Many have begun to question the experiences of the past, thereby leading to much confusion and unbelief among Seventh-day Adventists. The end result is a continual questioning and rejection of our beliefs and practices. As false teachers are urging their heresies many are being ensnared by their treacherous teachings and multitudes are losing sight of the fundamental principles of the gospel and imperiling their hope of salvation. Concerning this God's remnant prophet forewarned: "It is Satan's plan to weaken the faith of God's people in the Testimonies. Next follows skepticism in regard to the vital points of our faith, the pillars of our position, then doubt as to the Holy Scriptures, and then the downward march to perdition. When the Testimonies, which were once believed, are doubted and given up, Satan knows the deceived ones will not stop at this; and he redoubles his efforts till he launches them into open rebellion, which becomes incurable and ends in destruction." (Testimonies For the Church, Vol. 4, p. 211).
