 Values and Beliefs
 Catholicism, Protestantism, Orthodoxy, Seventh-day Adventist.
 For Catholicism their main belief is Praying to the Saints and the rosary, also the Virgin Mary. And
for Protestants, they reject the Roman Catholic Church's doctrine that it is the one true church,
believing in the invisible church, which consists of all who profess faith in Jesus Christ. For
Orthodoxy, Orthodox Church shares much with the other Christian Churches in the belief
that God revealed himself in Jesus Christ, and a belief in the incarnation of Christ, his crucifixion
and resurrection. The Orthodox Church differs substantially in the way of life and worship. And
finally for Seventh-day Adventist, 5 Beliefs That Set Seventh-Day Adventists Apart From Other
Protestant Christians. Seventh-day Adventism (SDA) follows most of the beliefs of conventional
conservative Christianity including creation in six days, original sin, the virgin birth of Jesus Christ
and the existence of Satan, just to name a few.
