As an expert in religious studies, I can provide an overview of the core beliefs of Seventh-day Adventists (SDA), a Christian denomination that emerged in the mid-19th century in the United States. The SDA church is known for its emphasis on the imminent Second Coming of Jesus Christ, the importance of the Sabbath, and a commitment to healthful living. Here are some of the key tenets of the Seventh-day Adventist faith:


1. Second Coming of Christ: The most central belief of Seventh-day Adventists is the imminent return of Jesus Christ. They believe that Christ's second coming is near, and this belief shapes much of their lifestyle and mission.


2. Sabbath Observance: Unlike many Christian denominations that observe Sunday as the Sabbath, Seventh-day Adventists observe Saturday as the Sabbath, from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday, in accordance with the biblical account of creation.


3. Biblical Authority: They hold the Bible as the ultimate authority in matters of faith and practice, believing it to be free from error in the original manuscripts.


4. Salvation by Faith: Seventh-day Adventists believe in salvation through faith in Jesus Christ alone. They reject the idea of salvation by works or any other means.


5. Healthful Living: The church promotes a healthy lifestyle, including a vegetarian diet, no smoking or drinking alcohol, and regular exercise, believing that the body is a temple of the Holy Spirit.

6. **The Sanctuary and the Investigative Judgment**: Adventists believe in the concept of the heavenly sanctuary and the investigative judgment, where the character and actions of each individual are reviewed in the presence of God.

7.
State of the Dead: They believe that the dead do not immediately go to heaven or hell but await the resurrection and final judgment.

8.
Creationism: Seventh-day Adventists are generally creationists, accepting the biblical account of creation as described in Genesis.

9.
Eschatological Beliefs: They have a detailed eschatology, which includes the great controversy theme between Christ and Satan, the end times, and the ultimate destiny of the saved and the lost.

10.
Service and Mission: The church places a high value on service to others and global mission work, aiming to spread the Adventist message worldwide.

1. Ellen G. White: While not considered infallible, the writings of Ellen G. White, a co-founder of the denomination, are viewed as a source of inspired guidance and instruction.

2. Education and Stewardship: Adventists believe in the importance of education and view it as a means of service to God. They also practice good stewardship, managing their resources with a view to God's ownership of all.

Now, let's move on to the translation of the above points into Chinese.
