Bible Repentance: Path to Love - Robert J. Wieland

esponsible. If He, the sinless One, repented in
behalf of the sins of the whole world, surely we can
repent in behalf of the sins of our “fathers,” whose
denominational “children” we are today!
Did the 1901 Conference
Cancel the 1888 Unbelief?
Sincere members of the remnant church have
assumed that the 1901 General Conference was the
scene for an “about-face” and reformation that
undid the rejection of the 1888 message and
cancelled out its sad consequences. This view
requires the parallel assumption that the “latter
rain” and the “loud cry” have been progressing
since the 1901 Session. This is the historical basis
of the popular “all is well” school of thought.
It is true that the 1901 Session did result in
great blessings to the world-wide organization of
the church. But it is also clear that the results of
that meeting in no way show that a deep spiritual
reformation occurred that reversed the rejecting of
the beginning of the “latter rain.” Ellen G. White
