“The “Declaration of Fundamental Principles Taught and Practiced by Seventh-day Adventists“ consisting of 25 propositions largely written by James White was published as a pamphlet at Battle Creek, Michigan. This laid down a clear non-Trinitarian foundation and is not replaced or changed in any way until 1931. These propositions contain neither the term “Godhead” nor “Trinity”. First year that the Fundamental Principles were actually published in the denominational annual Yearbook was 1889 and subsequently was republished in 1905, 1909, 1913, 1914 without any notable theological change.
Please note that 1914 was the last time the “Fundamental Principles” was published without any amendments to the 1889’s Fundamental Principles. It is of interest that at this time almost all the original pioneers who had labored in the raising of the foundation had passed away. Ellen White herself died in 1915.
From 1915 to 1930, the Fundamental Principles goes missing in the church’s Yearbook but in 1931, it was published again as the “Fundamental Beliefs” with notable changes.
Please download the original beliefs of Seventh-Day Adventist which was their guard and guide for many, many years.”
