“Fearful sights of a supernatural character will soon be revealed in the heavens, in token of the power of miracle-working demons” (Great Controversy, p. 624).
On Sabbath, June 15, 2024, during the Southwest Region Conference Camp Meeting, the worship leader spontaneously began speaking in tongues before the entire camp. [1] This is the kind of behavior you see in a Pentecostal church on Sunday morning, when its pastors are possessed with an unholy spirit. But it didn’t happen on Sunday; it happened on the holy Sabbath and at an official church-sponsored event.
In the video above, you can see what is taking place in a Seventh-day Adventist camp meeting during Sabbath worship—Pentecostalism. This act of speaking in tongues happens when people are in an altered state of consciousness and their normal patterns of thought and behavior are altered. Speaking in tongues appears to be a supernatural or paranormal occurrence.
What these Adventists are doing today, however, is not biblical. Even God has no idea what these people are saying. Speaking in tongues, according to God’s word, simply means that the Holy Spirit gives us the ability to communicate the gospel in a different language. In Acts 2, the Holy Spirit descended, and the apostles began to speak in different languages, which people could understand.
However, the church today is openly being infiltrated by Pentecostals. This is Satan’s invention to substitute the truth of God with false excitement. Who’s letting this in? Who tolerates this behavior? Why are we giving our people the opportunity to become seduced by evil spirits? Our church and other organizations were founded with the intention of preparing people to complete God’s work on earth.
It is the responsibility of the Southwestern Union Conference to intervene and stop Pentecostalism from invading the church. The church has a responsibility to “reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine” (2 Timothy 4:2). If we remain silent in favor of this apostasy, we will never receive the seal of God. Sadly, far too many Adventists have become blind and deaf as our sacred and solemn worship is replaced with chaotic exhibitions, speaking in tongues, wild and uncontrollable dancing, and intense emotions.
“Who are standing in the counsel of God at this time? Is it those who virtually excuse wrongs among the professed people of God and who murmur in their hearts, if not openly, against those who would reprove sin? Is it those who take their stand against them and sympathize with those who commit wrong? No, indeed! Unless they repent, and leave the work of Satan in oppressing those who have the burden of the work and in holding up the hands of sinners in Zion, they will never receive the mark of God’s sealing approval. They will fall in the general destruction of the wicked, represented by the work of the five men bearing slaughter weapons. Mark this point with care: Those who receive the pure mark of truth, wrought in them by the power of the Holy Ghost, represented by a mark by the man in linen, are those “that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done” in the church. Their love for purity and the honor and glory of God is such, and they have so clear a view of the exceeding sinfulness of sin, that they are represented as being in agony, even sighing and crying. Read the ninth chapter of Ezekiel.” (Testimonies, Vol. 3, 267).

The music is seriously wrong, See the “Distraction Dellima”
(it should be)
all the church leaders/elders have to watch it as part of their training.
{The things you have described as taking place in Indiana, the Lord has shown me would take place just before the close of probation.
Every uncouth thing will be demonstrated. There will be shouting, with drums, music, and dancing.
The senses of rational beings will become so confused that they cannot be trusted to make right decisions.
And this is called the moving of the Holy Spirit.} 5MR 107.3 }

With Conference Leaders allowing nothing to Stand in the Way of the New Movement I Wouldn’t count on Conference Leaders Standing against such Abominations. It Didn’t happen Thirty years ago when I Protested as a Young man in my Early Twenties. The World Church, under the Leadership of Ted Wilson Will Wax Worse and Worse.
If the leaders in Israel had received Christ, He would have honored them as His messengers to carry the gospel to the world. To them first was given the opportunity to become heralds of the kingdom and grace of God. But Israel knew not the time of her visitation. The jealousy and distrust of the Jewish leaders had ripened into open hatred, and the hearts of the people were turned away from Jesus.
The Sanhedrin had rejected Christ’s message and was bent upon His death; therefore Jesus departed from Jerusalem, from the priests, the temple, the religious leaders, the people who had been instructed in the law, and turned to another class to proclaim His message, and to gather out those who should carry the gospel to all nations. As the light and life of men was rejected by the ecclesiastical authorities in the days of Christ, so it has been rejected in every succeeding generation. Again and again the history of Christ’s withdrawal from Judea has been repeated. When the Reformers preached the word of God, they had no thought of separating themselves from the established church; but the religious leaders would not tolerate the light, and those that bore it were forced to seek another class, who were longing for the truth. In our day few of the professed followers of the Reformers are actuated by their spirit. Few are listening for the voice of God, and
ready to accept truth in whatever guise it may be presented. Often those who follow in the steps of the Reformers are forced to turn away from the churches they love, in order to declare the plain teaching of the word of God. And many times those who are seeking for light are by the same teaching obliged to leave the church of their fathers, that they may render obedience.

Jesus had come to the fig tree hungry, to find food. So He had come to Israel, hungering to find in them the fruits of righteousness. He had lavished on them His gifts, that they might bear fruit for the blessing of the world. Every opportunity and privilege had been granted them, and in return He sought their sympathy and co-operation in His work of grace. He longed to see in them self-sacrifice and compassion, zeal for God, and a deep yearning of soul for the salvation of their fellow men. Had they kept the law of God, they would have done the same unselfish work that Christ did. But love to God and man was eclipsed by pride and self-sufficiency. They brought ruin upon themselves by refusing to minister to others. The treasures of truth which God had committed to them, they did not give to the world. In the barren tree they might read both their sin and its punishment. Withered beneath the Saviour’s curse, standing forth sere and blasted, dried up by the roots,
the fig tree showed what the Jewish people would be when the grace of God was removed from them. Refusing to impart blessing, they would no longer receive it. “O Israel,” the Lord says, “thou hast destroyed thyself.”
Desire of Ages pg. 382
The warning is for all time. Christ’s act in cursing the tree which His own power had created stands as a warning to all churches and to all Christians. No one can live the law of God without ministering to others. But there are many who do not live out Christ’s merciful, unselfish life. Some who think themselves excellent Christians do not understand what constitutes service for God. They plan and study to please themselves. They act only in reference to self. Time is of value to them only as they can gather for themselves. In all the affairs of life this is their object. Not for others but for themselves do they minister. God created them to live in a world where unselfish service must be performed. He designed them to help their fellow men in every possible way. But self is so large that they cannot see anything
else. They are not in touch with humanity. Those who thus live for self are like the fig tree, which made every pretension but was fruitless. They observe the forms of worship, but without repentance or faith. In profession they honor the law of God, but obedience is lacking. They say, but do not. In the sentence pronounced on the fig tree Christ demonstrates how hateful in His eyes is this vain pretense. He declares that the open sinner is less guilty than is he who professes to serve God, but who bears no fruit to His glory.

For more than a thousand years the Jewish nation had abused God’s mercy and invited His judgments. They had rejected His warnings and slain His prophets. For these sins the people of Christ’s day made themselves responsible by following the same course. In the rejection of their present mercies and warnings lay the guilt of that generation. The fetters which the nation had for centuries been forging, the people of Christ’s day were fastening upon themselves.
In every age there is given to men their day of light and privilege, a probationary time in which they may become reconciled to God. But there is a limit to this grace. Mercy may plead for years and be slighted and rejected; but there comes a time when mercy makes her last plea. The heart becomes so hardened that it ceases to respond to the Spirit of God.
Then the sweet, winning voice entreats the sinner no longer, and reproofs and warnings cease. That day had come to Jerusalem. Jesus wept in anguish over the doomed city, but He could not deliver her. He had exhausted every resource. In rejecting the warnings of God’s Spirit, Israel had rejected the only means of help. There was no other power by which they could be delivered.

Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: 30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. 31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.§§ 33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
Proverbs 1
4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.
6 Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
7 Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.
Proverbs 28
Cry Aloud says
This New Age Spiritualism, which is a result of worshiping the Triune God or Trinity, is connected with Sunday observance and it’s indeed sun worship! This charismatic worship style is spreading like cancer across the Adventist world church. Until we return to our one true God and His literal begotten Son, this false spirit called “God the Holy Spirit” will deceive many. It is not the Spirit of Christ but a spirit of another person coming in his own name (John 5:43). Today we deny the literal Son of God and accept Barabbas. I pray we could listen to the call for repentance and return to our God and our Lord. Beware of Pentecost 2025! The Trinity is the Omega of Apostasy.

Reminded of the statement, “Here we see that the church—the Lord’s sanctuary—was the first to feel the stroke of the wrath of God.” 5T 211. Have seen videos like that before, but this one was especially startling. Left me feeling surely the time is getting very close when God will take things into His own hands.
