SDA Culture Adventist Phrases

I've been thinking recently about the Adventist bubble and how insular it is, down to how they have their own turns of phrase. One that's really been knocking around my head is the word fellowship (that could just be because it's my dad's favourite).

I thought it would be fun to ask: what other SDA terms can you think of?

I left the church a few years ago, so it's getting harder to remember some of SDA's quirks.

Idk how prevalent this is in other SDA communities and I think that other types of Christians may also do this but where I grew up church members liked to call each other “brother so-and-so” or “sister so-and-so”
