The naming of Seventh-day Advent-ism
Name identify persons and organization and also behavior sometimes.it was 152 years ago on October,1860,that the Adventist pioneers chose the name the Seventh-day Adventist for church.Even though other thought to call ourselves "church of God" because in the bible GENESIS 2:2-3 says "And on the seventh day God ended his work which He had made and he rested on the seventh day from all his which he made, Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it,because in it He rested on the day from all His work which God created and made.But other presumptuous,not to mention the fact that other churches were already using the name which possibly causes confusion between. Actually the process of choosing our denomination's name wasn't quite that simple.For several months prior to the conference held in Battle Greek, September 28-October 1,1860,where those matter were discussed and decided James White started periodical, the Advent review later that year these two paper were combined to start our official church paper,then called The Advent Review and Sabbath Heraldbut the didn't come up with solution.

Choices
Admittedly,from a practical stand point the situation was already causing confusion.The first Sabbath keeping Adventist congregation to incorporate was in park ville,Michigan,about 40 miles, south west of Battle Greek. in may 13, 1860.Because "no name has yet been decided up on by the remnant as a body" the chose to call themselves the "park ville church of Christ's second advent"later that summer the congregation in Fair-field Iowa chose "The church of the living God". Actually, a number of different names had been used various times like "church of God",The little Remnant Scattered Abroad,"The Little Remnant" or just "The Little Flock" and the "Church of Jesus Christ". J.J Loughborough recalled that sometimes the names "The Lord's people" and "Christians" were also used.Regarding confusion James White mentioned that when asked by friends to which church he was embarrassed at not being able to tell them.

A Breakthrough
As the discussion progressed James which commented that the name should be one that would be the least objectionable to the world at large.The name Seventh-day Adventists was then proposed as a simple name and one expressive of our faith and position.Apparently the change in between taking the name and calling ourselves seventh-day Adventists sufficiently satisfied those who had still had reservations about the expression taking a name based upon Revelation 14:11 to allow them to vote in favor of the new name. A few weeks later James White reported that a new church is Richmond,Iowa,incorporated, using the new name Seventh-day Adventists.From those small beginnings, the name Seventh-day Adventists is found in more than 200 countries around the world..
