William Branham always referred to "water, blood, and spirit" in that order and not "'the spirit, and the water, and the blood" as they are ordered in scripture.  He did this even when he appeared to be reading from the Bible:
William Branham always referred to "water, blood, and spirit" in that order and not "the spirit, and the water, and the blood" as they are ordered in scripture.  He did this even when he appeared to be reading from the Bible:


:''First John 5:7 tells you about that, “There are three that bear record in Heaven, the Father, the Word (which is Christ,) and the Holy Ghost.” And these three agree in one; they’re not one, but they agree in one. And there are three that bear record…  Or, “They are one,” I mean. '''I’m mistaken there. “And the three that bear record in earth, is the water, Blood, and Spirit, and they agree in one.”'''  You can be sanctified without being justified. And you can be justified without being sanctified. You can be sanctified without receiving the Holy Ghost.<ref>William Branham, 63-0320 - The Third Seal, para. 171-173</ref>
