If you take this doctrine to its ultimate and logical conclusion, then the last thing that William Branham said on any subject is the correct interpretation of that issue. | If you take this doctrine to its ultimate and logical conclusion, then the last thing that William Branham said on any subject is the correct interpretation of that issue. | ||

Arguably the most blatent evidence of this doctrine in action is Rev. Gerald Lush's re-written version of "A Man Sent From God" originally written by Gordon Lindsay.

=Is this doctrine scriptural?= | |||
While God's disclosure of Himself was a progression from the Old Testament era to the New Testament, nowhere in scripture does God correct Himself or change His mind. Even William Branham agrees with that - ''You say, "God changes His mind." He doesn't change His mind!'' (Modern Events are made clear by Prophecy, December 6, 1965) | While God's disclosure of Himself was a progression from the Old Testament era to the New Testament, nowhere in scripture does God correct Himself or change His mind.

==Does this "doctrine" apply to anyone else in the Bible?== | |||
One would think that if this applied to William Branham, it would also apply to other prophets in the Bible or at least have been referred to in the Biblical literature. | |||
For example, why don't we put less emphasis on the early writings of Paul (such as | |||
1 Thessalonians and Philippians) and more on the later ones (such as 2 Timothy and Titus)? | |||
The fact is that we don't have any incorrect doctrine in the Bible and this would seem, by this one fact alone, to exclude William Branham from being a prophet (in the sense used by message believers). | |||
