“We need to realize that the Holy Spirit, WHO IS AS MUCH A PERSON AS GOD IS A PERSON, IS WALKING THROUGH THESE GROUNDS, UNSEEN BY HUMAN EYES; … HE HEARS EVERY WORD WE UTTER and knows every thought of the mind.” — (E.G. White, 2SAT, pp. 136, 137, 1899)

An on-going compilations of the Spirit of Prophecy statements identifying the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of Christ.
What did John mean, in 1 John 4:2, 3; when he said, “Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God”? Is John merely affirming Jesus’ incarnation in that
The expression, “In Him was life, original, unborrowed, underived“ is commonly used to argue that the life of Christ is ingenerate and therefore not begotten. But is this true?
Much is being said regarding the impartation of the Holy Spirit that is wholly divorced from the Word of God. And by some, this is being so interpreted that it causes injury to the churches and to the individual believer. Many regard the impartation of the Holy Spirit as some mystical concept of a formless Divine Being, who occupies all space and by way of consent can literally come into the believers’ hearts…
Some (primarily coming from non-trinitarian Seventh-day Adventist community) suspect that there has been a deliberate and sinister plot perpetrated by the Ellen White Estate to alter the writings of Ellen White in an attempt to make her writings appear more inline with the church’s current theology, namely, the Trinitarian belief.
The following article was in response to an enquiry asitreads.com received through its Contact, asking, Does Ellen White indicate that Jesus is “the one true God” in 6T 311.1? “…I was a heathen in heathen lands. You left your friends and comfortable home, and came to teach me how to find JESUS and believe in him AS THE ONLY TRUE GOD…”
“The Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of the Father, is truly God in infinity, BUT NOT IN PERSONALITY.” — (E.G. White, MS116, December 19, 1905) (emphasis in caps added throughout)
What did Ellen White mean when she said, Christ “is truly God in infinity, BUT NOT IN PERSONALITY.”?
Ellen White published “three living persons” twice in 1906. One was in a periodical (The Bible Training School) and the other in a pamphlet (Testimonies for the Church Containing Messages of Warning and Instruction to Seventh-day Adventists) and four times in subsequent publications. She never published “three living personalities”. People today are trying to act as if she did not control her own 1906 publications and are promoting a conspiracy theory that the “three living persons” quote is a corruption. Their theory has no credibility and the evidence is against them.
This article re-examines the personhood and the identity of the Holy Spirit which often been portrayed by the use of the noted statement, “The Holy Spirit is the Comforter, in Christ’s name. HE PERSONIFIES CHRIST, YET IS A DISTINCT PERSONALITY. We may have the Holy Spirit if we ask for it and make it [a] habit to turn to and trust in God rather than in any finite human agent who may make mistakes. {20MR 324.2}
“One God” according to Seventh-day Adventists The Seventh-day Adventist 28 Fundamental Beliefs No. 2 states, “There is one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a unity of three co-eternal Persons. God
John 6:57 “As the living Father hath sent me, and I LIVE BY THE FATHER: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. I have heard some non-Trinitarians tell me that John 6:57 is referring to how Christ’s life is always dependent on the Father whether we are talking about his pre-incarnate life or His incarnate life. But is this true?
If the Holy Spirit is really a co-equal, co-eternal personal “being” just like the Father and the Son as Trinitarians claim, then you need to reconcile why the mention of the Holy Spirit “Being” is conspicuously omitted in all of these following statements. If you’re honest with yourself, please check out these statements and consider whether you have a balanced view with respect to your theology that can fit these statements:
Did Christ’s really die? Was it only his human nature that died but divinity did not die? Who raised Christ from the dead? Did Christ raise Himself or did God the Father raise Him? This study will attempt to answer some of the confusions surrounding the Christ’s death and His resurrection based on the evidence from the Bible and the writing of Ellen White.
In John 16, we are told that the Spirit of Truth will come and that he will guide us into all truth. But who or what is this Spirit? Most Christians believe that the Spirit of Truth is another way of identifying the Holy Spirit whom Christ has sent to be our Comforter and our guide. But did you know that the Spirit of Truth is actually the Spirit of Christ? Let’s take a look, shall we?
