Repeated By The Spirit Of Prophecy

This was the principle laid down from the beginning in the writings of the Spirit of prophecy itself. In “Early Writings,” the first book put out by Mrs. White, containing early views and experiences, it was written:SPIAM 29.5

“I recommend to you, dear reader, the word of God as the rule of your faith and practice. By that word we are to be judged. God has, in that word, promised to give visions in the ‘last days;’ not for a new rule of faith, but for the comfort of His people, and to correct those who err from Bible truth.”—Page 78.SPIAM 29.6

In the lands that she was called to visit in a lifelong ministry, Mrs. White bore the same testimony. Speaking in Christiania (now Oslo), Norway, in 1885, she said:SPIAM 30.1

“The Bible and the Bible alone is to be our creed, the sole bond of union; all who bow to this holy word will be in harmony.... Let us meet all opposition as did our Master, saying, ‘It is written.’ Let us lift up the banner on which is inscribed, The Bible our rule of faith and discipline.”—The Review and Herald, December 15, 1885.SPIAM 30.2
