No. This is the accepted position of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church on Ellen White's writings: "The writings of Ellen White are not a substitute for Scripture. They cannot be placed on the same level. The Holy Scriptures stand alone, the unique standard by which her and all other writings must be judged and to which they must be subject" (Seventh-day Adventists Believe . . . ,Ministerial Association, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Washington D.C., 1988, p. 227). Ellen White herself says: "God will have a people upon the earth to maintain The Bible, and the Bible only, as the
standard of all doctrines and the basis of all reforms. The opinions of learned men, the
deductions of science, the creeds or decisions of ecclesiastical councils, as numerous and
discordant as are the churches which they represent, the voice of the majority...not one
nor all of these should be regarded as evidence for or against any point of religious faith.
Before accepting any doctrine or precept we should demand a plain "Thus saith the Lord'
in its support" (Great Controversy, p. 595).

Why do the Seventh-day Adventists believe Ellen White is a prophet?
Seventh Day Adventists do not believe that Ellen White is a prophet. White herself didn't even refer to herself a prophet, and said that if people were to study their bibles, they would not even have to read her writings. Rather, Adventists think of her as women inspired by God. Some Adventists do not even read her writings, and prefer to only study and trust in the bible. So Ellen White is not a prophet. She was, rather, "a servant of God." Christ inspired through her, to give light and clarity about important issues such as "The great controversy," and "The health message," something that is very popular amidst the Adventists people.
