Tamper Not With Hypnotism.--Men and women are not to study the science of how to take
captive
the minds of those who associate with them. This is the science that Satan teaches. We are
to resist everything of the kind. We are not to tamper with mesmerism and hypnotism --the
science of the one who lost his first estate and was cast out of the heavenly courts.
--MS 86, 1905. (MM 110, 111.)

These NLP hypnosis seminars are enthusiastically sponsored by these churches: Baptist, Methodist,
Adventist, Presbyterian, Latter Day Saints (Mormon), Lutheran, Church of Christ, Catholic, as well as
many other churches. Their purpose is seeking greater control of their congregations, and bringing inactive
members back into church fellowship (see L.E.A.D. Consultants, Inc., Training Schedule for 1988-89 and
1989-91).

The SDA church is most enthusiastic in pushing the training of its ministers and leaders in NLP
hypnosis!

In fact, the North American Division of the General Conference recommended:

"...that every pastor in the North American Division complete the 40-hour Lab School in Parish
Visitation Skills (Lab 1), and that selected pastors complete the additional 50-hour Instructor's
Training (Lab 2)." North American Division of Seventh-day Adventist Church, Strategy
Plans for Evangelism, #307-88n, Homecoming Emphasis During Year of Evangelism (1989),
p 2, Section 3d.

 Then the SDA church leadership stated:

"About 200 Adventists have been certified as trainers and are available at the present
time to help staff this activity." Ibid, p 2, Section 3d.

For those who would like to know who these "200 Adventists" are who were trained in Lab 2
hypnosis, please contact this website.

If a man, or a group of men become conscience for the whole group, you no longer have
the individual conscience. Men becoming "god" is also a teaching of Romanism. They say you
must be in harmony with the community of faith.

When wickedness is being done, and you are not protesting it, but, financially supporting it, what
account of your stewardship will you give in the day of God?

When we look at the parameters of the teaching of spiritualism outlined in the Spirit of Prophecy, it
is shocking to see how many of them are found in Adventism, dressed up. In The Great Controversy,
588, Ellen White makes it clear that in the end time, spiritualism will claim to be Christian. For many
years Seventh-day Adventists have felt immune to spiritualism because we understand the state of
the dead.  

Seventh-day Adventists are protected, for instance, from apparitions of the Virgin Mary because we
know who that is. However, Ellen White reveals that impersonating the dead is only one error of spiritualism. The primary tactic of spiritualism is calling evil good and darkness light. (See Isaiah 5.)
God¡¯s curse is upon those guilty of this. As a consequence, the distinction between righteousness
and sin is lost. http://www.stepstolife.org/php/view_article.php?article_id=903
