Jesus has authority that Michael does not. If they were the same, they woulda always had the same authority. Scripture differentiates between them :
Jude:8 Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of dignitaries. 9 Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”
But JESUS reviled Satan!
John 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
So we see Jesus didn't hesitate to revile Satan, while Michael wouldn't do it, clearly showing they're separate beings, with Jesus being superior. The SDA notion that they're one & the same came from their guru, Ellen G. White.
