longer the voice of God.
I am encouraged and blessed as I realize
that the God of Israel is still guiding His people, and that He will continue
to be with them, even to the end. . . . {MR311 16.2}
Ron responds: God will certainly guide His
people to the end. That means all who keep His commandments and heed the
Laodicean message in its entirety, not an apostate, new movement church that
is teaching antichrist doctrine.
God is leading out a people.
He has a chosen people, a church on the earth, whom He has made the
depositaries of His law. He has committed to them sacred trust and eternal
truth to be given to the world. He would reprove and correct them. The message to the Laodiceans
is applicable to Seventh-day Adventists who have had great light and
have not walked in the light. It is those who have made great profession, but
have not kept in step with their Leader, that will be spewed out of His mouth
unless they repent. The message to pronounce the Seventh-day Adventist Church
Babylon, and call the people of God out of her, does not come from any
heavenly messenger, or any human agent inspired by the Spirit of God.
{MR311 5.1}
Ron responds:
·
Yes, God is leading OUT a people, straight
out of apostate Jerusalem, as well as Babylon.
·
The Laodicean (lukewarm) message does not
apply to a church once it has committed COLD SRICTLY FORBIDDEN APOSTASY after
knowing the truth. The Laodicean message does not apply to a church that has
separated itself from God and is teaching antichrist doctrine.
Ellen White said--
"Those who have published the Loud Cry [DVD] tract have not consulted
me upon the subject. They have quoted largely from my writings and put their
own construction upon them. They claim to have a special message from God to
pronounce the Seventh-day Adventist Church Babylon, proclaim her fall, and
call the people of God to come out of her, and try to make the Testimonies
substantiate their theory. These publications are misleading minds, and
increasing the prejudice already existing, and tend to make it more difficult
to get access to them to present the message God has given in warnings to the
world of altogether a different character from the ideas presented in these
pamphlets [DVD]." {RH, November 8, 1956 par. 1}

The above statement was written to Stanton and Caldwell in 1893 when Ellen White said that
the church was keeping the commandments and heeding the Laodicean message.
