Seventh-day Adventism—The Spirit Behind the Church

Chapter 2—Seventh-day Adventists depend on Ellen G. White for their teachings. She is “the last word on doctrine.”

Answer:

The church’s statement of “27 Fundamental Beliefs” cites the Scriptures, not Ellen White, for each of its beliefs. In the book Seventh-day Adventists Believe ... the church’s beliefs are presented and explained in the context of the Scriptures, not Ellen White. Neither Ellen White nor the church has ever taught that she was the last word on doctrine. SDASBC 3.1
