Involuntary sin – This is the belief that all became sinners simply by being born.
Biblical Gospel
“Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.” (1 John 3:4).
Ellen White calls this the clear definition of sin, the true definition of sin, and at least ten times she calls it the only definition of sin.
Elsewhere, commenting on this verse, she says it means to willfully transgress the law of God in thought, word, or action.
“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” (James 4:17).
