore our sins (1 Peter 2:24). Seventh-day Adventism also identifies Jesus as Michael the archangel (Jude 1:9, Clear Word Bible, published by Review and Herald Publishing Association, 1994)

) I told my pastor one day, "When we finally get our building built I'm going to have to find a Charismatic SDA church to go to." He was like, "Yeah, I know what you are saying." :)
That's funny because in the early 70s or so catholic churches started allowing a Saturday evening mass to fulfill their 'Sunday obligation' and a whole lotta folk were delighted and flocked to it.

Really? You're going to have to let me know the next time he does, I might just go hear him preach. :)
I was looking up some info on him and didn't realize he had written some songs too:
"Before finding fame in acting, Davis worked as a songwriter, most famously penning The Jackson 5's No. 2 hit "Never Can Say Goodbye...""
I liked this part of his bio too.
"...he made a guest appearance on the third episode of the first season of The Bobby Vinton Show in September 1975, singing "I've Got The Music In Me" and "Never Can Say Goodbye." He successfully sang the Polish lyrics with Vinton to the show's "My Melody of Love" theme song..."

I liked Isaac Hayes cover better.

There are, of course, Southern Baptists who speak in tongues, but they may not be very open about it. Believe it or not, back in the 1970's we were part of a Spirit-filled Southern Baptist Church that would make most Pentecostals look like Episcopalians. Alas, it eventually got off base doctrinally and went into the shepherding error. I well remember the look on some visitors' faces when they came expecting a typical Southern Baptist service.

At one point it seems that they were teaching that worshiping on Sunday was the mark of the beast.
The SDA is definitely hung up on the OT law. Not sure exactly where they get their strict vegitarian rules from though, when the OT law says which meats they could eat and which ones not to. Its as if they keep the parts that suit them and ignore others.
Paul pretty much addressed all their "issues" though, when he talked about esteeming days and eating meats and keeping the law.
Actually, now that I am writing this, it came to mind that if Paul were here today and wrote an epistle to them, it would look a lot like his letter to the Galatians.
