Pentecostal Preaching, No Dress Codes, Drumming, Screaming, and Dancing have Invaded Adventism, Signaling that Probation is about to Close
On Sabbath, June 10, 2023, Seventh-day Adventist Pastor Greg Nelson, who serves in the Northeastern Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, preached at the First University Seventh-day Adventist Church in Tampa, Florida. Also in attendance was Pastor Pierre François, the Executive Secretary for the Southeastern Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. During the worship service, there was screaming, drumming, dancing, and Pentecostal preaching. Pastor Greg Nelson was also dressed down in ripped jeans and Air Jordan 4 Retro tennis shoes as he told the congregation not to be Pharisaical by passing judgment on him. Instead, he urged the congregation to follow him.
These days, Seventh-day Adventist churches are increasingly catering to worship services that reject how God has defined what worship should be like. It is evolving into a purely entertaining activity. Drumming and dancing were never part of Adventism. They originated during the Holiness Church Movement of the late 19th Century. This movement was part of the wider outbreak of Pentecostalism and was characterized by lively music, drums, dancing, clapping, shouting, shrieking, and speaking in tongues.
Because of Ellen White's counsel regarding the loud drumming, music, shouting, and dancing that tried to make their way into Adventism both in 1844 and in 1900, this type of worship was rejected. For the past century, we have stayed away from Pentecostal-type worship. Unfortunately, under the Omega of Apostasy, we are told that "Our religion would be changed ... Nothing would be allowed to stand in the way of the new movement" (1SM 204). Despite the clear instructions on how we are to worship God, the majority of church members today defend what is happening. What we are currently witnessing is the normalization of Pentecostalism, the devil's counterfeit, within the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Pope Leo XIV to Ecumenical Leaders: "We Are One, Let's Make It Visible"
Ecumenism is indeed fulfilling prophecy-but not the prophecy God calls His people to advance or embrace. The world is being drawn into a single religious and political body, as revealed by Scripture: "And all the world wondered after the beast" (Revelation 13:3). This is not a revival of godliness; it is universal apostasy-a global movement that, under the appearance of unity, peace, and love, is leading people away from Bible…
