Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
2 Peter 1:12
“New light will not manifest itself in a form that is altogether different from the light the church already possesses.
It will take the form of a further advancement of "Present Truth". It is a fuller, clearer, and brighter unfolding of the old truth.
Thus it will not replace, substitute, radically change, or tear down the foundations of Adventist faith and practice.”

2 Peter 1:12
“New light will not manifest itself in a form that is altogether different from the light the church already possesses.
It will take the form of a further advancement of "Present Truth". It is a fuller, clearer, and brighter unfolding of the old truth.
There will be harmony with
-the theological landmarks,
-the Spirit of Prophecy,
-and historicist principles of Bible interpretation.
Thus it will not replace, substitute, radically change, or tear down the foundations of Adventist faith and practice.”
