“God has raised up the Seventh-day Adventist church for a special mission in these last days of earth’s history. Our purpose is to not just share a message of forgiveness that saves people. There are many beautiful Christian people in all churches that will be saved.

There is something about the last message to be given to the world that does more than present God’s forgiveness and save people. God meant for the Seventh-Day Adventist church to present not only a message of God’s forgiveness, but a message of God ‘blotting out sin,’ in relation to Christ’s righteousness, that a people could stand alive in the presence of the ‘consuming fire,’ and thus be ready for the second coming.

Many have lost sight of why we exist today as a church, and what our special mission is. Many believe that we were raised up to share about the Sabbath, the state of the dead, and the 2300 day prophecy (only as it points to the idea that we are living in the last days). Yet, have we understood, and do we include, how the 2300 day prophecy relates to God’s need of preparing a last generation that is ‘cleansed’ from all sin? If not, why not?” (Debbi Puffer, Earth’s Final Generation, 2011, p.70-71)
