What is it, and why does it matter? In this study we're taking a deeper dive into this uniquely Adventist doctrine that has caused both great joy and great angst among the denomination for decades. As an introduction to the topic, make sure you check out some of the articles below to fill in the gaps if you don't know that much about it.
