You haven't mentioned the most serious error--their belief in extra-biblical revelation, primarily through their prophetess, Ellen G. White. "As the Lord's messenger, her writings are a continuing and authoritative source of truth and provide for the church comfort, guidance, instruction, and correction." SDA official statement, emphasis mine.
So, how many errors do you want? Besides those you mentioned:
1. Christ's atonement is incomplete. He entered the Most Holy Place in 1844 to start completing the atonement.
2. "... as the books of record are opened in the judgment, the lives of all who have believed on Jesus come in review before God. ... When any have sins remaining upon the books of record, unrepented of and unforgiven, their names will be blotted out of the book of life,..." The Great Controversy p. 483.
3. "It was seen, also, that while the sin offering pointed to Christ as a sacrifice, and the high priest represented Christ as a mediator, the scapegoat typified Satan, the author of sin, upon whom the sins of the truly penitent will finally be placed." The Great Controversy p. 422.
4. "Those who are living upon the earth when the intercession of Christ shall cease in the sanctuary above are to stand in the sight of a holy God without a mediator" The Great Controversy p. 425. To clarify--this isn't talking about those left after a "rapture." They believe that all of them who are alive when Jesus comes must be sinless to be saved.
5. Obviously, then, they teach that Christians can live sinless lives.
6. They teach that unbelievers, Satan, and the fallen angels will be annihilated (as do Russelites (JW's)). Satan bears the believers' sins away at that time (#3 above).
7. Like the Russelites, they believe that Jesus is Michael the Archangel, but, unlike the Russelites, they are Trinitarian(?) and believe the three Persons of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit make up the Godhead. James White, E.G. White's husband and an early leader of the movement, was Arian, as was Uriah Smith, another early leader. Both these men's books are still circulated by the SDA.
8. They believe they are the only true church. All other Protestant churches are apostate.
9. They believe that worshiping on Sunday is the "mark of the beast" spoken of in Revelation.
That should do for starters.
