Bro Branham taught that God is one, rejecting the idea of three individual gods or persons as pagan and a Catholic creed not found in Scripture. Evidence: [THE GODHEAD EXPLAINED — 61-0425B: ¶122–¶126; QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS — 54-0515: ¶210–¶216]
He described the Godhead as one God manifesting in three offices or dispensations: Father (Pillar of Fire), Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Ghost (indwelling believers), using analogies like a three-foot rule where each foot represents the same God. Evidence: [THE GODHEAD EXPLAINED — 61-0425B: ¶122–¶126, ¶157–¶162; QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS — 54-0515: ¶210–¶216; THE WATER BAPTISM — 61-0120: ¶128–¶130]
Bro Branham explicitly stated he was neither "Jesus Only" nor Trinitarian but a Christian, criticizing both sides for arguing instead of seeing the unity, and affirmed there is only one God ("Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is One"). Evidence: [THE GODHEAD EXPLAINED — 61-0425B: ¶122–¶126, ¶257–¶261]
On baptism, he explained Matthew 28:19's "Name (singular) of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost" reveals Jesus Christ as that Name (Emmanuel, "God with us"), aligning with Acts 2:38's "Lord Jesus Christ," rejecting "Father, Son, Holy Ghost" as titles or separate names while baptizing in Jesus' Name to honor the revelation. Evidence: [THE GODHEAD EXPLAINED — 61-0425B: ¶177–¶189, ¶197–¶234, ¶253–¶261; THE GOD OF THIS EVIL AGE — 65-0801M: ¶199–¶201]
"I am not a Jesus Only... I am not a Trinitarian. I’m a Christian... I do not believe that there is three individual Gods. I believe there is one God in three offices: Father, Son, Holy Ghost." [THE GODHEAD EXPLAINED — 61-0425B: ¶122–¶126]
"He was the Father, He was Son, He was Holy Ghost. You try to make three Gods, friend; it’s wrong; it’s error. There’s three dispensations that the tritheist got mixed up with." [QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS — 54-0515: ¶210–¶216]
"It’s not a trinity, three Gods. We don’t have no three Gods... There’s only one God... Hear ye, O Israel, I am the Lord your God. One God!" [THE GODHEAD EXPLAINED — 61-0425B: ¶257–¶261]
"Baptize them in the Name (N-a-m-e) of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost... Which one is the right name to baptize in? It’s one Name... Then what is the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost? Jesus Christ." [THE GODHEAD EXPLAINED — 61-0425B: ¶184–¶209]
