CAREFULLY STUDY THE FOLLOWING TEXT SHOWING JUSTIFICATION IS AN INTERNAL WORK NOT A CREDITING TO AN ACCOUNT IN HEAVEN

CAREFULLY STUDY THE FOLLOWING TEXT SHOWING JUSTIFICATION IS AN INTERNAL WORK NOT A CREDITING TO AN ACCOUNT IN HEAVEN
Rom.6:6-7
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is justified (Gk - diakioo) from sin.

Eph.4:22-24 
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;7
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Rom.6:6-7 the old man is crucufied causing cessation of sin. Because he that is dead (or he that had crucified the old man) is justified (Gk - diakioo) from sin. Eph.4:22-24 -The old man is replaced by by a new spiritual experience, the new man, which is created in Righteousness and true holiness. We see here justification is the replacement of the old man with the new man in which is Righteousness.
Now examine Gal.2:17-18
"17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor."

Gal.2:17-18 shows when we are justified with Christ within the works that we do are considered to be ministered by Christ. However when we sin and loose justification with the old man built back within and Christ then without, it is the old man that is responsible for the works not Christ.
Thus since being justified determines our immediate sinfree experience or absents thereof causes our immediate sinful experience, justification is an internal work of God in making a person sinfree.

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES SHOULD BE?

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES  SHOULD BE? We are in the very last days, we are told that the last controversy will be very short. “We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecies are fulfilling. The last great conflict will be short, but terrible. Old controversies will be revived. New controversies will arise. We have a great work to do. Our ministerial work must not cease. The last warning must be given to the world. There is a special power in the presentation of the truth at the present time. How long will it last? Only a little while.” Ellen G. White, Selected Messages bk. 3, pg. 419. And in view of the lateness of time, what should be the inquiry of everyone? We are told: “The inquiry of everyone should be ‘whose am I? To whom do I owe allegiance? Is my heart renewed? Is my soul reformed? Are my sins forgiven? Will they be blotted out when the time of refreshing shall come?” Ibid, pg. 419. We must needs examine ourselves to see if we are

DID ELLEN G. WHITE EVER CALL THE S.D.A. CHURCH BABYLON IN ANY WAY? BY NYRON MEDINA

In the Bible is brought to view the following statement: “And after these things I  saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was  lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying,  Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all  nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the  earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are  waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice  from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her  sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:1-4. Of this Scripture  we are told that it speaks about the Church, fallen because of sins. “In amazement  they [the people] hear the testimony that Babylon is the church,
