Chapter 22 The Unpardonable Sin in SDA History The expression remnant church does not appear in the Bible. However, the concept of a church, symbolically represented as a "woman," that is associated with "the remnant," does appear in Scripture (see Revelation 12:17). The expression remnant church also appears explicitly some seventy times on the E. G. White CD-ROM. We believe the Seventh- day Adventist Church is the "remnant church" of Bible prophecy. This does not mean that Seventh-day Adventists are the only genuine Christians. Today, God's people are scattered about in all of the various denominations. Jesus recognized this in principle even during His time on earth. He said, "Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd" (John 10:16). The "remnant church," is the seventh or last church brought to view in the prophecies of the book of Revelation. No eighth church is mentioned. Therefore, we conclude that the Seventh-day Adventist Church is the endtime church, and it will respond to the counsel of the True Witness. She will repent and be finally victorious before Jesus comes. The message to Laodicea is believed to be addressed to the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and implicit in the call to "repent" is the thought that the church is imperfect. One might, however, be surprised to learn the extent to which some, even among the leadership of the church, have erred. However, the Spirit of Prophecy repeatedly refers to the period of time immediately following the 1888 General Conference session as a time of very grievous error. In studying church history as described in the Spirit of Prophecy, we find that over and over again, the servant of the Lord speaks of the unpardonable sin in connection with Seventh-day Adventist Church history. She speaks of it specifically in connection with the persistent resistance which was 147
manifested against "a most precious message"[1] which came to "us" at that time. Now, I tell you, God will not be trifled with. God is a jealous God, and when He manifests His power as He has manifested it, it is very nigh unto the sin of the Holy Ghost to disbelieve it. The revealings of God's power have not had any effect to move and to stir persons from their position of doubting and unbelief. God help us that we may remove ourselves out of the snares of the devil! If ever a people needed to be removed, it is those that took their position in Minneapolis at that time on the wrong side.[2] These testimonies of the Spirit of God, the fruits of the Spirit of God, have no weight unless they are stamped with your ideas of the law in Galatians. I am afraid of you and I am afraid of your interpretation of any scripture which has revealed itself in such an unchristlike spirit as you have manifested and has cost me so much unnecessary labor. If you are such very cautious men and so very critical lest you shall receive something not in accordance with the Scriptures, I want your minds to look on these things in the true light. Let your caution be exercised in the line of fear lest you are committing the sin against the Holy Ghost. Have your critical minds taken this view of the subject? I say if your views on the law in Galatians, and the fruits, are of the character I have seen in Minneapolis and ever since up to this time, my prayer is that I may be as far from your understanding and interpretation of the Scriptures as it is possible for me to be.[3] That one can find stronger words of solemn warning in all the writings of Ellen White, than those relating to the resistance manifested against the "most precious message,"[4] is doubtful. Not only do they reveal the danger of committing the unpardonable sin, they also reveal that there were "some" who committed that sin. Some went "too far to return and to repent."[5] The "stand" taken at Minneapolis "proved their ruin."[6] 148
