“The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, heaven without hell.”
― William Booth

Times haven’t changed. People always are apt to remove Jesus Christ out of the church. First thing to go is people receiving the Holy Ghost with the initial evidence of tongues.

Really? I thought holiness was the first to go.

Is that with or without the preaching of the same? I witnessed many churches along the way that preached the evidence but very rarely saw it actually happen other than the children of the parents. Yes many visitors but seldom if ever did anyone actually get to that point.

I was sitting near Bishop Larry Booker the other night when he said that the first sign of William Branham going backwards was when he began preaching you can get the holy ghost without tongues...

I was also told the Michigan district of a certain one was organization is now questioning when someone recieves the holy ghost. The doctrine being discussed is they receive the hg at baptism.

Sad stuff. I recently had a conversation with Bro Booker about Branham too. He said that he made light of Jesus name baptism right before he was killed. I do know that his followers today do not believe in the initial evidence doctrine at all. Their evidence for HG baptism is whether or not you believe Branham’s message.

I cannot imagine how someone who has received the Holy Ghost baptism would begin questioning when it happens! It further supports my belief that much of “Pentecost” is getting a counterfeit Holy Ghost because they are counterfeiting repentance.
