:''I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.''

Finally, | Finally, William Branham considered himself immune from the judgement of the church and bases this position from the Old Testament and not from the New Testament: | ||
:''A prophecy has to be judged by two or three judges; a prophet is borned a prophet and raised a prophet. See? It's foreordained of God for that age.'' WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS_ SPOKANE.WA THURSDAY_ 62-0712 | |||
Paul clearly requires all prophets to be judged: | :''But there's a lot of difference between a prophet and a prophecy. A prophecy has to be judged by three witnesses (two or three) before it can be given or accepted in the church, according to the Scriptures. But a prophet, like the Old Testament prophet, they had the Word of the Lord. The translation was right to them. And they were known, because the Bible said, "If there be one among you spiritual or a prophet, I, the Lord, will make Myself known unto him, speak to him in visions, and reveal Myself in dreams. And if what this man says comes to pass, then hear him, for I'm am with him. If it doesn't, '''then don't hear him. I'm not with him.''' Don't fear him."'' JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY TODAY AND FOREVER TUCSON.AZ SUNDAY_ 61-0205E | ||
However, Paul clearly requires all prophets to be judged and makes no exceptions for so-called Old Testament prophets: | |||
:''Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. (1 Co 14:29) | :''Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. (1 Co 14:29) | ||
Based on William Branham's criteria, doesn't the occurrence of a single failure of a vision like [[George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge|the Municipal Bridge Prophecy]] require us to dismiss his prophetic ministry? | |||
