EGW had a way of showing up for a service and expose hidden sins be it a pastor with more than one family or someone who was embezzling from the church.
The immediate result would be the fear of God upon the congregation.
The word of knowledge is present in the prophetic writings of the OT.
God would speak in past, present and future, the prophecies would reflect that.

EGW's place is that of one holding the office of prophet for the SDA.
She would write based on past, present and future.
She would write on current and future problems facing the early movement and many of the things she wrote about are central to development of many SDA doctrines and practices that are presently being followed.

Interesting

I just read her main books
They send me to The Bible
They're the best commentaries I've ever read

Right now into The Acts of The Apostles (audio)

But that little book Steps To Christ
Whoa
I get something new every time I read it
and I've read it a few dozen times of late

I usually carry one in my pocket and hand it out when the opportunity strikes

I buy a couple dozen at a time
Lasts about a month

Most folks thank me
A few rejections, but that begets a conversation....

Watchman Nee held some non Biblical beliefs. He did not believe God made Adam and Eve perfect, sinless human beings. That foundation leads to multiple errors on his part. Ones like the Holy Spirit did not exist before Christ's incarnation and that Christ's spirit is the Holy Spirit. Scripture explicitly tells us differently.

I haven't read much further than that on his website but it is enough to put up some serious red flags. Both the Bible and Ellen White refute all such teaching.

A dedicated Christian? Yes. Error less. No.

Nee is/was more likely truthful than anyone on this forum can ever be.
Is that really true? How can you know people's hearts to that depth? Only God can read the heart.
