34 That’s the way it is with the true borned again experience of God. Man says there’s no such a thing as the baptism of the Holy Ghost. It shows he hasn’t got It. He trusts his creeds. We trust what God said. Now, what happens? You can’t stand neutral. You’ve got to be filled with something to survive. Notice, you might be filled with one thing over another. You say, “Brother Branham, I’m kind of on the fence.” No, you’re not. The Bible plainly says that all that was not sealed with the Holy Ghost received the mark of the beast. All that didn’t have the seal of God in their forehead, had the mark of the beast. You’ve got one of it now. I’d like to test it just a little bit and see where we’re standing. Oh, the mark of the beast, remember, is a religious mark. Certainly it is. And you might be filled with religion. You could have all kinds of religion. That doesn’t save you at all. You can just be a religious fanatic, if you want to be. Touch not, taste not, handle not, smell not. That don’t have one thing to do with the Holy Ghost. | |||

98 I can’t make Calvinism—just believe on the Lord and you got eternal security—and Arminianism, “That if I just touch not, handle not, taste not, I—I’d like to do it, but I can’t do it!”…Arminianism is too far away from Calvinism, and they both are wrong.

Quotes of William Branham
34 That’s the way it is with the true borned again experience of God. Man says there’s no such a thing as the baptism of the Holy Ghost. It shows he hasn’t got It. He trusts his creeds. We trust what God said. Now, what happens? You can’t stand neutral. You’ve got to be filled with something to survive. Notice, you might be filled with one thing over another. You say, “Brother Branham, I’m kind of on the fence.” No, you’re not. The Bible plainly says that all that was not sealed with the Holy Ghost received the mark of the beast. All that didn’t have the seal of God in their forehead, had the mark of the beast. You’ve got one of it now. I’d like to test it just a little bit and see where we’re standing.

You can just be a religious fanatic, if you want to be. Touch not, taste not, handle not, smell not. That don’t have one thing to do with the Holy Ghost. 58-0326 - United Under One Head

But we who believe, amen, know that…They say, “There is no such a thing as a sign. That, oh, oh, that’s nonsense. What they talk about up there, is crazy. Why, there is no such a thing. Why, you women there, oh, you—you, why, you don’t…What’s your dressing…?” It does. The Bible said so. “What’s your hair have any…?” The Bible said so. 383 That, that’s just the differences, see. “Touch not, handle not, taste not.” He is God. See? Now, it does mean something.
