Quote:
To be a Seventh-day Adventist means one holds to certain established "truths".
Sabbath
Sanctuary ministry of Christ
State of the Dead
Second Coming as visible "end of world" event.
As well as the foundational truths of Christ our Savior.

The conference should have the authority to scripturally uphold those truths against any "new light" that brings confusion on those truths.

But God also made each individual with a mind and free will of their own. There will always be differences in the finer points of our doctrine.

Precisely, Dedication. We must be united in agreement of our fundamental beliefs. The rest is peripheral. While trying to find the passage Pastor Johann had mentioned, I came upon some passages related to this. One of them is the following:

We are to pray for divine enlightenment, and at the same time we should be careful about receiving everything termed new light. . . . I have been shown that it is the device of the enemy to divert minds to some obscure or unimportant point, something that is not fully revealed or is not essential to salvation. . . . We must let the principles of the third angel’s message stand out clear and distinct. The great pillars of our faith will hold all the weight that can be placed upon them.—Manuscript 82, 1894 (Review and Herald, Nov. 4, 1965). {CTr 363}

Agreed 100%. These are the pillars of our faith, and anything else is peripheral. This is what I have been "fighting" against. When I have seen how vigorously some have been fighting against such issues as the ordination of women, something EGW recommends, and then seemingly clapping themselves on the shoulder as if they think their issue is granting them a secure sign of sanctification, then I see it as my duty to show them they are going in the wrong direction.

Some honest souls are seeing the light.


"Here is a last piece of advice. If you believe in goodness and if you value the approval of God, fix your minds on the things which are holy and right and pure and beautiful and good. Model your conduct on what you have learned from me, on what I have told you and shown you, and you will find the God of peace will be with you."
