 William Branham taught that in the last days there would be people who were anointed by the true Holy Spirit but were not Christians.  Is this teaching biblical?

+=What William Branham taught=
+In his sermon, The Anointed Ones At The End Time (65-0725M), William Branham quoted Matthew 24:24:
-William Branham, in his sermon, develops an argument through reasoning with the scripture, that his doctrine of "false anointed ones at the end time" is correct.  The following is a summary of William Branham’s teaching on the subject taken from his sermon of July 25, 1965 entitled “The Anointed Ones at the End Time”:
+:''For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great bsigns and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.<ref>New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), Mt 24:24.</ref>
+He then stated:
+“Do you believe that that anointing on those people means that it’s the anointing of the Holy Spirit?” Yes, sir, the genuine Holy Spirit of God upon a person, and yet they are false. Now listen close and see what He said. “And they shall show signs and wonders, insomuch that it would deceive the very Elected if it were possible.” And they are anointed with the genuine Holy Spirit. I know this sounds very foolish, but we’re going to take time and explain it by the Word, that that’s absolutely THUS SAITH THE LORD, the Truth.<ref>William Branham, 65-0725M - The Anointed Ones At The End Time, para. 28</ref>
+William Branham provided examples of people in scripture who he believed had the spirit of God but who were false:
+*Balaam
+*Jannes and Jambres
+*Zedekiah
+*Hananiah
+*Caiaphas
+Surprisingly, his examples are all Old Testament.  He based his interpretation on the following New Testament scriptures:
+*Matthew 24:24, 28
+*Matthew 5:24, 45
+*Matthew 7:21
+*Luke 18:1-8
+*John 14:12
+*Ephesians 1:5
+*2 Timothy 3:8
+*Hebrews 6:1-8
+*2 Peter 2:15
+*Jude 9
+*Revelation 16:13-14
+He also mentioned a couple of passages for the sole purpose of pointing to himself:
+*Luke 17:30
+*Revelation 10:1 to 7
+The reasoning behind is doctrine is:
 #Matthew 24:24 states that “false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.”
