See also: Adventist beliefs and Adventist theology

The Loma Linda University church is a part of the worldwide Seventh-day Adventist Church from which it derives its beliefs. The Adventist Church shares many beliefs with other Protestant Christian Churches. Like other Christians, Adventist believe in Jesus as their lord and saviour. They view him as the divine Son of God; part of the trinity. Adventists believe in Protestant concept of "sola scriptura,"meaning they consider the bible the ultimate authority on matters of faith. Adventists believe God grants everyone free will and invites all to use their free will to come to Jesus for eternal life. Historically, the Adventist church has officially advocated the Genesis creation narrative; however, there is a wide variety of viewpoints within the church, including those that believe in evolution and theistic evolution. The official statement of belief regarding the subject is specifically worded to allow a variety of viewpoints. Adventists were founded through a belief in the second advent. Unlike most other Christians, Adventists hold worship services on Saturday, not Sunday.

Famous quotes containing the word beliefs:

    “Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
    —Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)

    “It is not to be forgotten that what we call rational grounds for our beliefs are often extremely irrational attempts to justify our instincts.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “Our inherent human charity and our religious beliefs will be taxed to the limit. No poor, rural, weak, or black person should ever have to bear the additional burden of being deprived of the opportunity of an education, a job, or simple justice.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
