Adventist teaching: Yes
Biblical teaching: Not stated
Ellen G. White, who the SDA Church upholds as divinely inspired and correcting of inaccurate interpretations of scripture, claimed that, after Satan was kicked from Heaven, an angel from Heaven was passing by and He [Satan] called him to entreat an interview with Christ which was granted to him. In this interview, Satan told Jesus that he repented of his rebellion, and wished again to have the favor of God. To which Jesus wept at Satan’s woe, but told him, as the mind of God, that he could never be received into Heaven.
She went on to claim that his repentance wasn’t sincere, it was only because he was frustrated about losing the sweet light of Heaven.
This is precisely how the SDA Church views her writings—they are the “lesser light” that sheds extra details onto the “greater Light” (ie: the Bible) that aren’t actually found in the Bible.
The Bible nowhere states, implies or even indicates anything close to this taking place. This is what we call an “Advent-ism.”
