Dale Ratzlaff Bio |
Dale Ratzlaff is a former fourth-generation Seventh-day Adventist pastor, author of four books on Adventist issues, national speaker, founder of Life Assurance Ministries, Inc. and founding editor of Proclamation!—a bi-monthly journal now sent free to about 30,000 homes. He is considered a leading authority on Adventist doctrine and practice, especially SDAs’ Sabbath, 1844 sanctuary doctrine, and teaching that the writings of Ellen G. White “…are a continuing and authoritative source of truth…”
Dale and Carolyn Ratzlaff left the Seventh-day Adventist ministry when they were forced to promise to teach all of the church’s Fundamentals of Belief. After through study, they felt they could not teach Adventist’s 1844 sanctuary, investigative judgment doctrine unless someone could show them how to get this doctrine from Scripture. Pastor Ratzlaff met with a number of other pastors, administrators and even the chair of the religion department at Loma Linda University School of Religion. No one was able to support this doctrine from the Bible and most admitted to pastor Ratzlaff in private, confidential conversations that it was impossible. However, most of these same leaders continued to support this doctrine in public meetings.
