 Today the doctrine of the Investigative Judgment is widely accepted within Seventh-day Adventism, among the laity as well as clergy and scholars.The non-biblical aspects of sanctuary teaching that arose in the middle of last century which became discordant with Scriptural soteriology have been dropped, and the doctrine is comfortably viewed in the context of God's continuing work to redeem humanity.There has been criticism by non-Adventist theologians, and some progressive Adventists disagree with the doctrine of the investigative judgment as it is traditionally taught by the church.
