Milian Lauritz Andreasen (June 4, 1876 – February 19, 1962), a Seventh-day Adventist theologian, pastor and author. was such a staunch non trinitarian that when he saw that statement in Desire of Ages he couldn’t believe that EGW wrote it. He went to her house in Elmshaven a decade later and only after that visit did he become trinitarian. Here’s his testimony:
“How astonished we were when Desire of Ages was first published, for it contained some things that we considered unbelievable; among others the doctrine of the Trinity, which was not generally accepted by the Adventists then. I was particularly interested, in the statement in Desire of Ages which at one time caused great concern to the denomination theologically: ‘In Christ is life, original, unborrowed, underived’ (p. 530). That statement may not seem very
revolutionary to you, but to us it was. We could hardly believe it. … I was sure Sister White had never written, ‘In Christ is life, original, unborrowed, underived.’ But now I found it in her own handwriting just as it had been published.” ML Andreasen
