Adventist doctrine resembles mainstream trinitarian Protestant theology, with premillennial and Arminian emphases.

Progressive Adventists tend to hold a different perspective on such areas as the investigative judgment, the prominence given to Ellen White's writings, creationism, and certain prophetic interpretations such as the remnant and Mark of the Beast.

 Ellen White & Adventism - From the Great Disappointment to A Worldwide Movement
White carefully explained that the material from non-Adventists had been discovered only after she had already composed her essay, and were included only to demonstrate the accord between what the "Lord had revealed to me" and the opinions of medical experts.
Adventists historically have been reluctant to disclose to outsiders the central role of White in their church for fear of being branded a cult with an extra-Biblical source for their beliefs, which is in fact how they are viewed by many mainstream evangelicals and fundamentalists.

 Refuting James White
During the debate, White constantly begged the questions he couldn't answer, asking counter-questions or telling the audience why this or that argument of Madrid's was not valid, or simply by going around in circles, using lots of fancy terminology, but not answering the question.
James White now argues that Jesus Christ believed in and taught, consequently, the doctrine of Sola Scriptura, because he says the elders have nullified God's Word for the sake of their traditions.
White claims the Protestant position is. Thus, he is wrong in saying Catholic Answers misrepresents his views all the time, at least in that article, which White does claim.

 James S. White, Bible Adventism, Intr.
We are Adventists, and are observers of the ancient Sabbath of the Lord.
And, whatever may be said of the Adventists, this fact will not be denied, that hundreds of ministers who believed the coming and reign of Christ to be spiritual, have given up their mystical interpretation of the Scriptures, and have adopted the literal; consequently they are Adventists.
The Adventists were correct in their application of the prophetic symbols of Daniel and John.

 Goldstein Article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Adventist history shows that wherever we go, one of the first things we do is set up a press.
Though material had been printed after the 1844 disappointment (a Millerite preacher named James White and a flsmith named Heman Gurney printed 250 copies of a one-page, single-sided tract in April 1846, containing Ellen White's first visions), it was apparent by 1848 that a systematic, centralized, and organized means of printing needed to be established.
James White was all but penniless, and struggling to survive financially (his wife was pregnant with their second child), much less start a publication that would one day go like “streams of light” around the world.
