Your belief does not make it true. The Mormons have their prophet, and the Jehovah's Witnesses too; just as you do. But the saints of God have John the Apostle's message of the Testimony of Jesus Christ: the Revelation.

So you are here to slam on anyone who believes that Ellen White was sent by God?

I love scripture and I read it every day. I don't think I would want to be given a bible study about Revelation 12 from someone who does not respect the Spirit of Prophecy Mr Peterson.

I feel impressed by God to say it again. Why would someone who does not believe in [Ellen White] come to a website like this to deride those who do believe in [Ellen White]? That sounds like something the Catholic Church would do, send their wicked little emissaries to muddle up communications for the true remnant. If you don't believe in [Ellen White] you are not a Seventh Day Adventist so why even come here?

James, there are many who don't like Ellen White. Indicating Catholics would be the only ones is incorrect. I believe a good portion of Adventists don't like Ellen White.

SDA made one fatal mistake in 1980: they elevated the work of Ellen White to scripture (FB #18). They therefore effectively sealed themselves off into a dark corner much like the Jews did in the days of Christ when the scribes and Pharisees held great sway over the people and would throw anyone out of the synagogue for holding a different point of view.

“As the Lord has manifested himself through the Spirit of prophecy, past, present, and future have passed before me. I have been shown faces that I had never seen, and years afterward I knew them when I saw them. I have been aroused from my sleep with a vivid sense of subjects previously presented to my mind; and I have written, at midnight, letters that have gone across the continent, and, arriving at a crisis, have saved great disaster to the cause of God. This has been my work for many years. A power has impelled me to reprove and rebuke wrongs that I had not thought of. Is this work ... from above, or from beneath? ... Those who really desire to know the truth will find sufficient evidence for belief.”—Testimonies for the Church 5:671, 672. {CET 245.2}

Speaking of Adventists who don't like EGW. I once got into a BIG debate with someone who joined the SDA church through profession of faith, but had never accepted EGW in any way, shape or form.

This individual came to their position after researching websites critical of the Spirit of Prophecy. Was I wrong to have taken a positive stand of support for the validity of EGW's role?

Eventually this person left the church, partly over not wanting to be involved with a group who "worshipped" her.

While I'm not sure I was the only one who stepped on this person's toes, did I play the part of the Pharisees, who were pushing people out of the synagogue, by expessing my respect and support for the gift that, I am convinced is from God?

It is possible to be a partial, formal believer, and yet be found wanting and lose eternal life. It is possible to practice some of the Bible injunctions and be regarded as a Christian, and yet perish because you lack qualifications essential to Christian character. If you neglect or treat with indifference the warnings that God has given, if you cherish or excuse sin, you are sealing your soul’s destiny. You will be weighed in the balance and found wanting. Grace, peace, and pardon will be forever withdrawn; Jesus will have passed by, never again to come within reach of your prayers and entreaties. While mercy lingers, while the Saviour is making intercession, let us make thorough work for eternity.607 {CCh 342.4}
Satan is not asleep; he is wide awake to make of no effect the sure word of prophecy. With skill and deceptive power he is working to counterwork the expressed will of God, made plain in His word. For years Satan has been gaining control of human minds through subtle sophistries that he has devised to take the place of the truth. In this time of peril, rightdoers, in the fear of God, will glorify His name by repeating the words of David: “It is time for Thee, Lord, to work: for they have made void Thy law.” Psalm 119:126.608 {CCh 342.5}
We as a people profess to have truth in advance of every other people upon the earth. Then our life and character should be in harmony with such a faith. The day is just upon us when the righteous shall be bound like precious grain in bundles for the heavenly garner, while the wicked are, like the tares, gathered for the fires of the last great day. But the wheat and tares “grow together until the harvest.” {CCh 343.1}

The remnant people of God must be a converted people. The presentation of this message is to result in the conversion and sanctification of souls. We are to feel the power of the Spirit of God in this movement. This is a wonderful, definite message; it means everything to the receiver, and it is to be proclaimed with a loud cry. We must have a true, abiding faith that this message will go forth with increasing importance till the close of time. {CH 127.5}
There are some professed believers who accept certain portions of the Testimonies as the message of God, while they reject those portions that condemn their favorite indulgences. Such persons are working contrary to their own welfare and the welfare of the church. It is essential that we walk in the light while we have the light. Those who claim to believe in health reform, and yet work counter to its principles in the daily life practice, are hurting their own souls and are leaving wrong impressions upon the minds of believers and unbelievers. {CH 128.1}
