1. Spasenje kroz učinak, uspešnost

„Oni su sadašnji život videli kao NEPREKIDAN I BESKONAČAN NIZ TESTOVA/PROBA KOJE SVAKI VERNIK MORA PROĆI. Na primer, posmatrali su parabolu o deset devica kao primer jednog takvog testa, dozvoljavajući da pet mudrih devica pređu na sledeću probu. Bio je to izuzetno individualno orijentisan PRISTUP KOJI JE VIDEO ŽIVOT KAO STALAN PROCES UKLANJANJA KOROVA. SAMO NEKOLICINA ODABRANIH JE MOGLA DA STIGNE U RAJ.“ (Ministry Magazine, The historical basis of Adventist standards, October 1989)

 „Gospod mi je jasno pokazao da će ikona zveri biti načinjena pre svršetka vremena milosti i probe. Ona će za Božji narod predstavljati VELIKI TEST KOJI ĆE ODLUČITI NJEGOVU VEČNU SUDBINU...“ Ellen White, {7BC 976.2}

„They saw the present life as a continuous and unending series of tests that each believer must pass. For example, they viewed the parable of the ten virgins as an example of one such test, permitting the five wise virgins to advance to the next test. It was an extremely individual-oriented approach that saw life as a constant weeding-out process. Only a select few could make it to heaven.“

Tested by the Image—The Lord has shown me clearly that the image of the beast will be formed before probation closes; for it is to be the great test for the people of God, by which their eternal destiny will be decided.... [Revelation 13:11-17 quoted.] ... 7BC 976.2
