Identity Crisis – Spirit Section
Preface
Since mid-1880s crisis of D.M. Canright, Seventh day Adventism has been a movement familiar with crises. This is a movement that has been pushed to a corner and in response to combat the worldview that they are a “cult” and not Christian denomination, we have seen since then a lot of “reactionary theology” almost in all its doctrines that has not done good but eroded the faith once delivered to the saints. We have seen this movement adopt the word “Trinity” to escape the wrath of evangelicals, we have seen the 1919 conference discuss the place of Ellen White role in Adventism [we are afraid of our own prophetess], the 1950s evangelical dialogues that downplays “atonement”, the 1980s Dallas Texas official adoption of “Trinity” which is a prerequisite to join ecumenical movement of WCC and the 1995 joining with evangelicals to celebrate the “Lima Text” which talks about Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry [BEM] things that we are gulfs apart. All these moves have been nothing but face-saving moves where there was no real face to save. Afraid to remain distinct and peculiar amidst the pressure and the siege of Christendom, Seventh day Adventism has become a movement with an “Identity Crisis”. Due to much controverted doctrine of God. I decided to put out something precise in a small Volume to shed light on our position as a Father and Son believers. Though “author” and editor of this, this document is the official belief of Gospel Sounders Rekindling the Reformation Ministries [GSrrM]. This study is one kind of it; bringing together the wider scope of the doctrine of God and giving another dimension on this belief more so on the part of the “Holy Spirit” which is another misunderstood subject among Trinitarians and Non-Trinitarians. Thanks to the Lord for providing me with friends who have contributed greatly to this work. Much regards to Brother Ryan Tacklin and Paul Chung for supplying numerous unread before quotes. In some instances you will also meet sentiments from fellow pilgrims whom I know because they are not seeking vain glory, they won’t be offended of their names being not mentioned. Blessings as you go through this in your renewed zeal and quest for truth and righteousness.
