Now, God sends minor Angels (That's right.), perhaps the One comes here. And some people will actually puff their mind up with Angels and things, who they think they have seen, and things like that. That's just the counterfeit. E-18 If a man has seen an Angel of God, and met God his commissioned, or that Angel commissioned him from God, and It was sent from God, it'll bear record right down to the line, that it's the truth. You believe that? But if it doesn't, it isn't the truth. That's one thing you can depend on, "By their fruits you shall know them." That's truth.
Now, notice this, that this Angel was Gabriel. Now, these minor Angels come; but when you see or hear of Gabriel coming, you get ready for something major fixing to happen. Gabriel was the One Who announced the first coming of Jesus Christ. Is that right? And we're taught in the Bible that Gabriel will announce the second coming. He will sound the trumpet of God (is that right?), the coming of the Lord, the Angel of God, Gabriel, Who stands at the--God's right hand.
God looked down through that Pillar of Fire, and with angered eyes. And when He did, the sea got scared and moved back like that, and made a dry path, and Israel walked through on dry ground. Take God at His Word.
Now, they had come away from all their crops. They had come away from everything they had. A little basket of kneaded bread on top of their head, they packed out, was eaten: no bread, nothing to eat.
Notice, David being a shepherd, the shepherd used to carry--carry a scrip bag on their side. And in this scrip bag they put honey. And when their sheep would get sick, they'd take some of this honey, and they would rub it on a rock. And the sick sheep would go over, go to licking on this rock, and while licking the honey off, he got the limestone off the rock, and the limestone healed the sick sheep.
And little John, as far as we know, had never received life. Elisabeth said, she was scared. It was six months with her, then with baby, with the baby, and no life. That's subnormal. That's altogether subnormal, about two or three months. And here it was six months, no life.
That was just the days when women begin to lose their grace, you know. And so, here she was, smoking a cigarette. I looked at her. I always had my opinion of a woman who smoked a cigarette, and I still have today. It's the lowest thing she ever done.

Never heard of him, and frankly, not interested in his lunacy.
Jesus H Christ and Good Gawd Almighty, these people make me so sad.

One weird dude. I never got much into the Pentecostal thing. I guess I was too much of Wesley tradition person. Maybe that's how I missed out of this guy.
One has to wonder if he had some kind of experience and let it go to his head and made more of it than it was or if he just got sent the wrong kind of experience, if you know what I mean ...
I've been a neurotic all my life. As a little boy there was something struck me, that scare me, about every seven years it would happen to me. Brother Jack remembers when I first started, come off the field for a year; something just happened.
Since a little boy, I always said I didn't know what a vision was. A little boy, I always said, "If I--if I'd only fall in one of those trance, and see that I'd get well." That time... I always wanted to go to Mayo's to find out what was wrong. The doctors there...
And you don't know what I've suffered; just mental oppression. Every seven years it's come, all my life. That's where I'm at now, seven eights.
The problem is that now it is a phenomenon around the world. Every day I hear more and more people talking about Branham being the prophet of this age. I am warning the rest of the people who don't know about it to watch out for it. And the truth is, I have seen some people on ATS who do say things that Branham said, but aren't saying yet they are Branhamites. There will be some who will eventually do that.
And they have been threatening lives of people who oppose Branham, that is why I am taking this serious stance. People need to know what is going on.

Yikes.
Thanks for bringing ATS' attention to this shyster. Shameful.
Disgraceful, and a(nother) wart on "organized religious Christianity's" nose.
If you see something wrong, you should speak up about it. Everyone should speak up against evil. But so many people are afraid to. That is why we have polemic political parties, no one wants to admit the sin in their own camp. But I am not afraid to say it, and maybe that is why other Christians don't think I am Christian enough for them.

Well, I couldn't say why they think that. (Unless you didn't renew your membership with sufficient tithing.)
But, I will tell you that I think you are a great Christian. Because you think, and study, and accept people.

One thing I did see in my searching was the idea that baptism makes you "dead to sin." Is that a common thing in Pentecostal teaching or just Branham? I think that's extraordinarily dangerous myself.
Baptism is just the acceptance of the Holy Spirit. The outward ceremony is nothing more than the symbolic show of the inward acceptance, but just because you have the Holy Spirit doesn't mean that it will stay with you or automatically make your immune to sin. It's a relationship like any in your life, and you have to work at it and renew it constantly to keep it strong. Part of that is the acknowledgment that we don't always behave perfectly in accordance with what God would wish (i.e. we sin).
The idea that baptism makes us dead to sin could be as bad as the idea that you can just be a Sunday pew Christian and do as you like the rest of the week and ask to be forgiven in Church on Sunday in that you are good with God no matter how abominably you behave after being baptized.
Am I wrong?

All the best cult leaders are suave.
It's a bit disturbing that his teachings are being kept alive though especially since his predictions have been proven false. Usually a cult dies with its founder. I wonder who's so invested in keeping it alive? That's the question ...
