From a supposed "Branhamite"

Greetings precious brothers & sisters in Christ. The church you are speaking of is one of the finest groups of believers in the world. Rev. Joseph Hamid, who's father was killed in missionary service, is one of the finest and most moral of men I have ever met.

I am 4th generation Apostlic, my grandmother being Sis. Lois Gatlin Terrell. However, I too heard Bro. Branhams message some years ago and I will say that everything I have read on this thread proves how utterly ill informed the Apostolics are about Bro. Branhams ministry.

I have noticed sincere posters here that are genuinely asking questions about what we believe and why. First, I will never be follow anyone to the gutter of argument.. However, I shall be more than happy to respectfully debate our beliefs. No Christian should ever be afraid of friendly dialog. Even Paul and Peter had doctrinal differences and yet loved one another.

Lesson # 1 - We despise the term "Branhamites" it is so disrespectful to us, as we DO NOT FOLLOW BRO. BRAHNAM, we follow the WORD & the REVELATION that Bro. Branham brought to us, we follow CHRIST, the WORD.

This would be like people calling the Apostolics "Beanites" because they endeared Bro. Verbal Bean as a Prophet.. to this day my grandmother says "Bro. Bean told us such and such" yet she's not a "beanite" she simple reveres the message be brought to the Apostolic church.

Again, I make myself available to answer any "resepctful" question or dialog you seek to engage in.

Blessings
Bro. Vaughn,

Bro. Vaughn,
Your parent is who? I knew your grandmother and I am close friends to the Boyds.
I would love to discuss the Branham doctrine with you Biblically would you want to?
I was in that deception for nearly a decade in my youth. I would not want to disrepect you un honor of your grandmother. But I can be quite pointed on this subject.
