I'm Seventh-day Adventist myself, but sometimes I find it hard trying to tell others about our faith. I enjoy being an SDA member and telling people about us but sometimes they try to tell me they know more about what we believe when they haven't taken the time to get to know us.

It isn't the easy from many social standpoints, but from the spiritual standpoint it is the easiest.
I am a Seventh Day Adventist also. I believe what is being taught is the most comprehensive Bible studies in perhaps any Christian church. That is what makes it easy.
There will always be someone out there who thinks they know more about everything than any one else. All I can say is keep studying and learning. One of these days you will be suprised at how much you know. I can testify that the Scripture that tells us to take no concern over what we are to say the words will be given to us when we need them.
We do not all have the same gifts of the Spirit:
................1 COR.8. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;.........
Take heart and know you will have the right words at the right time.
Edit: There is a lot of faulty information when it comes to Seventh Day Adventists. Keep an open mind and get to know some of us and you might find out we really know what we are talking about.
PS -- As a Christian, you are only doomed if you are not following all the truths you have been convicted on.

I was a SDA for 6-1/2years; til (2Tim.1:9)God called me into his church(Acts 20:28) which is LCG.
Is it hard telling others about the SDA faith; I believe the hardest is the Sabbath Day Saturday and the clean and unclean meats; the others are easy like death is a sleep. Other than that; the rest of your faith comes from the (Rev.17:5)Catholic; it it easy because most believe the same way like you. You can be easily tricked in thinking that it's truth, but if you reach deeper--you will find that it isn't truth. If you are truly obeying God and his will; he will show you more truth. I've seen the SDA church counterdict the word as some SDA's disobeying the word; I was so confused, so I asked God what to do. As being in my new belief; I find it hard to tell others, but some do hear. It takes time and patience and alot of research.

I hope you do a deeper study and prove everything in the Bible because 1Thess.5:21 says "To prove all things". Yes, you might have some truths(1Cor.3:1-3 = milk), but God wants us to do all of his truth; not 1/4 or 1/2, but all(John 16:13)! There are always two sides of an issue; the truth and the false. You already know the false church which "changed God's Law"(Dan.7:25); the same church also "casted all the truth to the ground(Dan.8:12)."

I hope you don't get your clothes on fire because one of my friends
was in that Religion and he got third degree burns on his left hip and
leg and his mother and daddy would not carry him to a doctor .He lade
on their couch in pain until someone told the authorities and they took him to the hospital where he got help.That was when he was nine or ten
years old. He now is Born of God and looking forward to his new body.
I don't know how long you have been a SDA but I would check a little deeper if I were you.
In Christ in LOve,

I expect so.
Keeping the old Lavitical Laws that Jesus liberated us from seems the most incongruous.
I was also told that if one is not a member of the 7th Day they are DOOMED. Never did get that confirmed.

Oh, yeah! I used to work with a lady who was. She spent all night cleaning the crumbs out of her couch because she had to cleanse all her sins... as in sins being dirty... literally.

Of course it isn't easy. Did Jesus tell the disciples that following Him was going to be easy?
