The Bible is the final authenticating authority for all Christians. It is our sensitized Style Guide. True Christians will reflect Christ's character. He loved all humanity without partiality (Matt. 5:43-45). God is love. Christlike Love is True Love. Without love we are nothing. Christians should manifest a Christlike lifestyle with a selfless mindset. The promises of God are conditional. Blessed are they who daily study the Holy Bible like the Bereans; for the Sacred Scriptures testify of Jesus. His precious name is also Yesu, Isa, Yeshua, and Eiki Sisu. Accept Christ's spiritual kingdom of love and righteousness! Accept Christ's justifying and sanctifying righteousness by faith. Watchmen! Sound the trumpet alarm! Christ obeyed the moral law of love including the true Lord's Day. See: The Ten Commandments and the Three Angels' Message. Confess and repent of your sins. The moral law is written in our hearts in the New Covenant.

Sola Scriptura (the Bible alone)

Mankind was created on the sixth day, and the Sabbath was made on the seventh day of Creation week by Christ, the Lord of the Sabbath (Col. 1:14-17). There is no scriptural authority authorizing the Papacy to change God's Sabbath to Sunday, the first weekday. Humans are judged objectively by God (James 2:8-12). "The Bible, and the Bible alone, is to be our creed… All who bow to this Holy Word will be in harmony. Man is fallible, but God's Word is infallible." Ellen G. White, The Review and Herald, Feb. 18, 1890. The Testimony of Jesus is the spirit (source, substance, and essence) of prophecy. The prophet John was on the prison island of Patmos for his faith in and testimony about Christ's ethical teachings. John was inspired to write down his visions by the Holy Spirit of Truth and Prophecy. John's Revelation is all about true Worship, and our relationship with Jesus. E. W. Bullinger listed 14 different usages in the New Testament for the Greek word "pneuma" or spirit. His exegesis (not eisegesis) of pneuma in Rev 19:10 is that "spirit" means "the very essence of all prophecy." World Studies of the Holy Spirit (1979), p. 206.

Christ's Merits Alone

Christians are saved by grace alone (Sola gratia) through faith alone (Sola fide) by Christ's merits alone. Christ is our only passport and pathway to heaven. "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners" (1 Tim. 1:15). By faith we are Abraham's seed, and uphold the Testimony and Faith of Jesus (Rev 12:17; 14:12; Gal. 3:27-29). Ellen G. White said: "Little heed is given to the Bible, and the Lord has given a lesser light to lead men and women to the greater light." R & H, Jan. 29, 1903. She had the spiritual "gift" (charisma in Greek) of prophecy. Her visions and prophetic revelations are not a part of the Canon of Sacred Scriptures. Her writings exalt and magnify the present truth of the Holy Bible, the Greater Light, and give counsel to God's end-time remnant people in spiritual Israel.

God will help His saints resist and overcome Satan's gullible zone of deception, and the terror torture of the religio-political Sea Beast and Earth Beast of Revelation 13. Love everyone! Share with them the Elijah Message and the Gospel of Jesus. The Anti-Christ is deceiving almost the whole world. The mark of the beast is Sunday keeping, the sign of papal authority. The seventh day of the week is the true Christian Sabbath, and a sign of Christ's creative and sanctifying power (Eze. 20:12). Worship God. Walk with God as Enoch, Noah, Moses, and Joshua did. Live by the Golden Rule. Resist the Beast-Man. God will sustain the righteous as they face false prophets, hatemongers, tribulation, omens and demons, an economic meltdown, and the new world order government. They shall also see many cataclysmic catastrophes just before the visible, glorious Return of Jesus Christ (Heb 9:28). See the Three Angels' Messages and the Battle of Armageddon.
