I believe it was God with the man, personally. You cannot call Jesus Lord but by God's Spirit.

People flip out when people are used in the supernatural, like Branham, but go into error as Branham, did, too. Jesus said you can be justly used by God in the gifts, and yet he never know us. The gifts are without repentance. God is never sorry he gave them, despite people going into error later. Because of that, it's not offkey at all to say God genuinely used Branham.

And Rev 1:1 still stands as God using angels in the prophetic.

TW Barnes always believed highly about God using Branham.
I knew Branhamites up in Michigan, they believe he was God! So, it goes deeper than just what we have seen and heard. William Branham may have started off in the truth, but he erred greatly. The Bible says the gift blindeth the eye, just because a man is used in the gifts doesn’t mean he’s right with God.

I firmly believe angels are used in the prophetic.

Not sure what your point is here.

I said as much. Which is why it did not have to be a devil that was the angel he claimed was with him.

[QUOTE=mfblume;1589146]Not sure what your point is here.

I was giving a personal experience I had with some of his followers. My point is, even as we discourse about the man, his error went deeper than what we can understand. I believe is started off correctly, I believe he was used, yet he erred like so many have. There are followers of his to this day, they listen to his tapes on Sundays or Saturdays as there message, and they believe he was Jesus Christ on earth. Are all his followers like that probably not.

Jyde 11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.


All tree of these men are listed together, and we know twp of the three, Cain and Koreh, were right with God at one point but drifted away. Why not Balaam?

But that does not Address the point to whether or not God was using him through his life. As I said, and you seem to agree, that we can be not right with God but still used of God in a gift. We can even use a gift for the wrong purposes like calling fire down whicj James and John tried to do.

Weather Balaam was right with God at a time in his life, can be up for discussion. However, I also believe that a person can be used in gifts and not be saved. God uses who he wants to, I often say if God can use a donkey then he can use anyone.

2 Timothy 2:20
[20] But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

My point all along was that God can genuinely use someone who is not even saved. Hence, whether Branham was saved or not, it was God using him.

I have to question whether these men were right with God ever? You can be in the church or even around people of God and still not be right with God. All these men had something in their hearts that was not right, from the very beginning.
