William Branham's doctrine is a bridge between the Oneness and Trinitarian doctrines, sometimes agreeing with and sometimes challenging the conclusions of these established doctrines. 
In the sermon '''''[http://www.nathan.co.za/message.asp?sermonum=761 The Godhead Explained]''''' William Branham tells when he was confronted by the Assemblies of God (Trinitarian) and the United Pentecostal Church (Oneness) and forced to clearly define his doctrine.  At the end of their discussion, William Branham had both representatives acknowledge that the other had the Holy Spirit.  He then explained his method of baptism, which both representatives accepted. In this same sermon, William Branham tells of another confrontation with a UPC minister.  This minister said ''"You know what we are going to do? We are drawing a little ring and drawing you right out of our circle."''  William Branham responded, ''"If you draw me out, I will draw you back in."''

In the past, some Christians in positions of power have persecuted heretics (or anyone who disagrees with their own favourite doctrine). But persecuting heretics is as spiritual as stoning the good Samaritan.  The treatment of the Cathars at the hands of the Catholics, most notably in the massacre in Beziers in 1209 A.D., is a historic example of this persecution. 
The Apostle Paul wrote about people who ''"hold the truth in unrighteousness"'' (Romans 1).  He describes people who understand the Godhead correctly, but still choose to live a life of corruption.  Paul’s final description of these individuals is ‘unmerciful’, which is an apt description of Arnaud-Amaury, the Catholic ambassador to the Cathars of Bezier, who declared “Kill them all, the Lord will recognise His own.”
Jesus taught that only those who had a pure heart would see God (Matthew 5:8). Jesus’ zeal for the condition of the heart was matched only by his zeal for the Temple of God, driving out the moneychangers and saying, “My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” (Matthew 21:13) The temple was a place designed by God for worship, and is a symbol of Jesus Christ – through whom we have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
