Upper Columbia Conference "Ordinationizes" Commissioned Credential

First of all…. let me say that I really would like to see Adventist news sources, such as Ordinationtruth.com, report more frequently on issues affecting the World Church. I realize that this website is more singularly dedicated to the issue of Women’s Ordination; but I just would just like to see that when issues, such as these, insinuate themselves upon the Church, that we can see websites, that are standing for the truth, be “johnny-on-the-spot” in its reporting. The “Spectrumses” and “AdventistTodays” of the church have become news sources that are more on the ball in reporting than even The Adventist Review. But, websites, standing for the right, seem to lag behind in reporting. This is only meant to serve as constructive criticism; nothing more.
Now as to the issue….
When, tell me when, will we hear from the General Conference as to decisive action to deal with this widespread rebellion that has occurred since San Antonio? It is clear that the only deterrent against the actions of these Unions/Conferences, largely in but not limited to Europe (also including rogue Unions/Conferences in the United States), is discipline. There will be no recanting on the part of leadership in the aforementioned areas. Make no mistake about it, I am in support of the GC President and have felt, since 2010, that God has infused a proposition of revival and reformation most definitely upon the remnant Church. I give seminars all over the country and parts of the world and have returned to Atlanta, Ga many times, since GC 2010, to give seminars. Every time I go, if at all possible, I look out the side of the plane to try and spot that bright, white dome in the southeast corner of Downtown Atlanta (The Georgia Dome). I believe, symbolically that it was the place where God began His final call, to His people, to Revive and Reform before it is too late. It means very little more than the home of the Atlanta Falcons to my fellow plane passengers, but I consider that place a place of magnanimous implications and importance; in short, “the epicenter of the shaking”. This work has been done most intentionally through the ministry of Elder Ted Wilson.
Believe it or not I believe that the appeal by Elder Wilson to say “amen” instead of clapping was the beginning of a tidal wave of addressing the various and sundry things that have infested Adventism over the last 40 years or so; which beforehand was, to me, “live and let live” since the warning message of Elder Robert Pierson (meaning no disrespect to Elder Neal Wilson). Elder Wilson has been doing the most important work needed within the SDA Church.
Ellen White says, “A revival of true godliness among us is the greatest and most urgent of all our needs. To seek this should be our first work.” 1 Selected Messages pg. 121
She also states, “Revival and reformation are to do their appointed work, and in doing this work they must blend.” —The Review and Herald, February 25, 1902.
However, it seems to me that the Women as Elders, Women as Pastors, Women as Commissioned Ministers issues must be reformed in order to achieve an atmosphere of real, actual reformation in our Church. So very many proponents of bringing our church in line with other churches and U.S., European, and Australian cultures, were dismayed at the election of Elder Wilson; making comments such as “This will set us back to the seventies”. Well, in keeping with the Word of God (such as Jude 3….”earnest contend for the faith once delivered unto the saints”) we are to admonished to “revival and reform”. This means that the themes of the ministry of Elder Wilson have been and are ordered up by God Himself. Yet, to allow the rebellion to continue, unchecked, is beginning to strip all applicative meaning of the concepts of Revival and Reformation. All of us who were at the Alamodome or listened by TV/Internet heard the promise from Elder Wilson, “I will abide by the vote this body, I promise you (possibly not verbatim, but close enough).” We know what abiding by a “yes vote” would have meant (not standing in the way of implementation of Women’s Ordination within Divisions deciding to proceed with it), but what has abiding by a “no vote” meant? Unions/Conference have been working, since GC 2015, to turn a “no vote” into a “yes vote” by being rebelliously creative in devising a way to get around the “no vote”. All we have had is a statement of clarification from the Secretariat of the GC, in regards to the actual powers/latitudes of the Unions and nothing further. During the “war in heaven”, Ellen White states, “God permitted Satan to carry forward his work until the spirit of disaffection ripened into active revolt.” Patriarchs and Prophets pg. 41 Is not the actions of these rogue Unions/Conferences (and the Divisional Leaders that allow it) “active revolt”.
The silence from the GC is deafening…
