“As Jesus was crucified, so I saw that these messages have been crucified. And as the disciples declared that there was salvation in no other name under heaven, given among men; so, also, should the servants of God faithfully and fearlessly declare that those who embrace but a part of the truths connected with the third message must gladly embrace the first, second and third messages as God has given them or have no lot in the matter.”
— Ellen G. White • The Great Controversy, 1858, p. 75“I feel fully authorized by the Lord, to recommend that Extra, to every saint.”Ellen G. White, A Word to the “Little Flock” (1847), p. 12.
