  • I'm finally a Christian!

    Since my earliest years, I have questioned the tenets of Adventism and was never able to receive any answer Other than "because sister White said so." It's very telling that even as a child I knew that there was something wrong. In my 20s I really started to ask "what if we are not God's remnant church?" Now I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that Adventism is deeply flawed and is born out of demonic doctrines. Thank you for liberating me at the age when of 50. I am now 53 and have gone back to... more

  • Thankful and blessed

    I am not one for writing reviews, but because I find Colleen and Nikki to be such a blessing, especially in all of the research they put into their podcast. I am a former Adventist and am now a born again Christian. I thought it would bother me to have to revisit Adventist doctrines and beliefs, but it has not. I find comfort in the truth of God’s word and how Nikki and Colleen reveal the truth.

  • Former Adventist here

    The Spirit of Prophecy was not a joke. These ladies were not playing and made it very clear the quotes in question. I can relate to many of the questions they present along with the Journey of stepping away from Adventism i personally believe God pulled me from the Adventist church. It has been amazing! I went to Adventist school for all my education and ultimately got my Doctorate in Dentistry from the Adventist Dental school in California. THANK YOU FOR THIS PODCAST!

Q: What did you think it meant to have a sin nature as an Adventist, and how did that change after being born again?

Adventist: You Must Be Born Again, with Guest Richard Tinker | 367
Q: Could you talk to us a little bit about how you explained what Jesus said to Nicodemus when he said that which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the spirit is spirit?
The hosts discuss that humans have both a fleshly and a spiritual nature, and that being born again involves receiving a new life through faith in Jesus and the Holy Spirit, not simply reforming behavior. They emphasize distinguishing flesh from spirit and the need for a spiritual birth tied to trust in Christ.
