William Branham was incredibly confused in his understanding of God.  He tried to hold himself out as believing something that was between Oneness and the Trinity.  At times, he sounded like a modalist and at other times, like a Nestorian or Adoptionist.  As a result, some of his followers, in particular the followers of [[Vaylism|Lee vayle]], believe that Jesus was not God but a person with a dual nature (Nestorianism).  This doctrine is referred to in a derogatory manner by some message followers as the doctrine of the "Twinity".

Notwithstanding his statements to the contrary, the majority of the followers of William Branham believe that he fundamentally taught modalism and would therefore be considered adherents to Oneness theology.
