Seventh-day Adventism

Seventh-day Adventism confesses the Trinity and salvation by grace, yet it teaches that Christ has been reviewing the lives of professed believers since 1844 and that the Sabbath will be the final test of loyalty to God, a system that moves the weight of salvation from Christ's finished work to the believer's obedience.
