[William Branham] was a heretic and a hoaxer and not to be trusted in any sense. He was under occult influence, and taught outright heresy. He said some true things about Rome but that does not make him a sound Gospel minister in any sense. There was no revival in SA under Branham and indeed there could not be, as he did not preach the true Gospel of the grace of God. We do have a taped set available entitled William Branham: Heretic and Hoaxer…

Dear Sir, the easiest way for one to find out if another truly stands on GOD’S WORD is to simply mention Brother Branham. You say he was not instrumental for revival in South Africa. You are sadly uninformed, mistaken or simply refuse to believe historic events. You would probably say that John G. Lake was also not instrumental for revival in South Africa [yes, that is exactly what we would say!– S.W.]. But such is so according to history during the time period of the founding of the Apostolic Faith Mission…. Brother John G. Lake received a higher experience, a richer glory in reception of the Holy Ghost after attending a meeting in the home of F.F. Bosworth. The credibility of F.F. Bosworth cannot be questioned by any man filled with God’s Spirit and F.F. Bosworth put his full approval on the ministry, words and works of brother William Branham. Now when God vindicates your words, spoken either in person or in printed material in accordance with Mark 16 – divine attestation – then you will still have no room to talk until you have room to talk better you keepth the ole trapeth shuteth Brother. God be merciful to you.

(If the reader found this letter difficult to follow he is not alone and in fact we “cleaned up” much of the letter before reproducing it here. The writer actually gave himself a different name when he wrote the second letter! Sadly his remarks are so typical of so many Pentecostals and Charismatics: if a favourite Pentecostal preacher says something or does something, then it is true, it is genuine, it is of God – and woe betide any man who dares question it! But in addition, this man is a disciple of the heretic William Branham, one of the greatest frauds of twentieth century Pentecostalism (and it is a movement filled with frauds). Branham, for a Branhamite, is the final authority. Everyone is judged according to what they think of Branham. Branhamism is a terrible, soul-damning cult. – Shaun Willcock)
I trust you are fit and well and am writing to thank you for the three articles on the Jesuits; I hope they will open the eyes of many people who are ignorant of the truth. I always read your articles with great interest, and in turn pass them on to whoever I think will benefit from them spiritually – including a few of my Catholic friends.
