Bro Branham taught that God never offered a creed or denomination but a Kingdom, challenging anyone to show biblical support for denominations while he could show commands against yoking with unbelievers. Evidence: [THE FALLING APART OF THE WORLD — 62-1216: ¶187–¶190]
He viewed denominational systems as falling apart like worldly politics, producing Pharisees and hindering true anointing by pulling believers from the Eternal Word, contrasting them with the unmovable Kingdom of God; the World Council of Churches was a devilish, anti-Christ setup like Babel. Evidence: [THE FALLING APART OF THE WORLD — 62-1216: ¶196–¶199]
Denominations differ from the true Church by departing from the apostolic foundation to man-made creeds, worldly pleasures, and systems off the Word; as soon as a church denominates, it opposes the Word, while the true Church is a fellowship of believers without domination. Evidence: [WHY ARE WE NOT A DENOMINATION? — 58-0927: ¶15–¶17]; [THE WAY OF A TRUE PROPHET OF GOD — 62-0513M: ¶303–¶309]
Organization hinders the Word by segregating brotherhood, directing minds wrongly through systems rather than Light, and refusing Holy Ghost baptism for prestige; he condemned systems (not individuals) and avoided denominations to stay with the Word alone. Evidence: [QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS — 64-0830M: ¶38–¶39]; [WHY ARE WE NOT A DENOMINATION? — 58-0927: ¶15–¶17]
God never offered us a creed. He never offered us a denomination. I want somebody to show me in the Bible where He did. I can show you where He told you not to do it.
[THE FALLING APART OF THE WORLD — 62-1216: ¶187–¶190]
Not a politicianal system, not a political system, not a church system, not a denominational system; it all becomes Pharisees and doctors of the devil. But we receive a Kingdom...
[THE FALLING APART OF THE WORLD — 62-1216: ¶196–¶199]
We are an organization... but we’re not in a denomination. No one is going to dominate over us... It’s just an organization, a fellowship amongst Christian believers.
[WHY ARE WE NOT A DENOMINATION? — 58-0927: ¶15–¶17]
As soon as the— the church denominates, it’s off the Word right then.
[THE WAY OF A TRUE PROPHET OF GOD — 62-0513M: ¶303–¶309]
I have condemned them... that they were wrong in the Scripture by being a denomination and not willing to walk in Light when Light’s presented to them.
