''BUT I DENY UPON THE INFALLIBLE EVIDENCE OF THE WORD THAT THERE IS MORE THAN ONE MAJOR PROPHET-MESSENGER WHO WILL REVEAL THE MYSTERIES AS CONTAINED IN THE WORD, AND WHO HAS THE MINISTRY TO TURN THE HEARTS OF THE CHILDREN TO THE FATHERS.  "Thus saith the Lord" by His unfailing Word stands, and shall stand and be vindicated. There is one prophet-messenger to this age. On the basis of human behavior alone, anyone knows that where there are many people there is even divided opinion on lesser points of a major doctrine which they all hold together. '''Who then will have the power of infallibility which is to be restored in this last age''', for this last age is going to go back to manifesting the Pure Word Bride? That means we will have the Word once again as it was perfectly given, and perfectly understood in the days of Paul. '''I will tell you who will have it. It will be a prophet as thoroughly vindicated, or even more thoroughly vindicated than was any prophet in all the ages from Enoch to this day, because this man will of necessity have the capstone prophetic ministry, and God will shew him forth. He won't need to speak for himself, God will speak for him by the voice of the sign.''' Amen.<ref>An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages - Chapter Nine - The Laodicean Church Age</ref>

''He told me if I get the people to believe me. That seems strange for me to have to say this, “You believe in me?” Said, “Aren’t you supposed believe God?” '''You must believe that. You must believe God and believe Christ, and believe the Holy Ghost. Then after believing all of them, God wants you to believe me.''' But then there’s something for you to do. Now, you can believe a man and still the gift won’t work for you. Reason today people believe in God. It’s still Jesus. Isn’t that right? He said, “As you believe in God, believe also in Me.” Did He say it? “As you have belief in God, you believe in Me.” That’s the only way He could help them, ’cause they believe. Now, I want you to believe me as one of them. But I want you to believe the day is coming and will to you…  And I’ll do all I can to help you.<ref>William Branham, 50-0300 - Gifts And Callings Are Without Repentance, para. 21</ref>


''And I want all you dear people, setting out in the audience there, I want you to believe me with all your heart. Now remember, that’s the only way I can help you. How many believes God? Let’s see your hands. How many believes the Son of God? Believes the Holy Spirit? That’s fine. That’s good.

But now, friends, you can believe that, which you have to, to be a Christian. '''You have to believe in God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost in order to be a Christian'''. '''But believing that still won’t help you in this gift.''' You’ve got to believe that I’ve told you the truth, not believe me as Them, but believe that They have sent me for this purpose.


''Now, you could be a renowned Christian, and fail to believe what I’ve told you to be the truth, and you’d never be able to reap a bit of benefit from it. Now, I’m sorry to have to say that, but it’s the truth.

'' When Jesus was on earth, the people that killed him, believed in God the Father, and were great worshippers of God. Is that right? But He could not help them, because they did not believe in Him. Is that right? And He said with His Own mouth, “As you have believed in God, believe also in Me.” Is that right?

:''I'm going to say this for my first time, over the pulpit [he'd actually already said it many times].
