Robert J. Wieland Responds to the Majority Report of the PGC

"One of the key issues discussed during these six years was the definition of the 1888 message. The 1888 message was declared by Ellen White to be something far in advance of the “gospel” understandings of the Sunday-keeping churches because in her view it was “the beginning” of the loud cry of Revelation 18 and of the long-awaited (and long-prayed-for!) latter rain. Thus she saw the 1888 view of justification and righteousness by faith as a unique truth parallel to and consistent with the specialAdventist idea of the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary, which work began in 1844."  ~Robert J. Wieland

"E.J. Waggoner can teach righteousness by faith more clearly than I can," said Sister White. "Why, Sister White," I said, "do you mean to say that E. J. Waggoner can teach it better than you can, with all your experience?" Sister White replied, "Yes, the Lord has given him special light on that question. I have been wanting to bring it out more clearly, but I could not have brought it out as clearly as he did. But when he brought it out at Minneapolis, I recognized it."
