J Hamstra,
 You basically parroted the approach of the article. I posted the partial validity of it. Are you acquainted with the Kohlberg model? You post about "rare occasions". In life  and at church it is less rare. At a place of work the motivations are pay and being fired. SDA are worldly, insubordinate rebels. Why do you think preachers keep presenting sermons urging bible study and proper Sabbath observance..etc. Sermons are basically chew out sessions and inept shallow religious therapy sessions..
Also think of where Jesus said to the disciples, I no longer call you servants but friends. He is alluding to internal motivation.
The SDA denomination needs a wake up call & reality check. Members will continue to be Laodicean lukewarm losers as long as pastors & leaders are satisfied with "playing church."
