Step Twenty-one&mdash;The Gift of Prophecy

What is the biblical gift of prophecy? &ldquo;The Scriptures testify that one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is prophecy. This gift is an identifying mark of the remnant church, and we believe it was manifested in the ministry of Ellen G. White. Her writings speak with prophetic authority and provide comfort, guidance, instruction, and correction to the church. They also make clear that the Bible is the standard by which all teaching and experience must be tested.&rdquo;&mdash;Seventh-day Adventists Believe, p. 253
