When Is a Prophet...Not a Prophet?

 

"We have never considered Ellen G. White to be in the same category as the writers of the canon of Scripture. However, apart from the chosen writers of the canonical books of Scripture, God used a line of prophets or messengers who lived contemporaneously with the writers of the two Testaments, but whose utterances were never a part of Scripture canon."

(But, Selected Messages say this: 1 SM 36 "Others have called me a prophetess, but I have never assumed that title. I have not felt that it was my duty thus to designate myself. Those who boldly assume that they are prophets in this our day are often a reproach to the cause of Christ. My work includes much more than this signifies. I regard myself as a messenger, entrusted by the Lord with messages for His people." --Letter 55, 1905

I consider her writings to be that of the Holy Spirit and as we know , men were moved by the Holy Spirit to write down what is now called the BIBLE. I believe she is a prophet , the WORDS she wrote were those given her by the Spirit of Truth.
