Branham called that the water way, correct baptism in Jesus’ Name – how in the world can you ever reconcile that Scripture, and one person making the Rapture and eight people making the ark, without coming to the conclusion of what we have preached as the authoritative Word of God this morning, vindicated by a vindicated prophet, that you cannot worship and serve God outside of a prophet, the beginning of righteousness is a distinctive true revelation from Almighty God, the church is built upon it.”
