include accepting Ellen G. White God’s special messenger (the expression "Spirit of Prophecy" is used to refer to both White and her writings), observance of the seventh-day Sabbath (i.e., Saturday), the "investigative judgment" (beginning in 1844), and denial of the immortality of the human soul. The SDA church is considered God’s special remnant church.

The movement has its origins in William Miller’s failed prophecies of Christ’s return (1843, 1844) and attempts to explain it. Much of Adventist theology hangs on the resulting "sanctuary doctrine." Many early Adventists, including Ellen G. White, denied the deity and sinlessness of Christ (though she and others later affirmed his deity). Serious charges of plagiarism on a vast scale have also been made against Ellen G. White.

There are well-defined theological camps within the SDA church. Those known as "historic Adventists" adhere most closely to the distinctive teachings of Ellen G. White and the founders which have traditionally characterized the church.
