Book excerpt: This book started out as an intense personal study by the author to evaluate and confirm his beliefs about God and salvation in regard to the teaching of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. Why is it that so many Seventh-Day Adventists do not have the assurance of salvation? What criteria in the Bible and what specifically in Ellen G. White's writings might lead someone to believe they were not fit for heaven, that they did not qualify to be there, that God would not forgive them, and there was more required than just relying on Jesus's sacrifice to cover their sins? If they did not meet a strict set of rules, would God cast them aside in the end? In this book, you will find out just who are the saved, who are the lost, and what happens to them in the end and what end-times will look like according to Ellen G. White and the SDA Church. The author estimates he has spent well in excess of ten thousand hours and has read over fifteen thousand pages of material over a seven-year period in the preparation of this book. It is the author's hope and prayer that this book will make the reader question, not their belief in the saving grace of God and the loving sacrifice of Jesus but rather question anything that might have come between them and that grace.
