I'll go on record with this much - I believe in the Seventh-day Adventism that was during the life of Ellen G. White, not the "new movement" "structure" of this quote, but its "our" "remnant church":
The enemy of souls has sought to bring in the supposition that a great reformation was to take place among Seventh-day Adventists, and that this reformation would consist in giving up the doctrines which stand as the pillars of our faith, and engaging in a process of reorganization. Were this reformation to take place, what would result? The principles of truth that God in His wisdom has given to the remnant church, would be discarded. Our religion would be changed.The fundamental principles that have sustained the work for the last fifty years would be accounted as error. A new organization would be established. Books of a new order would be written. A system of intellectual philosophy would be introduced. The founders of this system would go into the cities, and do a wonderful work. The Sabbath of course, would be lightly regarded, as also the God who created it. Nothing would be allowed to stand in the way of the new movement. The leaders would teach that virtue is better than vice, but God being removed, they would place their dependence on human power, which, without God, is worthless. Their foundation would be built on the sand, and storm and tempest would sweep away the structure.

Just say no to the
red, and yes to the
blue. It has happened already. Thanks to Froom, Anderson, Read, Unruh, Figuhr, and predecessors (H. Camden Lacey, A.W. Spalding).
“We have no doubt, neither have we had a doubt for years, that the doctrines we hold today are present truth, and that we are nearing the judgment.” {E. G. White, Testimonies Vol. 2, p. 355. 1870}
Appearing from 1889-1914 in the SDA Yearbooks:
“As elsewhere stated, Seventh-day Adventists have no creed but the Bible; but they hold to certain well-defined points of faith, for which they feel prepared to give a reason "to every man that asketh" them.... (points of faith)
(Note: in 1872 a statement of beliefs was penned largely by James White in a 14-page leaflet entitled “A Declaration of the Fundamental Principles of the Seventh-day Adventists”, and it first appeared in the Signs of the Times issue of 1874. {The Living Witness, 1959, Pacific Press Publishing Association, pp. 1, 2} From there it was incorporated into the Yearbooks of 1889-1914. But, between the years of 1915-1930 there was no ‘Statement of Beliefs’ appearing in our Yearbooks. What happened in those years?)
“We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and
His teaching in our past history.” {E. G. White, Life Sketches, p. 196}
