Guarding New Members Against Error And Fanaticism . Satan Annoys and Distracts New Believers—Wherever there is a little company raised up, Satan is constantly trying to annoy and distract them. When one of the people turns away from his sins, do you suppose that he will let him alone? No, indeed. We want you to look well to the foundation of your hope. We want you to let your life and your actions testify of you that you are the children of God.—Manuscript 5, 1885. {Ev 357.4}

Vogte nye medlemmer mod vildfarelse og fanatisme.
Satan besværer og distraherer nye troende. - Hvor der end er oprettet en lille gruppe, så søger Satan (358) hele tiden at genere og distrahere dem. Når en af folkene vender bort fra sine synder, tror du så at han vil lade ham være alene? Faktisk, ikke. Vi ønsker at du skal se lige til grundlaget for din tro. Vi ønsker at I skal lade jeres liv og handlinger bevidne at I er Guds børn. - manuskript 5, 1885.
