Eternal Gospel Church

The group may be best known for its controversial advertising on billboards and newspapers, such as a two-page spread in USA TODAY entitled "Earth's Final Warning" in 1999.

[1] Entitled "Earth's Final Warning," the newspaper ads named the Roman Catholic Church as the Whore of Revelation, and criticized the Papacy for its role in instigating the observance of Sunday as a holy day in place of the seventh-day Sabbath.

[9][10] The complaints prompted apologies from various newspaper publishers and an official statement by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which soon after initiated legal proceedings against Pastor Rafael Perez for federal trademark infringement.

[13][14] Similar criticism was levied against the Eternal Gospel Church in regards to its concession to relinquish the name "Seventh-day Adventist" as part of the settlement agreement.

[17] The Eternal Gospel Church considers themselves a revival ministry, calling for a return to certain Historic Adventist doctrines and the foundational principles of the Great Second Advent Movement.
