“The discussions in the 1970’s and 80’s regarding perfection and justification by faith produced a mental shift in the minds of Adventist leaders in the United States, Australia, and Europe. As a result, at the beginning of the twenty first century, the Adventist message is no longer the imminent return of Jesus Christ but the proclamation of the salvation Christ obtained at the cross (justification by faith). At the same time, subtle changes in the liturgy of Sabbath worship, primarily in the areas of music and more subtly in the preaching, reveal an opening to secular culture, and a withdrawing from the Word of God. These tendencies have produced a growing conviction among Adventist leaders and believers that lifestyle is not related with salvation. In other words, it is assumed that salvation and the way I live my life are not the same thing, but two completely different realities that relate only externally.” (Fernando Canale, Secular Adventism, 14)
