17. The Gift of Prophecy

One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit
is prophecy. This gift is an identifying mark of the remnant church and
was manifested in the ministry of Ellen G. White. As the Lord's messenger,
her writings are a continuing and authoritative source of truth which provide
for the church comfort, guidance, instruction, and correction. They also
make clear that the Bible is the standard by which all teaching and experience
must be tested. (
Joel 2:28, 29 [1];
Acts 2:14-21 [2];
Hebrews 1:1-3 [3];
Revelation 12:17 [4];
Revelation 19:10 [5].
