-William Marrion Branham was seen by many in the Pentecostal and charismatic movements as one of the leaders of the healing revival that occurred during the 1940's and 1950's. He is viewed as a man who started well but whose ministry veered from Christian orthodoxy in its latter stages.
+William Marrion Branham was Christian minister whose healing ministry skyrocketed him from a rural pastor to an international evangelist.  His controversial teachings caused division in churches, and opinions of his legacy are divided into three main categories:
-Many view him as a charlatan; deceiving people with a false gift of healing; and, holding himself forth as a something that he was not.
+) Some believe him to be a major prophet of God.  There are two main groups of followers, although both believe his teachings to be inspired by God and consider him to be Elijah the Prophet in fulfillment of Malachi 4:5.  The first group views him as an infallible prophet who never made a mistake.  The second group accepts that he made mistakes, but holds that his "Thus Saith The Lord" teachings are infallible.
-A small minority believe him to be a prophet of God, like Elijah or Moses. A man who revealed the hidden mysteries of the Bible, foretold events leading up to the second coming of Jesus Christ, and who was the fulfillment of Malachi 4:5 and Revelation 10:7.  Some view him as infallible.  All of his followers believe his teachings to be inspired by God.
+) Many in the Pentecostal and charismatic movements see him as one of the leaders of the healing revival during the 1940's and 1950's, but also view him as a man whose ministry veered from Christian orthodoxy in its latter stages.
