Aquí tienes citas de Elena G. de White donde se menciona específicamente que los adventistas deben sanar o estar involucrados en la obra de sanidad:
1. “Let Seventh-day Adventist medical workers remember that the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Christ was the greatest physician that ever trod this sin-cursed earth. The Lord would have His people come to Him for their power of healing. He will baptize them with His Holy Spirit and fit them for a service that will make them a blessing in restoring the spiritual and physical health of those who need healing.”
(Testimonios para la Iglesia, tomo 9, p. 178.2)
2. “In the vision given me December 25, 1865, I saw that the health reform was a great enterprise, closely connected with the present truth, y que los Adventistas del Séptimo Día deberían tener un hogar para los enfermos donde pudieran ser tratados de sus enfermedades y también aprender cómo cuidarse para prevenir la enfermedad. Vi que nuestro pueblo no debería permanecer indiferente sobre este tema...”
(Testimonios para la Iglesia, tomo 1, p. 553)
3. “God is to be recognized and honored by the people calling themselves Seventh-day Adventists. In the past the truth has, to the honor of God, been proclaimed with convincing power by the physicians and helpers in our sanitariums. God will accept no less of you, but will expect far more. You and your associates are to labor on in faith and firmness to prevent decline and to ensure progress. There must be no narrowing down of your work, no concealing of the principles of truth; there must be a widening of the base of operations. Many plants must be made in different places. There is need of more zeal, more faith, more influence, of more active, spirited workers.”
(Testimonios para la Iglesia, tomo 8, p. 155.1)
4. “A special effort should be made to secure the services of conscientious, Christian workers. It is the purpose of God that a health institution should be organized and controlled exclusively by Seventh-day Adventists; and when unbelievers are brought in to occupy responsible positions, an influence is presiding there that will tell with great weight against the sanitarium. God did not intend that this institution should be carried on after the order of any other health institute in the land, but that it should be one of the most effectual instrumentalities in His hands of giving light to the world.”
(Testimonios para la Iglesia, tomo 4, p. 556.3)
