It also makes manifest who among the living are abiding in Christ, keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus , and in Him, therefore, are ready for translation into His everlasting kingdom. This judgement vindicates the justice of God in saving those who believe in Jesus. According to Ellen White one must believe this doctrine to be saved. The subject of the sanctuary and the investigative judgement should be clearly understood by the people of God. Otherwise it will be impossible for them to exercise the faith which is essential at this time or to occupy the position which God designs for them to fill.
Every individual has a soul to save or to lose.
The intercession of Christ in man's behalf in the sanctuary above is as essential to the plan of salvation as was His death upon a cross. These passages make it clear that salvation is entirely by God's grace alone, apart from any works, and laid hold of by faith alone. Baptism is mentioned in close proximity to some of these passages, but the New Testament uses the word baptism in various ways. If a passage makes baptism essential to salvation it can only refer to the baptism of the Spirit, or it would conflict with other Scriptures which plainly teach salvation is apart from any human work. The quoted statements above, particularly Ellen White's, are crystal clear.
