Philadephia church is God's true church that exists at the end of time. Furthermore:
THE LAODICEA CHURCH STATE CANNOT PROCLAIM THE THREE ANGELS MESSAGE IT IS THE PHILADELPHIA CHURCH STATE THAT IS EXISTING EVEN NOW THAT WILL DO SO (See quote by Sis White)
“You think, that those who worship before the saint’s feet, (Rev 3:9), will at last be saved. Here I must differ with you; for God shewed me that this class were professed Adventists, who had fallen away, and “crucified to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put Him to an open shame.” And in the “hour of temptation,” which is yet to come, to show out every one’s true character, they will know that they are forever lost; and overwhelmed with anguish of spirit, they will bow at the saint’s feet.” (EGW A Word to the Little Flock, page 12)
The above quote refers to Revelation 3:9 which speaks of the Philadelphian Church state I quote Rev.3:7 & 9:
"And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; ...
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee."
Note those who are being referred to as the "Synagogue of Satan" and "which say they are Jews, and are not" Sis White tells us is a class of professed Adventist. Sis White also refer to the "hour of temptation" as a time to come in the future. This refers to the little time of trouble before probation closes during the Sunday Law, where the saints will be persecuted to accept the Mark of the Beast. This means the Philadelphia church state has not ceased to exist and that it is the church that is spoken of in Rev.14:12 as keeping the commandments and the faith of Jesus. This further implies that it is the Philadelphia church that will preach the three Angels Message of Revelation 14:6-11.
Another point that proves the Philadelphia Church state exists even now is that the 144,000 (who would attain all time sinfree perfection) can be understood to come out of the Philadelphia Church based on the fact that the bible speaks of both Philadelphia and the 144,000 as being given the Father's name in heaven. I quote Revelation 3:12 which speaks of Philadelphia and Revelation 14:1 which speaks of the 144,000.
Rev.3:12 "Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name".
Rev.14:1 "And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads."
Even so, how could the Laodicean Church of Rev.3:14-22 with Christ outside of her and knocking to come in, proclaim the three Angels message, or even the message of the Angel of Revelation 18. The fact is the Philadelphian church state has continued from since 1844 among the remnant, and it is only those who have this fervent brotherly love (hot and on fire in their experience of the gospel of sinfreeness) will proclaim the three Angels message. A person that has the Lukewarm, wretched, miserable, and poor, and blind and naked state of Laodicea could never be used by God to proclaim the three Angels message. They must repent and become a Philadelphian first to be qualified to preach the Three Angels Message.
Furthermore Sister White refers to the state of the Laodicean Church as represented by the foolish virgins which is a lost state. I quote:
“The state of the church represented by the foolish virgins is also spoken of as the Laodicean state.” (EGW Review and Herald, August, 1890)
How could an unconverted people preach the Three Angels Message to convert the sincere ones in the world.
Sister White also said "The message to the Laodiceans is applicable to SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS who have great light and have not walked in the light." 2 Selected Messages p. 66. Thus I beseech SDA Laodiceans in love to accept the light of truth being given and walk diligently in it. Christ is coming soon and there is not much time.
