Walter Martin used Questions on Doctrine to completely rewrite his warning about Seventh-day Adventism. In his 1960 book, The Truth About Seventh-day Adventism, Martin classified them as a Christian denomination. This new position, which viewed Adventism as evangelical rather than as a cult, subsequently appeared in Martinâs influential book The Kingdom of the Cults, which was first published in 1965 and which has been reprinted dozens of times since.

 Having accomplished their purpose, the Adventists let Questions on Doctrine go out of print. In 1988 they replaced it with an even more watered-down version titled Seventh-day Adventists Believe·A Biblical Exposition of 27 Fundamental Doctrines.

The Adventist denomination is much the same heretical entity that was so plainly and firmly condemned by Bible-believing churches in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Its denial of Hell and its exaltation of ãprophetessä Ellen White alone would require that we reject it. It is the Bible-believing churches that have changed. Popular Evangelicalism today has become too blind to discern truth from error and too weak to condemn error when it is found. Just a few decades ago men such as A. Hoekema, John R. Rice, and M.R. DeHaan, who considered Seventh-day Adventism a dangerous false group, were in the overwhelming majority among those who professed to be evangelical Bible-believing preachers. This is not so today. Most major Evangelical publishing houses, for example, will no longer publish material derogatory toward Adventism or Catholicism.

The doctrine of the Trinity aside, this change has come not because Adventism has moved closer to the Bible in the past 50 years, but because Evangelicals have moved farther away from it.
