What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Should one be baptized again if one neither lived out nor understood righteousness by faith (1888) at the time of baptism?"
Answer
The documents do not give an explicit answer to the specific case of someone who neither understood nor lived out the 1888 message of righteousness by faith at the time of their baptism. However, they say that baptism alone does not change the heart; therefore, the quotations do not establish an automatic obligation to be baptized again. What matters is the connection with Christ.
Baptism does not change the heart by itself
»Baptism may be repeated again and again, but in itself it has no power to change the human heart. The heart must be united with the heart of Christ.«

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
My hope is that this tool supports personal Bible study, strengthens trust in the original sources, and helps more people discover the message of these writings with clarity, depth, and joy.
