Topic: Family salvation

Question

Brother Branham, I want to receive the Holy Ghost. I want to know what to do. I am burdened for my family to be saved. And the sister signed her name.

Answer

If you want to receive the Holy Ghost, let me tell you something, my dear Sister, if you’re here. And—and—I…(Brother Neville, is that a member of the church here? At the bottom…?…) I don’t—I don’t remember them either. But if—if you’re here, Sister B-o-u-g-h, if you’re here, let me tell you. The Bib...

Question

Brother Branham…(Did I finish that? Did I get about the baptism of the Holy…Yes, that was about it, wasn’t it? All right. Excuse me, if I don’t get it, just forgive me. I…These are such wonderful questions. You could just stay one whole night just on one question, brother, and then not even touch it.) I appreciate you as a servant of God, the believe…and I believe the Message of Truth. My wife won’t hear me…says anything…say anything about this Message, and will not listen to any tape. I am in nervous trouble on my job also. I want my wife to believe too and pray for my children. Brother Branham, I want to be friend of God’s…I want to be found in God’s will for my life. I want to be His servant. (And the person signs “over.” Wait a minute.) When I was small, I told everyone that I wanted to be a preacher. I don’t know what God wants me to do. I’m willing to do anything for the Lord. Yours in the Lord.

Answer

Now, a good question. And the man is sincere. His wife, his companion that’s a part of him…May I add something here to that? My brethren, I say this in the Name of the Lord. One of these days, the Lord willing, I think I’ll just go ahead and make that tape on Marriage and Divorce (see?), bring it ri...

Question

Dear Brother Branham, will all the sons and daughters of true, borned-again believers be saved?

Answer

No, brother; no, they sure won’t. See, as I—as I copied David du Plessis on this remark, “God don’t have grandchildren, see, just sons and daughters.” See, they’ll have to be born just exactly like their father and mother was born of the Spirit. See? That’s what makes a man a new person, is because...

Question

Brother Branham, you said on one of the tapes that Noah saved his household. Does this mean a mother can have the same faith for her household? And does it mean every one of the family will be saved if we believe it?

Answer

Now, that’s…yeah, that’s kind of a…You’d have to watch the way I answer this now. See? First, “You said…(Now, let me see that.) You said on one of your tapes that Noah saved his household.” Why? Because they believed. That’s it, because they believed his message. “Does this mean that a mother can h...

Question

Dear Brother Branham: My wife and I were separated, she is suing me for a divorce. She is not a Christian, and I believe the Message and want her to be saved (Isn’t that nice? That’s real Christian spirit. See?) and believe. What must I do? We also have two boys. (Signed their name.)

Answer

Brother, look, let me tell you, she’s going to sue you for a divorce. That’s Satan. See? You shouldn’t do that. But if you’re a Christian, and done nothing in the world to hinder that woman, then it’s Satan doing that. He’s only trying to tear you up. Now, if she is one of God’s elected, she will c...

Question

Brother Branham, as I went through the prayer line a short time ago, anointed hands were laid on me and prayer was made for my unsaved husband. I was slain by the power of the Lord! Is this a definite sign that he will be saved?

Answer

Well, a…It’s bound to be a woman. Sister, I wouldn’t—I wouldn’t think that it was a definite sign that he was to be saved, though I believe if—that God, it…I believe he will be saved, certainly, but to say…“Now, could you say that’s THUS SAITH THE LORD?” Be careful about that (see?), ’cause, see, it...

Question

Can a Christian save an unsaved member of his family?

Answer

For no matter how much I would pray for you, if you yourself didn’t have the faith, it wouldn’t do any good. That’s right. It takes your faith. And no matter how much I preach to you and how well I brought the Gospel to you, if ye yourself…It’s your own personal faith in Christ that saves you. Is th...
