That’s a lot of anti-trinitarians for a church that believes in the Trinity.
When you pour in an alien definition of what the Trinity is…
…Any group can claim to believe in the Trinity.
I see you’ve pulled from the SDA Church official website…
…That’s good.

- Trinity:
There is one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a UNITY of three co-eternal Persons. God is immortal, all-powerful, all-knowing, above all, and ever present. He is infinite and beyond human comprehension, yet known through His self-revelation.
SDA’s don’t believe in Three Divine Persons in ONE Substance…
…They believe ( now ) Three separate Persons, three separate substances.
…That are united in purpose & character - NOT Substance.
Seventh-day Adventist Review & Herald
A plan of salvation was encompassed in the covenant made by the Three Persons of the Godhead,
who possessed the attributes of Deity equally. In order to eradicate sin and rebellion from the universe and to restore harmony and peace,
one of the divine Beings accepted, AND
entered into, the role of the Father, ANOTHER
the role of the Son.
The remaining divine Being, the Holy Spirit, was also to participate in effecting the plan of salvation. All of this took place before sin and rebellion transpired in heaven. By accepting the roles that the plan entailed, the divine
Beings lost none of the powers of Deity. With regard to their eternal existence and other attributes, they were one and equal. But with regard to the plan of salvation, there was, in a sense, a submission on the part of the Son to the Father."

Now, does THAT sound like the Trinity to you?
…You see how easily an SDA religious instructor can teach the above while subscribing.
…To “Trinity #2”.
CMatt25:
- Father:
God the eternal Father is the Creator, Source, Sustainer, and Sovereign of all creation. He is just and holy, merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. The qualities and powers exhibited in the Son and the Holy Spirit are also revelations of the Father. (Gen. 1:1; Rev. 4:11; 1 Cor. 15:28; John 3:16; 1 John 4:8; 1 Tim. 1:17; Ex. 34:6, 7; John 14:9.)
Yes, according to Ellen White and the other co-founders of the religion - Christ…
…Had to “tow the rope” otherwise ‘God’ would have eternally annihilated Christ.
…Make no mistake, The Father “conditionally” allowed Christ to be ‘God’.
Ellen White, Signs of the Times, June 9, 1898
Had the head of Christ been touched, the hope of the human race would have perished.
Divine wrath would have come upon Christ as it came upon Adam. Christ and the church would have been without hope.”
Ellen White
Though Christ humbled Himself to become man, the Godhead was still His own. His Deity could not be lost
WHILE He stood faithful and true to His loyalty.

Of course IF Christ wasn’t loyal to The Father His conditional deity would have been extracted…
…And creature Christ rots in the tomb - game over.
Ellen White
The new tomb enclosed Him in its rocky chambers.
If one single sin had tainted His character the stone would NEVER have been rolled away from the door of His rocky chamber, and the world with its burden of guilt would have perished

The above and a whole host more is simply the same old Arianism that Ellen White was around since her youth…
Review and Herald November 14, 1854
Again, where it is declared, that there are none good except the Father, it cannot be understood that none others are good in a relative sense; for Christ and angels, are good, yea perfect, in their respective sphere;
but that the Father ALONE is supremely, or absolutely, good;
and that he ALONE is immortal in an absolute sense; that he alone is self-existent; and, that, consequently, every other being, however high or low, is absolutely dependent upon him for life; for being. This idea is most emphatically expressed by our Savior himself; " For as the Father hath life in himself, so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself." John v, 26. This would be singular language for one to use who had life in his essential nature, just as much as the Father. To meet such a view, it should read thus: For as the Father hath life in himself, so hath the Son life in himself If as Trinitarians argue, the Divine nature of the Son hath life in himself (i. e., is self existent) just the same, and in as absolute a sense, as the Father
Ellen White, Review and Herald, Jan 14, 1909
We are to be partakers of knowledge. As I have seen pictures representing Satan coming to Christ in the wilderness of temptation in the form of a hideous monster, I have thought, How little the artists knew of the Bible! Before his fall,
Satan was, next to Christ,
the highest ANGEL in heaven

I could go on but have we not talked about these things previously?
