In the days of his prominence, the 1950's, what Spirit-filled believer did not know [William Branham's] name? Yet today, we may wonder, what believer does? Robert Price in Douglas Weaver's The Healer-Prophet: William Marrion Branham
William Branham
William Marrion Branham's healing ministry skyrocketed him from a rural pastor to an international evangelist in the late 1940's. However, his visions and doctrine became increasingly controversial until his death in 1965.
Views on his legacy can be grouped into three main categories:
Some believe him to be Elijah the Prophet in fulfillment of Malachi 4:5. There are a myriad of sects within William Branham's followers, although they all refer to themselves as believers of the Message of the Hour. Many believe that William Branham's every word was infallible, while the second will admit that he did make some minor errors but he was infallible with respect to his visions, prophecies and his interpretation of the Bible.
Some view him as a great evangelist and gifted healer who strayed from Christian orthodoxy in the latter stages of his ministry.
Some view him as a charlatan who was either willfully deceptive or had untreated mental health concerns.
