Ellen White's writings make it clear that leaders are not infallible. She repeatedly warns against placing unquestioning trust in human leaders, emphasizing that even those in the highest positions can make mistakes. Instead, she urges individuals to trust in God's wisdom and to test all teachings by the Word of God.
