There are a few things that William Braham taught that followers of William Branham simply do not believe in any practical sense. | |||
On the surface, message believers talk about perfect love, the water rising and the ducks swimming together, draw the circle bigger, put your arms around your brothers, and [[The Importance of a Right Spirit|having the right spirit rather than wrong doctrine]]. | |||
But in message churches, when their pastors preach to their congregations - it's all Cain versus Abel, [[Serpent Seed]], slam the 'foolish virgin', one-in-a-million, called-out of the church, denominations are of the devil, we are the elect, be not unequally yoked, and on it goes. | |||
When you shake hands with most message believers, you KNOW behind the smile, they'd sooner see your church crumble and you fall into the ditch. | |||
So many message pastors talk about "love" in the pulpit, while also preaching that everyone outside their doors are cannon fodder, whores, perverts and fools. They all know the quotes below but they mean nothing beyond lip service. | |||
We understand that this is a generalization and does not apply to everyone. But it does correctly characterize the nature of [[The Message|the message]]. | |||
What is important to note is that when a pastor will not articulate what he really believes to an outsider, that is a sign that something is terribly wrong. | |||

''“If I belong to the Assemblies of God, I'd be Assemblies of God. If I belong to the Foursquare, I'd be Foursquare. See? But '''I'd always want to reach my arms out for each one (See?), get them all together. See? That--that's it, fellowship one with another.''' That way I've been misunderstood.”<ref>LIFE_ SALEM_OR 07-19-62 Breakfast</ref> | ''“If I belong to the Assemblies of God, I'd be Assemblies of God. If I belong to the Foursquare, I'd be Foursquare.

''Reminds me of a fellow, one time, had some ducks, and he--he cut their wings so they couldn't fly out of a pen. He had some ducks on one side, and ducks on the other. Water begin to come in. The first thing you know, the water got higher and higher, and ducks got together then. See? That's what we need to do. Let the waters go to rising, and then the ducks get together, you see, then. '''And we're all in the same water. So, denominational barriers can be floated out, if we'll just let the waters get deep enough.''' | |||
''Like a man had a corn field. A fellow kept saying... He had one field, plants off this way; another one this way. And so a fellow flying over, every morning, would look at that cornfield. He said, "Isn't that a fine cornfield here, and one there!" After the corn got a little higher, reached all the way across the fence, it looked like one field. '''So I hope it gets that way here, that we're one great, big heart-to-heart cornfield for God's Kingdom.'''<ref>THE.IDENTIFIED.CHRIST.OF.ALL.AGES_ LOUISVILLE.MS WEDNESDAY_ 64-0401</ref> | |||
