William Branham used this concept of the magnification of the law, among other things, to bring Old Testament law into the church, thereby going directly against Paul's teaching in the book of Galatians. | William Branham used this concept of the magnification of the law, among other things, to bring Old Testament law into the church, thereby going directly against Paul's teaching in the book of Galatians. | ||

The New Testament teaches no two-level or two-class Christianity. Nowhere in the Epistles do we read of Paul or Peter telling a church that is having problems, “''You all need to be baptized in the Holy Spirit''.” Nowhere do we hear of the risen Lord Jesus speaking to the troubled and weak churches in Revelation 2–3, “Ask me to baptize you in the Holy Spirit.” Clearly the two-level or two-class view taught by all of these groups throughout history does not have a solid foundation in the New Testament and neither does William Branham's teaching on the subject.<ref>Wayne A.
