5. Although William Miller admitted his mistake regarding October 22, 1844, EGW never did

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

Answer: This is true. After the Great Disappointment, William Miller admitted his mistake regarding Christ's returning on October 22, 1844, and he also gave up believing that October 22 had any prophetic significance. On the other hand, Ellen White never discarded her belief in the prophetic significance of the October 22 date, so she had no reason to admit a mistake had been made regarding the calculation, beyond the obvious fact that Christ had not returned that day. Several references showing her consistent position are given below. Resources: Ellen G. White, Spiritual Gifts, vol. 1, 1858, pp. 148-150. Ellen G. White, Spirit of Prophecy, vol. 4, 1884, pp. 251-257. Ellen G. White, The Great Controversy, 1911, pp. 403-408.
