In regard to infallibility, I never claimed it God alone is infallible. His word is true, and in Him is no variableness, or shadow of turning.
Ellen G. White
Image
The soul that is yielded to Christ becomes His own fortress, which He holds in a revolted world, and He intends that no authority shall be known in it except His own. A soul thus kept in possession by the heavenly agencies is impregnable to the assaults of Satan.
