Re: Branham - light doctrine
I'm attempting to verify the following:
The Bride:
- A select group of believers who have received a special revelation or "light" from God (Reference: "The Seven Church Ages", December 1960)
- The "Bride" is the "New Jerusalem" and the dwelling place of God (Reference: "The Seven Church Ages", December 1960)
- They will sit with Christ on the throne and rule with Him (Reference: "The Seven Church Ages", December 1960)
- They will be fully glorified and transformed into the likeness of Christ, with a spiritual body that will never die (Reference: "The Seven Church Ages", December 1960)
- They will minister healing and restoration through their role as the "leaves" of the Tree of Life (Reference: "The Seven Church Ages", December 1960)
The Church:
- A larger group of believers who have not received the same level of revelation or "light" as the "Bride" (Reference: "The Seven Church Ages", December 1960)
- They will be subject to the "Bride" and will not have the same level of authority or position (Reference: "The Revelation of the Seven Seals", March 1963)
- They will still be immortal, but not to the same degree as the "Bride" (Reference: "The Revelation of the Seven Seals", March 1963)
