 :''Amen, it's not just a story.  This message has made the Bible come alive. '''You take this messenger away from the Bible, the Bible's a dead book.'''  You tell me, "Where's the Moses-Exodus type?"  You tell me,  "Where's the Joshua going into the new land type?"  You tell me,  "Where's Elijah and on 400 on Mount Carmel with 400?"  Every type this message types, take it away and you got a dead letter.  You should be thankful this morning for a Living Word.  Amen?  That's come through a mouth of a prophet.”<ref>Thomas A.

+=Questions to ask message followers=
+Here is a list of questions that you can ask a follower of William Branham to test whether they put the message ahead of the Bible:
+#Do you believe that William Branham was '''one of the greatest prophets of all time'''?
+#Do you believe that as the seventh angel, '''William Branham could not make any significant doctrinal errors''' because the purpose of his ministry was to reveal all of the hidden mysteries of God?
+#Is there anything that William Branham taught that disagreed with the Bible?
+#Do you believe (as William Branham taught) that '''the only true evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit is believing the Word for your hour'''?  This refers specifically to '''the teachings of William Branham'''.  As a result, if you think that William Branham's message has any significant errors, to a message believer this proves that you don't have the Holy Spirit.  But '''if you believe what William Branham taught, then you have the baptism of the Holy Spirit.'''
+#Do you believe that "'''''the message is Jesus Christ'''''"?
+'''If they answer "yes" to any of these questions, they are actually putting William Branham's message above the Bible, whether they admit it or not.'''
+How can we say that?
+#Virtually all message believers will state that William Branham was one of the seven church age messengers and, therefore, at least the equal of Paul the Apostle.  In addition, they generally believe that his ministry as the [[Revelation 10:7|Seventh Angel]] puts him in a league '''above all the other church age messengers'''.  This statement in and of itself is '''puts William Branham's message above the Bible'''.
+#'''A message believer does not have the option of disagreeing with William Branham''', except possibly in respect of a relatively few minor issues.
+#Some message followers believe that to the extent that William Branham did make any significant errors, '''God corrected him before he died'''.  This has resulted in the doctrine of [[Progressive Revelation]], which basically states that if William Branham taught different things about a subject, one should rely on his last teaching on the issue.  But almost all message believers would agree that William Branham did not make any doctrinal errors
+#If presented with a clear teaching in the Bible that disagrees with William Branham, message followers will '''always accept William Branham's teaching''' and never that of the Bible.
+'''As a result, it is clear that the vast majority William Branham's followers hold his teachings above that of the Bible.'''
+In the Psalms 138:2, David says:
+:''I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for '''you have exalted above all things your name and your word.'''<ref>The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Ps 138:2.</ref>
+Anyone that exalts William Branham or his message above the Bible goes against God himself.
