One of the most deadly false religions is Seventh-day Adventism (SDA). I recently witnessed to a Seventh-day Adventist gentleman, and afterwards I asked him if he had ever heard of the “New World Order” (NWO). I asked him this because I know that SDA is totally supportive of the NWO. He replied that he hadn't heard of it. As I began to divulge the horrifying truth to him—the truth that SDA is a part of the demonic NWO—he quickly departed.
Take a look at the SDA symbols to the left and right. Notice the creepy All Seeing Eye of Horus, and The Great Pyramid. These are common symbols used by Luciferian occultists to identify who is supportive of the Beast system of the soon to come Antichrist. Anytime that you see these symbols, often cleverly hidden in business, government, church and organization logos, you know they are a part of the now forming Luciferian World Government, aka, the New World Order. These symbols are used extensively by Hollywood and the Satanic music industry, including Contemporary Christian Music (CCM).
False Prophetess Ellen G. White
There was a heretical woman who lived in the 19th century into the 20th century, whose name was Ellen G. White (1827-1915). I wrote an article exposing the false Gospel of SDA, and in the article I share some bizarre claims made by Miss White. White openly denied Jesus' deity, but SDA's today claim to believe in Christ's deity. So they continually grasp for straws, trying to find any inference in Ellen White's writings that may indicate that she believed in Christ's deity after all (i.e., that Jesus is almighty God). The hard fact is that Ellen G. White denied Christ's deity. It is creepy that Seventh-day Adventism idolizes a woman; namely, Ellen Gould White. They profess not to elevate her writings as being equal with the Scriptures, and yet, as Roman Catholics worship Mary, so do SDA's continually quote White's writings as if the divine Word of God. Admittedly, SDA's view Ellen White's writings as the “VOICE OF GOD!”When I witnessed to the SDA man I mentioned earlier, he asked me if I had ever read “Steps To Christ.” I knew the book was authored by Ellen White, but I wanted to see his reaction when I mentioned her name. I said, “You mean the book written by Ellen G. White?” He seemed a bit startled at first that I knew her name, but he acknowledge that she is the author. It is telling that he didn't mention the Word of God; but rather, he asked me if I had read Ellen White's writings. That really pathetic. Kindly, it shows that he is brainwashed by SDA. I have a copy of “Steps To Christ” in front of me, and I am going to share with you a quote from Ellen White's chapter titled, “REPENTANCE” . . .
“Repentance includes sorrow for sin and a turning away from it. We shall not renounce sin unless we see its sinfulness; until we turn away from it in heart, there will be no real change in the life.”
SOURCE: Ellen G. White, 'Steps To Christ,' pp. 23-24.What you just read is heresy. It is the Holy Spirit of God that produces changes in a believer's life, and not a mandatory change of heart to be saved. I'm tired of hearing false teachers say that you must have a change of heart toward sin to be saved. In effect, they are teaching that there can be no regeneration (being born-again) until there has first been reformation (a changed life). That is backwards! The Bible teaches that there can be no reformation until there has been regeneration (the new birth). To require a change heart for salvation is religion, and does NOT produce the new birth. Tragically, all across America, Independent Baptist Pastors are teaching exactly what Ellen G. White taught.
Ellen White says that a person's life will never change unless they have a change of heart, which she understands to be the meaning of repentance for salvation. The truth is that there are different meanings of repentance in the Bible. The word “repent” (metanoia or metanoeo) concerning salvation simply means “a change of mind.” Even Wikipedia.org gets it right, teaching the truth that METANOIA means to change one's mind. This has nothing to do with changing one's behavior, life or heart. It is wrong to add to this simple meaning, saying that repentance must include a change of attitude toward one's sins, and a forsaking of sinful behavior. Ellen White is teaching the heresy of Lordship Salvation.
If this subject is confusing to you, I encourage you to study the Biblical teaching that eternal life is a “free gift.” A gift cannot be earned, deserved, qualified or merited to receive it. Salvation is a take proposition, not a give proposition. If you understand the true meaning of a gift, then you can clearly see what is wrong with Lordship Salvation (which is exactly what Ellen White is teaching).
Also, I encourage you to study the Biblical doctrine of “IMPUTATION,” that is, we are saved by God righteousness which is imputed to the believer at salvation.
You need to understand that SDA's attribute “VISIONS” to Ellen G. White, which they believe qualify her as some sort of spiritual tour guide from God. Here's a quote from the SDA magazine, “Signs Of The Times,” page 11:
“While studying and praying with friends in Portland, Ellen went into a vision. God showed her that the Advent believers were on a difficult and sometimes discouraging path, but one that, if followed faithfully, would take them to the kingdom of Heaven. That was followed shortly by another vision, in which she was asked to tell others what God was telling her.”
SOURCE: Who are the Adventists?, “Truth Matters: Signs Of The Times” magazine, page 11.My friend, that is satanic! The Bible plainly teaches in Hebrews 1:1-2 that God DOES NOT COMMUNICATE TODAY THROUGH VISIONS, as He did to many people in the Old Testament. Hebrews 1:1-2, “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.” Jesus is the Living Word, and the Bible is the Written Word (John 1:1-3,14; Revelation 19:13). We learn about the Living Word through the revealed Written Word. If anyone tells you that God has given them a message or vision to share with others, you know automatically that THEY ARE LYING. False prophetess Ellen G. White is a LIAR of LIARS!!
Here's another quote from the same issue of “Signs Of The Times,” page 15:
“Seventh-day Adventists believe that God worked through her [Ellen White] in a singular way to clarify and emphasize the Bible's message about Jesus' return.”
SOURCE: Who are the Adventists?, “Truth Matters: Signs Of The Times” magazine, page 15.God doesn't clarify His Word through prophets. The Holy Bible speaks for itself. It is prophets who are clarified, whose words are justified or condemned, whether they agree with God's written Word or not. SDA's violate the Holy Scriptures by recognizing their alleged prophetess, Ellen G. White, as a “VOICE” from God. It is blatant heresy. Jesus plainly said in Mark 7:9, “And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.” This indictment applies to Seventh-day Adventism 100%. Their exclusive doctrine of Investigative Judgment is totally unbiblical, concocted only by SDA's. I've noticed that SDA's try to avoid talking about this doctrine in public magazines, because it makes it much easier to expose them as a satanic religion cult. Hebrews 13:9a, “Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines.”
Jesus Christ Is Our Sabbath Day Today, In Whom We Rest For Salvation
SDA's don't like Baptists, not at all. In fact, according to SDA dogma, Baptists are part of Satan's Antichrist system, because they attend church on Sunday instead of Saturday. The truth is that there is no Sabbath Day today. Even Pastor Dwight L. Moody (1837-1899) in Chicago believed that the Sabbath Day is still a command of God in effect today. Mr. Moody was a great preacher and man of God, but he was wrong about the Sabbath Day. Colossians 2:16-17, “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.” The Sabbath Day was a ceremonial law, which applied only to Old Testament Israel in Palestine.The Sabbath was nailed to the cross with Jesus (Colossians 2:14). Today, Jesus is our Sabbath, in Whom we completely rest for salvation. This is 100% Biblical, as evidenced in Hebrews 4:10-11, “For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.” We are saved by ceasing from our own self-righteous human efforts, and instead completely resting in Christ's death upon the cross for our sins, His burial, and His bodily resurrection three days later (1st Corinthians 15:1-4). John 6:28-29, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.”
SDA's worship the Sabbath Day on Saturday, committing idolatry. Everything in Seventh-day Adventism centers around the Sabbath, the Sabbath, the Sabbath, the Sabbath, the Sabbath, the Sabbath, the Sabbath; yet Colossians 2:14-17 plainly states, “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross. And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.”
The Sabbath Day was a ceremonial law (not moral law as the other nine commandments in Exodus 20). Whereas moral laws are in effect 24/7 every day of the year, the Sabbath Day was a ceremonial law only in effect one day a week. Hebrews 10:1, “For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.”
Ellen G. White Teaches The Heresy Of Lordship Salvation
One of Satan's most effective weapons is the HALF-TRUTH!!! SDA's DON'T teach salvation by grace!!! I know they claim to believe that salvation is by grace, but they also require a changed heart to be saved, and as I evidenced to you earlier by Ellen White's own words, she says you have to turn away from sinful behavior to be saved. One of the best sermons I've heard exposing the falsehood of “turning away from sins” to be saved is the MP3 sermon by Dr. Ralph Yankee Arnold titled, 'Caught Between Grace And Works.' Turning away from sinful behavior is a self-righteous work. It is wrong to add the unbiblical requirement to forsake the world and sins to be saved. This heresy has crept into most churches today, falsely teaching that God won't save a person unless they intend not to continue living in sin.The following quote from Miss White's book, “Steps To Christ,” evidences that she teaches Lordship Salvation (which is a works-based false plan of salvation)...
“That so-called faith in Christ which professes to release men from the obligation of obedience to God, is not faith, but presumption. 'By grace are ye saved through faith.' But 'faith, if it hath not works, is dead.'”
SOURCE: Ellen G. White, 'Steps To Christ,' p. 61.So “faith” according to Ellen White is not simply trusting the Gospel to be saved. In addition, Miss White teaches that faith encompasses all of the obligations of living the Christian life. Starting to get the picture? Sadly, this is the same junk theology being taught today to thousands of misguided students at corrupt institutions like Bob Jones University. Satan's greatest weapon is to con people into living the Christian life without ever being born-again!!! Religious people have been splitting Hell wide open since the beginning of the human race. Satan deceives people by giving them substitutes for the Gospel. Have you been deceived?
