We have shown clear examples where William Branham [[Plagiarism|plagiarized]] many of his key doctrines. It shouldn't be surprising therefore that Lee Vayle did the same thing. What is of great interest is that Lee Vayle used a number of pre-existing heresies to build on the teaching of William Branham. | We have shown clear examples where William Branham [[Plagiarism|plagiarized]] many of his key doctrines.

Here is a summary of his teaching from a former Vaylite: | |||
:''I grew up in a church that followed Lee Vayle in _________ from being a young kid through to adulthood. I remember Godhead being taught as the Father God being very separate and distinct from Jesus the son. We believed that God the Father came to indwell Jesus his son when he was baptised on the river making him the Christ , the anointed one. The Father and the Holy Spirit were seen as being one and the same. The Father was the Holy Spirit. | |||
:''William Branham's ministry was seen as being a repeat of Jesus Christ's ministry in that the Holy Spirit (God himself) came down and indwelt William Branham when he was on the platform; making God himself present in the body of the bride. Only William Branham, being the eyes of the body, could reveal the Holy Spirit himself. | |||
:''Every member of the bride had a baptism (or small measure) of the Holy Spirit but not the Holy Spirit himself, which was God the father. The Holy Spirit appearing on the platform through William branham was the 'parousia' or appearing of God before the physical return of the man Jesus. Anyone not recognising the presence of God himself on the platform did not have "rapturing faith" and was locked out of the rapture. It was likened to Abraham having to see Melchizedek before Sarah's body was changed. So the bride had to see God himself appearing amongst them to have a body change. | |||
:''Ugh. Thinking of all this nonsense has wound me up! What a lot of rubbish. So glad to be free! | |||
Lee Vayle was also known for his extremely vulgarity, to the point where he stated that it was better for a man to rape a woman than to seduce her. | |||
