Who are Seventh Day Baptists?
If you’ve never read
The Sabbath Recorder
before, you might
be wondering who Seventh Day Baptists are.
Like other Baptists, we believe in:
The Seventh Day
God commanded that the seventh day (Saturday) be kept holy.
Jesus agreed by keeping it as a day of worship. We observe the
seventh day of the week (Saturday) as God’s Holy Day as an act
of loving obedience — not as a means of salvation. Salvation is
the free gift of God through Jesus our Lord. It is the joy of the
Sabbath that makes SDBs a people with a difference.

• salvation by grace through faith in Christ Jesus.
• the Bible as the inspired word of God. The Bible is our
authority for our faith and daily conduct.
• baptism of believers, by immersion, witnessing to our
acceptance of Christ as Savior and Lord.
• freedom of thought under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
• the congregational form of church government. Every
church member has the right to participate in the
decision-making process of the church.
