7. Before long, it became necessary for the Adventists to organise formally into a new Church: the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Name the people who were the founders and the date it happened.

8. The Seventh-day Adventists in the late 1800s strongly believed that their mission was to be the bearers of the Third Angel's Message (Revelation 14:6-12) to the world so they began to do overseas missions. Name four countries the Church sent missionaries to, and what were their names?

9. There were several main ways these missionaries spread the Advent message. Name three of these methods and explain how each worked.

10. By the late 1800s, some church leaders had been teaching the "commandments of God" (Revelation 14:12) so much that they were losing sight of "the faith of Jesus" (Revelation 14:12). Because of that, some Adventists thought that salvation came by keeping God's ______________________, rather than ______________ in Jesus, His sacrifice and His righteousness.
