BELOW IS THE TESTIMONY OF JARED SOWDERS - A LAODICEAN WHO REMOVED MY COMMENTS TO HIS POSTS ON FB CONCERNING HIS RETURN TO THE GENERAL CONFERENCE OF SDA; WHERE HE IS NOW EMPLOYED.
I quote:
"Testimony: Why I left the independent "present truth" churches?
I left the independent movements & went back to the Conference because of the enlightenment of the Nine Volumes of the Testimonies. This isn't a rushed statement, I have weighed this out in my readings and watched closely the fruit of these movements.
I thought reading the history would confirm me in the independent movements. However, the exact opposite occurred. I now understand the importance of the question asked by Jesus, "How readest thou?" If you read things with a certain preconceived narrative you will end up believing something that never occurred.
I couldn't find a reference to James Edson White hammering the Pope and the Conference week after week. Nor could I find a "school of the prophets," training persons to gain a following by taking videos of the church apostasy and attacking our "weaker" brethren. When I looked into the life of Moses, he was willing to die and be blotted out even for the liberal church! He didn't start his own nation.
It is such an absurd thought to compare Christ's method alone which brings true success verses a characterized method of strife, criticism, and debate to gain a following.
Moreover, I had waited two sessions to go door to door or do some type of evangelism at the school which never occurred, besides when I left. It was just Adventist baptizing other Adventist for the most part.
I am pleased to say I am grateful for how the Lord led me & how He taught me to follow Him, instead of man. I cannot support or condone these movements any longer. There is no hard feelings towards any of them. I care for them dearly. But after my studies I have seen where I have erred in dealing with individuals. I used to be so kind, compassionate, and merciful before going to this school and listening to certain unbalanced videos, yet I was firm as a rock...but I will return to this by God's grace.
I want to apologize to everybody I have been too harsh with or have drew into an argument. This was not right. Nor the enormous amounts of posting about specific religious movements.
I am thankful that I joined back with the local Conference and I have been a full time hired Bible worker there for some months now and it has been such a blessing. No longer will I involve myself in these church politics, unless needed.
Let us pray for all parties involved"

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...

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...

IMPUTED AND IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS EXPLAINED By Nyron Medina

IMPUTED AND IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS  EXPLAINED By Nyron Medina Statement of the case 1. Imputed and imparted righteousness are usually seen as different things in apostate  theology; they are presented as happening either successively or at the very same time,  but they are presented as two different salvific functions.  “In this most illuminating paragraph, the writer traces two distinct phases in the process  of our salvation—two complementary aspects of the plan of redemption—which are in a  certain sense successive, but at the same time simultaneous; two different operations of  the same righteousness of Christ, which alone can satisfy the demands of divine justice  and make saints of us. Let us analyze in outline form these two phases:  A. THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST BY WHICH WE ARE JUSTIFIED.  1. It is imputed to us, which is, credited, granted freely without our earning it.  2. It provides our r...
