The Message
Water Baptism
Water baptism is an outward act of obedience that shows an inward faith. It is done by full immersion in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, identifying the believer with His death, burial, and resurrection. Through baptism, a Christian declares they have turned from sin, died to the old life, and risen to walk in newness of life with Christ.
Godhead
The Godhead means who God is. The Bible teaches there is only one true God, not three separate persons. This one God revealed Himself as Father in creation, as Son in redemption, and as the Holy Spirit living in believers today. Jesus Christ is the fullness of God made visible—God Himself manifested in flesh to save mankind.
The New Birth
The New Birth is the spiritual transformation that happens when a person truly repents, believes the Gospel, and receives the life of Christ through the Holy Spirit. It is being born again from above—passing from death into life, becoming a new creation, with a new heart and a new nature to live for God.
The Original Sin
The Original Sin began in the Garden of Eden when Eve was deceived by the serpent and stepped out of God’s Word. According to the prophet, this sin was not simply eating a fruit, but an immoral act that brought forth a mixed seed, introducing death and corruption into the human race. Adam, by joining Eve in her fall, sold the whole creation under sin. From that time, every person has been born in sin and shaped in iniquity, needing redemption through the blood of Jesus Christ.
The Seven Church Ages
The Seven Church Ages describe the history of the Gentile church from the days of the apostles until the coming of Christ. Each age was represented in Revelation chapters 2 and 3, with a messenger sent to bring God’s Word for that age. The ages are: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea. Each one shows how the church moved through times of faith, persecution, compromise, and restoration. We are now living in the last age—Laodicea—marked by lukewarmness, but also the time when the Evening Light is shining to call the Bride back to the original Word.
The Seven Seals
The Seven Seals in the book of Revelation reveal God’s hidden plan for redemption. When Christ the Lamb opened the Seals, mysteries that were sealed up from the foundation of the world were made known. The first four Seals show the four horse riders—powers of deception that rode through the church ages. The Fifth Seal reveals the souls of the Jewish martyrs under the altar. The Sixth Seal brings judgment on the earth. The Seventh Seal is the coming of the Lord, the great mystery of His appearing for the Bride. Through the opening of the Seals, God’s Word is fully unveiled to prepare the Bride for the rapture.
Prophet Messenger
A prophet-messenger is a man sent by God with a special message for his generation. Just as each Church Age had a messenger who brought the Word for that age, the Bible promises a final prophet-messenger in the last days to restore the Church back to the original Word. In this age, God sent Brother William Marrion Branham with a vindicated ministry to reveal the mysteries hidden in Scripture, call the Bride out of denominationalism, and prepare her for the coming of the Lord.
The Rapture
The Rapture is the catching away of the true Bride of Jesus Christ before the great tribulation. At the sound of the trumpet, the dead in Christ will rise first, and the living saints will be changed into glorified bodies. Together they will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air and go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. It is the great hope of the Church, promised in Scripture, and it is prepared for those who walk in the revealed Word of this hour.
Women Ministry
The Scriptures teach that God calls men to the ministry of public preaching. Paul wrote, “I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man” (1 Timothy 2:12). A woman’s calling is not to be a preacher behind the pulpit, but to be a godly example in her home, to raise children in the faith, to support the ministry, and to serve in ways the Lord has appointed. The scripture confirmed that women can testify, pray, sing, and live the Gospel, but the pulpit ministry is reserved for men.
70 Weeks of Daniel
The 70 Weeks of Daniel is God’s prophetic timetable for Israel (Daniel 9:24–27). Each week represents seven years. From the command to rebuild Jerusalem until the coming of Messiah was 69 weeks (483 years). In the middle of the 70th week—after 69½ weeks—Christ was cut off at Calvary, fulfilling the sacrifice and causing the daily offering to cease. At that point, God paused the prophetic clock for Israel and turned to the Gentiles in the Church Ages. What remains is the last 3½ years, the final half week, when God will once again deal with the Jews through the ministry of the two prophets of Revelation 11. This will take place after the Bride is raptured, during the Great Tribulation, before Christ returns with His saints.
On Denominationalism
Denominationalism is the dividing of God’s people into man-made systems, creeds, and organizations instead of staying with the pure Word. We believe denominationalism is not of God but a trap of the enemy to separate believers, exalt traditions, and shut out further light from the Scriptures. Christ is calling His Bride out of all denominations back to the original faith of the apostles. True unity is not in joining organizations, but in being born again by the Holy Spirit and walking in the revealed Word for this hour.
Eternal Security
Eternal Security means that those who are truly born again and sealed with the Holy Spirit cannot be lost, because they are part of God’s eternal plan. We believe this is not a license to sin, but the assurance that the elect are kept by God’s power. A believer may stumble, but if he is a true seed of God, he will always be restored, for the Holy Spirit is the Seal until the day of redemption.
