I had no idea there was such controversy surrounding DG. I have always thought of him as one of the greatest missionaries. Although I have heard all these negative things about him it still does not tarnish the work he's done for the Kingdom.
Mr Roqui11 just search on UA-cam. The General Conference of SDA and Ted Wilson "President" has disclaimed association with Pastor David Gates and claims "We the Seventh day Adventist Church..." (Wilson should keep his ignorant opinions to himself)"...are not affiliated in any way shape or form he's not "one of us". How about 19,000,000 million SDAs DISFELLOWSHIP Ted N.C. Wilson, as far as I know the psyco-babble dribble proceeding from Wilson's mouth has never led anyone to Accept JESUS CHRIST as Lord and Savior, like the thousands who have come to JESUS thru David Gates instruction.
As always it a great blessing to hear awesome Testimonies even amid preaching the Straight Truth. Thank the Lord for faithful watchmen who are giving the Trumpet a certain sound. However, they are few indeed. Sadly they are likened to “dumb dogs” and to “sleeping preachers” in our churches. Here what the Lord said in the following from the Bible and Inspiration: “10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. 11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.” (Isaiah 56:10, 11). Also, “Some of the ministers are asleep, and the people are also asleep; but Satan is wide awake. There is but little sacrificing for God or the truth. Ministers must set the example. In their labors they should show that they esteem eternal things of infinite value and earthly things as nothing in comparison. There are ministers preaching present truth who must be converted. Their understanding must be invigorated, their hearts purified, their affections centered in God. They should present the truth in a manner which will arouse the intellect to appreciate its excellence, purity, and sacredness. In order to do this, they should keep before their minds objects which are elevated and which have a purifying, quickening, and exalting influence upon the mind. They must have the purifying fire of truth burning upon the altar of their hearts, to influence and characterize their lives; then, go where they will, amid darkness and gloom, they will illuminate those in darkness with the light dwelling in them and shining round about them. (2T 336.2) A listless, unfeeling manner of presenting the truth will never arouse men and women from their deathlike slumber. They must show by their manners, by their acts and words, and by their preaching and praying, that they believe that Christ is at the door. Men and women are in the last hours of probation, and yet are careless and stupid, and ministers have no power to arouse them; they are asleep themselves. Sleeping preachers preaching to a sleeping people! (2T 337.2) A great work must be accomplished for ministers in order for them to make the preaching of the truth a success… (Testimonies for the Church Vol. 2 p. 337 par. 3). Verse: 1 “But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,..” (1 Thessalonians 5:1-9) May the Lord awake us and enable us to get ready Spiritually, Physically and Mentally as we also by His grace seek to share and warn others within and without.

Why pretend that the covenant made with the children of Israel, is a universal or eternal law? -Deuteronomy 5:3 Or pretend that Jesus observed the Sabbath? He routinely mocked the sabbath police, and explicitly told them... he was working. -John 5:17
Blessings on Br. Gates and family.

2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,..” (1 Thessalonians 5:1-9)
