"This statement holds its force in all ages. On the church has been conferred the power to act in Christ's stead. It is God's instrumentality for the preservation of order and discipline among His people. To it the Lord has delegated the power to settle all questions respecting its prosperity, purity, and order. Upon it rests the responsibility of excluding from its fellowship those who are unworthy, who by their un-Christlike conduct would bring dishonor on the truth. Whatever the church does that is in accordance with the directions given in God's word will be ratified in heaven. 7T 263.3"
"Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
EGW directly references the power of the church to act in Christ's stead and that its decisions, when aligned with God's word, are ratified in heaven, which is a clear allusion to Matthew 18:18.
"Matters of grave import come up for settlement by the church. God's ministers, ordained by Him as guides of His people, after doing their part are to submit the whole matter to the church, that there may be unity in the decision made. 7T 263.4"
"And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter."
Both passages discuss the importance of church leaders and members coming together to make decisions. The EGW passage amplifies the principle of unity in decision-making within the church, echoing the example set in Acts 15:6.
