圣所真理的完整性
怀爱伦于1905、1906和1907年发表的一组声明,论到A.F.巴伦杰长老的学说
导论
对于基督复临安息日会,二十世纪的头十年是教义受到严重威胁的时期。{MR760 1.1}
从1897年以后,泛神论的教导受到了约翰·哈维·凯洛格医生的拥护和传播,为他于1903年发表于巴特尔克里克的书《活殿》所支持。怀爱伦看到上帝在花朵、树木、空气和我们每一个人里面的这种泛神论上帝观,实际上是“去掉上帝,”因此严重地损害圣所真理。这是她经常提到的。{MR760 1.2}
然后在1905年早期,在英国工作的A.F.巴伦杰长老开发和阐述的观点奠定了基础,直接攻击圣所真理。同年晚期,这些观点在美国首都华盛顿召开的总会会议上为复临教会的工人们所熟悉。{MR760 1.3}
在那次会议上,怀爱伦指出了巴伦杰长老的谬论,不仅在与他的会谈上,而且在她根据她从主所领受的异象而写给他的信函里。巴伦杰拒绝了怀爱伦的告诫,继续持守自己的观点不变。{MR760 1.4}
本文稿呈现的是怀爱伦对巴伦杰的立场所发的警告,强调了安息日复临信徒从最早期就教导的圣所教义的完整性。{MR760 1.5}
所引用的信函和文稿是完整的或近乎完整的,尽管怀爱伦在一些文件中论到好几个题目。

For the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the first decade of the present century was a time when doctrinal inroads seriously threatened.{MR760 1.1}[1]
The pantheistic teachings espoused and promulgated by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg from 1897 onward, were supported by his book?The Living Temple, published in Battle Creek in 1903. Ellen White saw the pantheistic concepts of God in the flower, the tree, the atmosphere, and in each one of us, as virtually “doing away with God,” and therefore seriously undercutting the sanctuary truth. This she frequently mentioned.{MR760 1.2}[2]
Then early in 1905 Elder A. F. Ballenger, working in England, developed and expounded views which formed the basis for a direct attack on the sanctuary truth. Later in that year these views became known to adventist workers at the General Conference session held in Washington, D. C.{MR760 1.3}[3]
At that conference Ellen White pointed out Elder Ballenger’s errors not only in interviews with him, but also in written communications based on visions she had received from the Lord. Ballenger rejected Ellen White’s admonitions and continued to hold his views unchanged.{MR760 1.4}[4]
Presented here are statements of Ellen White giving warning against the ballenger positions and underscoring the integrity of the sanctuary doctrine as taught by Seventh-day Adventists from their very earliest years.{MR760 1.5}[5]
The letters and manuscripts are quoted in full, or nearly so, even though Ellen White deals with several subjects in some of the documents.{MR760 1.6}[6]
