There is a very interesting chart printed by a site appealing to Christian unity, meaning, not a unity in doctrines or teachings of the content of the Bible [narrow canon] but just the opposite, a unity of all faiths in an ecumenical setting.

 

It is interesting that they wish you to accept that those over you in your church has the authority to decide for you to be locked up in an ecumenical decision arranged by Christians of all churches and binding on all Christians including yourself.

 

If your answer does not satisfy the chart flow, you land in the side and are asked to read a verse from the Bible.

Adventists will do a lot of Bible reading in this chart and that is the way the content of the Bible leads us as well.

 

An interesting point here is that what is required from the believer is not faith but submission to a higher earthly administrative power that will decides the fate of the believer. The central role of the content of the Bible [narrow canon] has no space here.

 

Beginners in Adventism will soon learn that Seventh Day Adventism are not in favor of interfaith conferences and meetings, especially those designed for the sake of ecumenical agendas. There is one Christ, one door, one faith, one baptism, one Sabbath and one can go on with many other doctrines embedded throughout Scriptures. What needs to be set aside is not personal feelings of prejudice but the epistemological reality of misunderstandings of the interpretation of Scripture and plain reading of Scripture [in the narrow sense of the canon].
