"Many will stand in our pulpits with the torch of false prophecy in their hands, kindled from the hellish torch of Satan. If doubts and unbelief are cherished, the faithful ministers will be removed from the people who think they know so much. 'If thou hadst known,' said Christ, 'even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes." E.G. White, Testimonies to Ministers, pp. 409, 410.

The words: 'If thou hadst known,' said Christ, 'even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes' appear in the first chapter of The Great Controversy, in application to the typical "PREFIGURE" destruction of the Jews in AD 70.

Three Faithful Ministers Removed

It is more than interesting to note the achievements of three faithful ministers who have been removed (defrocked) from the professing SDA Church. It is more than interesting to note that these three ministers believe and teach exactly as the pioneer Adventists taught, and do not differ with Ellen White on one point of doctrine.

The three ministers in mention are:

Raphael Perez
John Grosboll
Jan Marcussen

Raphal Perez leads a group of faithful independent Adventists who are placing full page advertisments about the Everlasting Gospel in every major newspaper in the country. This is a monumental undertaking. The cost is amazing even SDA leaders who estimate it is approaching millions of dollars in expense. We were told that with God as our leader, one could chase ten-thousand, and that is what is occuring among faithful Independent Ministries.

John Grosboll, of Steps to Life Ministries, is conducting a world-wide literature and Bible Study ministry, as well as a wide-spread radio ministry.

Jan Marcussen, the author of the book entitled The National Sunday Law, has distributed the book world-wide.

I hasten to say that if every professing SDA minister was to achieve what these three faithful "REMOVED--SEPARATED" ministers have achieved, the work would have been finished and Jesus could and would have come. However, I must add a qualification to the word "faithful" as it applies or does not apply to some of these men. None of these men are "faithful" to the truth in that they do not warn SDAs not to be joined to a New Movement, New Organization, that has formed trojan-horse-like "among" professing Seventh-day Adventists, and has taken over the church, obviously, for the reason that Ellen White said: "Nothing would be allowed to stand in the way of the new movement." I would take that to mean even so called "faithful" folk within her membership will not stand in the way of the New Movement!

There are those who maintain they are remaining members in order to "stand in the way of the new movement." They thus do despite to and defy the Spirit of Prophecy. They also defy the Spirit of Prophecy's clarion instruction that we were never to join any new movement or new organization. That does not mean that just because Satan forms a new movement "among" us that we can join that New Movement!

Sincerely,

Ron Beaulieu
