For starters I would say that at least two are heretical: #18 regarding Ms. White and #24 regarding investigative judgment. More later!

[FONT="]6. Creation[/FONT][FONT="]:
God is Creator of all things, and has [/FONT][FONT="]revealed in Scripture the authentic account[/FONT][FONT="] of His creative activity. [/FONT][FONT="]In six days[/FONT][FONT="] the Lord made "the heaven and the earth" and all living things upon the earth, [/FONT][FONT="]and rested on the seventh [/FONT][FONT="]day of that first week.[/FONT][FONT="]Thus He established the Sabbath[/FONT][FONT="] as a perpetual memorial of His completed creative work. The first man and woman were made in the image of God as the crowning work of Creation, given dominion over the world, and charged with responsibility to care for it. When the world was finished it was ``very good,'' declaring the glory of God. (Gen. 1; 2; Ex. 20:8-11; Ps. 19:1-6; 33:6, 9; 104; Heb. 11:3.)

I claim the same thing about the 28 FB for Seventh-day Adventists. They do not believe them because the document tells them to, rather the document is written to reflect what they believe and inform those who ask so you know you are not getting "one guy's opinion" for the answer as to what the denomination actually agrees to.
The point remains. :)
in Christ,

here is an example of a simple comparison of a doctrine -- no need to be 'timid'.

The Gift of Prophecy
One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is prophecy. This gift is an identifying mark of the remnant church and was manifested in the ministry of Ellen. G. White. As the Lord’s messenger, her writings are a continuing and authoritative source of truth which provide for the church comfort, guidance, instruction, and correction. They also make clear that the Bible is the standard by which all teaching and experience must be tested. (Joel 2:28, 29; Acts 2:14-21; Heb. 1:1-3; Rev. 12:17; 19:10.)Click to expand... -

you do the math. :)
Ellen White's gift of prophecy is the one the Bible talks about and works the way the Bible says it does -- at least that is the belief that SDAs have on that subject.

They do not claim that the Pope's "ex cathedra" statements are only "infallible" if he is given the gift of prophecy, they do not connect the two at all.
And they will fight tooth and nail on their forums if you bring up the idea "the Bible is the standard by which all teaching and experience must be tested. (Joel 2:28, 29; Acts 2:14-21; Heb. 1:1-3; Rev. 12:17; 19:10.)"
Enough about Catholics - lets talk about Seventh-day Adventists.

I believe I have spelled it out in that prior post of mine. -- if some detail is still confusing for you please let us know what it is - I am glad to explain it. If you are simply wanting to use your free will to adopt a "deny all and don't bother with facts' well I would not want to get in the way of your free will. :)
