What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "What is Ellen G. White's view of the deity, especially the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?"
Answer
Ellen G. White describes the deity as a heavenly trio consisting of three living, eternal persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father and the Son are distinct personalities who are one in nature, purpose, and character, without their individual identities being dissolved. She also emphatically stresses that the Holy Spirit is a real, divine person, and that these three highest powers of heaven work together for the salvation of humanity.
Three Living Persons of the Heavenly Trio
»The Helper that Christ promised to send after His ascension is the Spirit in the full fullness of the deity, who reveals the power of divine grace to all who accept Christ as a personal Savior and believe in Him. There are three living persons of the heavenly trio; in the name of these three great powers—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—those who accept Christ by living faith are baptized, and these powers will work together with obedience.«
The Eternal Office‑Bearers and the Nature of the Holy Spirit
»The eternal heavenly office‑bearers—God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit—who equipped them [the disciples] with more than human power, ... would go with them to the work and lead the world away from sin. ... We must recognize that the Holy Spirit, who is a person just as God is a person, moves over this terrain. ... The Holy Spirit has a personality; otherwise He could not testify to our spirit and with our spirit that we are children of God. He must also be a divine person, otherwise He could not explore the mysteries hidden in the mind of God.«
The Personality and Unity of the Father and the Son
»Here again the personality of the Father and the Son is presented, and the unity that exists between them is shown. ... The unity that exists between Christ and His disciples does not destroy the individuality of each. They are one in purpose, in mind, in character, but not in person. In this way God and Christ are one.«
The Three Highest Powers in the Universe
»The presence of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the three highest powers in the universe and those in whose name the believer is baptized, is promised to every yearning soul. It will grant grace and power to all who are ready for vigilance in prayer, to all who cleanse their souls through obedience to the truth.«
