William Branham taught that there is One God who reveals himself in different ways. William Branham condemned both the Oneness and Trinitarian doctrines (even if they each had some element of truth) as departing from the Truth, which is outlined in the Scriptures, and often posed the following questions:

The following is a collection of quotes from the sermons of William Branham about the Godhead.   
William Branham presented an Apostolic perspective of the Godhead, that agreed with both the Old Testament and the New Testament teachings on the nature and revelation of God.  There is one God who reveals himself in three offices or manifestations of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  Jesus said ''"I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father."'' (John 16:28)  The same Pillar of Fire that met Moses in the wilderness met Saul of Tarsus and said ''"I am Jesus"'' (Acts 9:5).  Jesus was begotten of God the Father when he came into the world in the form of a virgin-born man, yet he appeared to Saul in the same form he was known in the Old Testament: he had returned to the Father.

It is also important to note that William Branham was '''not''' a dualist as he believed in One God, and did not accept that Jesus and the Father were two separate persons in the Godhead.  William Branham also did not believe in the concept of "eternal sonship", as every son is begotten (or has a beginning).
