Where does the SA stand on the writings of Ellen G. White

[Amisk]

1. Where does the Army stand on the doctrine of Investigative Judgment?
How do you understand this doctrine?

2. Where does the Army differ with the Ellen G. White?

3. Does Salvation Army look at her teaching as a false cult?

I would really like some feed back on this topic.

i'm not really sure. but i can ask around.

Ellen White is the prophet of the Seventh-day Adventists, so the Salvation Army wouldn't believe in her. They don't have anything to do with the Millerite movement like SDA does.

The SDA are no longer part of the Mllerte movement, not in NZ or AUS.

I don't personally believe that the SA is as interested in doctrinal details as it is in literally applying Christ's second Great Commandment to "love thy neighbor." In other words, it's a Church that puts Christianity into real, practical action and spends less time on intellectual endeavors. Of course, I'm speaking in general terms. It could be that the SA sees helping folks in real need as being more important than worrying about which day one should rest, but that's just my opinion.
