    Quotes of William Branham

    34 That’s the way it is with the true borned again experience of God. Man says there’s no such a thing as the baptism of the Holy Ghost. It shows he hasn’t got It. He trusts his creeds. We trust what God said. Now, what happens? You can’t stand neutral. You’ve got to be filled with something to survive. Notice, you might be filled with one thing over another. You say, “Brother Branham, I’m kind of on the fence.” No, you’re not. The Bible plainly says that all that was not sealed with the Holy Ghost received the mark of the beast. All that didn’t have the seal of God in their forehead, had the mark of the beast. You’ve got one of it now. I’d like to test it just a little bit and see where we’re standing. Oh, the mark of the beast, remember, is a religious mark. Certainly it is. And you might be filled with religion. You could have all kinds of religion. That doesn’t save you at all. You can just be a religious fanatic, if you want to be. Touch not, taste not, handle not, smell not. That don’t have one thing to do with the Holy Ghost. 58-0326 - United Under One Head


    98 I can’t make Calvinism—just believe on the Lord and you got eternal security—and Arminianism, “That if I just touch not, handle not, taste not, I—I’d like to do it, but I can’t do it!”…Arminianism is too far away from Calvinism, and they both are wrong. I’ve got to see where…They both got Scriptures, but it’s got to hit the target. Now, if God said one thing in this Bible, it’s got to hit the target; it’s got to make every ring in that Bible come right straight down to that bull’s-eye. It’s got to do it, because It’s God’s Word; and He’s infinite, and It can’t change. Amen! I love that, ’cause then you can rest perfectly satisfied that It’s God’s Eternal Word. And therefore, I try to study It from different Scriptures to make It—see what It would say. All right.

    382 Don’t go to them churches and join them old dead works and things like that, ’cause they don’t even believe in such things as sign. But we who believe, amen, know that…They say, “There is no such a thing as a sign. That, oh, oh, that’s nonsense. What they talk about up there, is crazy. Why, there is no such a thing. Why, you women there, oh, you—you, why, you don’t…What’s your dressing…?” It does. The Bible said so. “What’s your hair have any…?” The Bible said so. 383 That, that’s just the differences, see. “Touch not, handle not, taste not.” He is God. See? Now, it does mean something.

    He even give them a law, “Touch not, handle not, taste not.” Just not because of the evil of doing it, but the evil of disobeying what He said do. And there’s always cannot be a law without a punishment for law. Because, if there’s no punishment, then, law is not much to it unless it has a penalty. The law! 33 Now, we find, what they did in that day seems to parallel what we are doing today, what the church people are doing.
