Agreed except Mary has nothing to do with it. It's the church for sure.
But what are the characteristics.....The church follows the commandments of God (all 10 including the Sabbath) and has the spirit of Prophecy (testimony of Jesus re: Rev 19:10)
So the last day church follows all ten commandments and has a big focus on prophecy aka the study of Daniel (the little book mentioned in Revelation)
Oh man, I'm just getting started :)
