Why did William Branham constantly point to himself as the only way to receive the Holy Spirit? In the end, that's where he ended up. Not the fruits of the Spirit, not simply believing and accepting the Spirit of Christ as was promised to all believers. You have to believe William Branham. Is that really scriptural? | Why did William Branham constantly point to himself as the only way to receive the Holy Spirit? In the end, that's where he ended up.
