11. Did Ellen White influence the beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist church?

Seventh-day Adventists fully support the Reformation principle of sola scriptura—the Bible is its own interpreter and the Bible alone as the basis of all doctrines. The founders of the church developed fundamental beliefs through study of the Bible; they did not receive these doctrines through the visions of Ellen White. Seventh-day Adventists’ fundamental beliefs are Bible based and sustained by biblical arguments. Ellen White’s major role during the development of Adventist doctrines was to guide in the understanding of the Bible and to confirm conclusions reached through Bible study.JTL21 12.1
