Believe the Sign (BTS), Seek the Truth (STT), and other ministries to Message Believers and ex-Message believers: Tell the Truth!

You are encouraging Message Believers (MB) to walk in darkness when you welcome and encourage them as fellow believers in Jesus Christ while they openly reject the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. You do the same to ex-MBs who continue to reject the Trinity after leaving the Message. Do you not realize that you're enabling them to worship a different Jesus?

I believe the Bible portrays God's two greatest revelations to mankind as these:

1. The revelation of Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit; Three persons in one Divine being, as affirmed to us in His Word.
    
2. The revelation of our salvation based on His triune nature, that the Father has called us to Jesus Christ His Son, Whose death made our salvation possible through the regenerative power of the Holy Spirit.

Since the Fall in Genesis, God has been in a process of progressively revealing Himself and His plan of redemption to those who love Him. This revelation of Himself and His plan culminated at the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Until then, we only had a partial knowledge of Who God was and how we could be saved. Now the mystery has been fully revealed (though not fully understood—we will never fully understand our infinite God). No born again believer in Jesus Christ will knowingly reject this twofold revelation of God through His Word. 

There is no place in Scripture where God gives man the prerogative to give Him names other than what He has given us in His Word. Likewise, there is no place in Scripture where we find our prerogative to define the terms of our salvation outside of what He has told us in His Word.

The Church's revelation of God's triune nature is that which defines Christianity. It is what defines Christians.  It's what sets Christianity apart from all other religions. One cannot be a Christian without it.

William Branham denied these two extremely important revelations.  He denied the biblical triune nature of God, saying it was “of the devil.” He claimed that God is one person, and that the Son is a creation of God in whom God lived. 

While presumably identifying God’s biblical name, William Branham repeatedly referred to Him as JVHU, JUVUH or even YAHU (once, he called Him JUVH, then immediately corrected himself, saying, “JVHU, I mean”). None of those represent God’s biblically revealed name. God revealed His name in Scripture as YHWH (or an English equivalent, JHWH). Was WMB's just an honest mistake? Honest or not, WMB renamed God. WMB did not know the biblically revealed name of God. It seems providential that God would allow him to make such a mistake so we would know that he couldn’t have known God personally.

WMB also renamed God when he said the Father’s name is Jesus. He said that when Jesus' claimed to have come in the Father's name (John 5:43), He was saying that the Father's name was Jesus and the Son was therefore named after Him. Of course, Jesus was saying that He came in the Father's authority, not that He was named after the Father. Furthermore, the Bible never refers to the Father as Jesus. That name is always reserved for the incarnate Son (Philippians 2:10; Matthew 1:21).

The nature of WMB’s god differed from the biblical revelation of God. He believed Jesus was a creation of God, and not in and of Himself the actual incarnate God. In believing such, WMB’s salvation was based on the death of a mortal man—not the incarnate God Himself (he said, “The Spirit left Him in the Garden of Gethsemane; He had to die a man.” [“Rising of the Sun,” sermon #65-0418M]). The book of Hebrews constantly speaks to the Divine nature of the man, Jesus Christ, and how the blood of creatures cannot atone for sins (Hebrews 10:4). 

William Branham’s gospel denies that Deity was made flesh in order to die for our sins. WMB's gospel is based on the shed blood of a created being rather than the blood of the incarnate God. WMB's gospel does not affirm that Jesus Christ was God made flesh, but rather that Jesus was a man who God created to live in. The sacrifice of a mere part of creation, separate from Deity, is insufficient to forgive sins. Only God Himself, incarnate in human flesh, is capable of atoning for the sins against an infinitely holy God (Romans 5:8).

BTS, STT and others: you are making a very serious mistake. The mistake is in assuming that MBs and exMBs who continue to deny the Trinity are fellow believers in Jesus Christ. You make the mistake of thinking that the Jesus of the Message is the same Jesus of Christianity and that faith in William Branham’s Jesus can save people from their sins. You make the mistake of confusing a false gospel for the true Gospel. Remember, the two greatest revelations God has given us are the revelation of His triune nature, and the revelation of the forgiveness of our sins made possible only through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the second person of our triune God. MBs and other non-Trinitarian "Christians" find this offensive. Why shouldn’t they if they don't believe in the Christian God? Their reaction to God’s triune nature should cause us to reach out all the more diligently with the true Gospel of the real Jesus Christ (see, The Gospel).

Another flagrant mistake many of you make is in assuming that MBs and former MBs are not really rejecting the true doctrine of the Trinity, but a straw-man depiction of the Trinity they learned from WMB. You say that since they don't properly understand the doctrine of the Trinity, they cannot be guilty of rejecting it. That is bogus. That excuse overlooks WMB's rationale for rejecting of the Trinity in the first place, which is that 3 Persons in one God is impossible, so Trinitarianism amounts to worshiping 3 gods. Whether or not MBs understand the Trinity correctly, they are still rejecting it because their view of God is in itself a rejection of the tri-personal nature of the one true God.

My fellow former MBs, do you believe in the triune Christian God? Do you believe that God's very being is 3 persons in one substance? Do you believe that,

"The Trinity is a mystery which cannot be comprehended by human reason, but is understood only through faith and is best confessed in the words of the Athanasian Creed, which states that we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity, neither confusing the Persons, nor dividing the substance that we are compelled by the Christian truth to confess that each distinct person is God and Lord, and that the Deity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is One, equal in Glory, coequal in Majesty."
The Lutheran Satire

If God has truly revealed Himself in His Word as triune in His very nature, then who are you, Believe the Sign and Seek the Truth, to presume it's not an essential Christian doctrine? Who are you to suggest the doctrine of the Trinity is a secondary issue by your acceptance of this heresy as a viable option for knowing who God is? Since when did the discussion of whether or not God is three persons in one divine substance become a debate among born again believers? Who are you to proclaim the Gospel to MBs and ex-MBs without stressing the importance of the purpose and work of each Person of the Trinity through the incarnation, life and work of Jesus Christ? Who are we to assume that people who knowingly reject God as He has revealed Himself, are brothers and sisters in the True and risen Christ? Why did Jesus say things like,

"If you knew me, you would know my Father also.” (John 8:19b)

"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." (John 10:27)

"All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him." (Matthew 11:27)

“This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." (John 17:3)

Finally, what were you thinking when you presented a "Tribute" to Pearry Green?? One of the most influential apologists for the Message outside of William Branham himself!
