Traveling back from East Conference my wife and I met some followers of William Branham at a Restraunt. Had a very interesting discussion about the essential ity of Jesus name baptism, Holy Ghost infilling, and serpent seed doctrine. The man was a pastor and while we did not agree on the doctrine of initial evidence, he did say that he had spoken in tongues at times in private prayer. I have always wondered how many followers of William Branham actually do speak in tongues.
We both werecourteous but firm in our positions and affirmed our agreement and appreciation each other's stance on Jesus Name baptism and Holiness. I was clear at one point that I believed William Branham to have been in error and believed that one had not been truly born again unless they had spoken in tongues.
For my first encounter with Branham believers I was impressed with their sincerity and congeniality. I'm praying they come to truth and I have a feeling they are praying the same for me! Lol
