Doctrinal/Biblical Issues with William Branham's Message Three holy words of the Bible Sex was not in God's original plan Woman was designed by Satan Water baptism The Godhead The Serpent's Seed Michael the Archangel God only deals with one prophet at a time, Noah started building the ark after he saw Enoch go in a Rapture Enoch was a type of the wise virgin, and Noah was a type of the foolish virgin A seven letter word ending in “ham” is evidence of a spiritual man.

The doctrine of progressive revelation Your Pastor will take you through. The Message is our Absolute. In other words - William Branham said it, I believe it, that settles it. The Pastor is our Absolute or Your Pastor in his Office is always right. Diminishing the Life and Ministry of Jesus Christ of two thousand years ago, as a result of Promoting the Jesus Christ of Today. The focus on the message, removes the focus from the bible. Rapturing Faith in on the Tapes. Don't question. Don't argue. Don't Debate. Don't Discuss. Just give them a message book. If they're Seed... The church is the wife, the husband is the pastor The KJV is the only inspired translation of the Bible. "programs" are of the devil, so no-one does anything to help others through the church. Missions are for people overseas, not the homeless down the street. It's OK to preach against other churches who don't have the mighty revelation. Deacons are glorified ushers and no longer redistribute wealth to the poor. There's no higher order to reveal the Word than a prophet. The following is a quote of Luke Gibson - that is an elementary teaching in this message and a close look at the scriptures will declare God always reveals His Word by prophets (Amos 3:7). Education is of the devil... but I know more than other Christians. Everyone outside the message is foolish virgin Things that William Branham taught message believers don't believe There are a few things that William Braham taught that followers of William Branham simply do not believe in any practical sense.
