Brother Branham, should we go to the other churches even when they disagree with you?
208 Sure, yep! Jesus did when they disagreed with Him. Go ahead. We notice here, says, “Should we go to another church that disagrees with you?” Sure, I don’t...I’m not the only pebble on the beach, you know. There’s–there’s just other godly man everywhere; I hope I’m one of them. See? But don’t never get down here...
209 I was called in on something like this the other day. A–a group in Arizona called my attention to that. See? A ministerial group said, “The only thing that we have against you, Brother Branham, is (one of the things) the people that comes out here with you, we can’t get them to go to church anywhere.” Said, “They got children and everything; they won’t go to church.” And said, “Well, we told them they was welcome to come–come to our church.”
210 Now, I know they put a pressure on you and want you to join, but you don’t have to join; but put them kids in Sunday school somewhere! And you go to church; don’t set at home, go fishing, and hunting, and things like that on Sunday. You say, “Well, I’m not a legalist.” Well, you’d better be in that manner for a while, dishonoring the resurrection of Christ. You go to church somewhere!
211 If I–if I went...If I couldn’t get...If I went to a certain church that I know there’s only one thing them people eversaid that I believed–they said they believe Jesus was the Sonof God. They said it (I doubt it), but I’d go hear them say that.Maybe you say...That’s this church, maybe the next churchwould be something like the Baptist. They say, “Yeah, I believeyou have to have an experience.” I’ll–I’ll go with them that.Then I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God; I believe youhave to have an experience. All right.
212 Then maybe there’s the Assemblies of God. Now, they believe...See, I–now I can eat about three or four slices of bread with them (see?), ’cause they can believe...
213 Like the other day, this same person called up and wanted to know about that, and said, “You said...” (This minister out there, this fellow down there that wanted discuss that. Poor brother, he’s in such a delusion.) He said, “Well, Brother Branham,” see, he said, “he’s against you Assemblies of God.” And if a Assembly minister happens to pick up this tape, I want you to tell me when was I ever against the Assembly of God man or any other man! Why is it, when your own headquarters admit that I have sent to you three-quarters of a million of my children that I’ve begotten to Christ? How am I against the Assemblies of God? Why am I against the oneness? I’m not against no oneness, Assemblies of God, Church of God, or no man! I’m against every system that separates man.
214 Look, I have sent to the Assemblies, by their own count, three-quarters of a million of my own children. If they’re so bad, why’d I do that? Why? I think it’s the best there is in the land to send them to–either the oneness or the–some of the Pentecostal belief, ’cause they believe in Divine healing; they believe in the supernatural; they believe in the baptism of the Holy Ghost. That’s the best...I–I can’t bring them all right here; they’re all over the world. I got friends all over the world, children that I’ve begotten to Christ. I’ll send them to the best...Did you ever hear me when I’m making an altar call? I say...When I get them up there and get them saved, I say, “Now, you go to some good Full Gospel church and get you a church home.” How many ever heard me say that? Sure, sure. Well, why would I send them there then? Would I be a hypocrite to send my own children to death? Far be it from me. No, sir!
215 If you can’t go...If you can’t come here at the tabernacle, get some church somewhere; go to it. You don’t have to take all they do. What part of the bread they’re serving, you serve the bread. When they got the garlic, why, you just leave it alone. See? That’s right. I can’t make them do it, but that’s exact...Sure, you go to church. Wherever the church door opens, you take off as hard as you can go. If they don’t believe, well...Now, you don’t have to partake. Don’t join them, don’t join any of them churches; but go to them; fellowship with them. How do you know it’s not the Lord? He said He’d make everything work together for the good! And maybe there’s a soul in there that ought to be saved, and you can shine the Light to them. See? Go on down there. Don’t go arrogant, go sweet; and the people begin to say, “That’s such a Christian woman, and a Christian couple; that’s such a Christian boy or girl. My, I’d like to...Boy, they really act like they’ve got something.” See? And say, “What is it?” “Here it is.” Then tell them. But you just be salty, and they’ll get thirsty.
