Exposing Adventism -Describes her out of body (OBE) experience

Ellen White states that she had out-of-body experiences. Bible prophets such as Enoch (Hebrews 11:5), Elijah (2 Kings 2:1, 5, 10-11, 16-18), Ezekiel (Ezekiel 8:1, 3, 7, 14, 16), Philip (Acts 8:39-40) and Paul (Acts 12:1-5) were all bodily transported, but they never even hint at an out-of-body experience.
