text: The earliest recorded set of baptismal questions (or vows if answered in the affirmative) was the Interrogatory of Hippolytus.  It is still a very good summary of what it means to be a Christian.
  
  To be an Advent Sabbatarian Christian (so as not to infringe on the various GC trademarks) we might add some "distinctives" to this early list.  These might include (in no particular order of importance):
  
  1) The Seventh Day Sabbath as a memorial of Creation (cf Genesis and Exodus), Redemption (cf Deuteronomy and the Gospels) and Restoration (cf Isaiah and Revelation).
  
  2) The literal and imminent pre-millennial return of Jesus Christ, triggering a bodily resurrection of the Saved.
  
  3) Conditional Immortality, death as a "sleep" and eventual annihilation of unrepentant fallen creatures.
  
  4) The earthly Sanctuary as a teaching metaphor for Divine activities on behalf of fallen humanity, both Earthly (in the Courtyard) and Heavenly (in the Tent).
