The Returned Ministry | The Returned Ministry (also referred to as "Return Ministry") sub-cult admits that there were unfulfilled visions at the time of William Branham's death. However, they are not prepared to admit that William Branham was not a true prophet. Their method of dealing with the unfulfilled visions is to hold to a doctrine that William Branham will return from the dead prior to the rapture to fulfill all of the visions that remain unfulfilled. | ||
