Ellen G. White, one of the co-founders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, has been extremely influential on the church, which considers her a prophet, understood today as an expression of the New Testament spiritual gift of prophecy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Seventh-day Adventist Church )〕 She was a voluminous writer and popular speaker on health and temperance. Her teachings are preserved today through over 50,000 manuscript pages of her writings, and the records of others. == Theology == Her theology was Christ-centered, particularly since the 1888 Minneapolis General Conference. Her Christology (understanding of the nature of Jesus). See Reprinted with permission by Andrews University Press. Berrien Springs, MI (February 1992). She promoted the Great Controversy theme, as outlined in her book. It has been disputed by some whether she taught one could feel assurance of salvation. Jerry Moon argues that she did.〔http://www.andrews.edu/~jmoon/Documents/GSEM_534/Class_outline/Assurance%202004.pdf〕 But most Adventists do not believe in the doctrine of 'Once Saved Always Saved' as the church holds Arminian theology, and hence does not teach a "once-saved-always-saved" philosophy. Arthur Patrick believes that White was an "evangelical", in that she had high regard for the Bible, saw the cross as central, supported righteousness by faith, believed in Christian activism, and sought to restore New Testament Christianity.〔Arthur Patrick, "An Adventist and an Evangelical in Australia? The Case of Ellen White In The 1890s." in ''Lucas: An Evangelical History Review'' No. 12, December 1991〕 By contrast, one study of Ellen White places both her and early Adventism within the context of the materialist theology of the times, seeing this to inform her Christology as well as other aspects of her teachings that are now outdated and do not correspond to contemporary Adventist views. By the same token, the study sees her as a precursor of monist covenantalism.〔Thomas McElwain, ''Adventism and Ellen White: A Phenomenon of Religious Materialism'' Studies on Inter-religious Relations 48, Swedish Science Press, 2010〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Teachings of Ellen G.
