What kind of mind does a person have after being born again of the Spirit of God?

And when a man becomes borned again of the Spirit of God, he becomes an offspring, or a son of God, and then he has the same type of mind that God does, the mind that was in Christ is in us, and we believe for the—for the unseen, for the miraculous, and just anything.

Question

Is a person saved by what they feel, or by believing?

Answer

Now, before you can be saved…I hear many times, say, “Oh, it hit me in the face like a rushing mighty wind.” Well, that might be right, but that wasn’t why you were saved. You were saved because you believed. No matter what other experience went with it, first thing, you had to believe. And if you d...

Question

Does a believer have Eternal Life now, or only in the future?

Answer

My brothers and sisters, for twenty years since being a minister of the Gospel, I’ve tried to give this to the poor lost mortals of this world, to let them know that they have Eternal Life, right now, by believing on the Son of God and accepting Him as personal Saviour. So simple. Jesus said… Now, l...

Question

Do we seek God, or does God seek us first?

Answer

“No man can come to Me except the Father draws him.” You said, “Oh, I sought God, I went seeking for Him.” No, no, God sought for you, not you for God. Human nature proves that. When Adam sinned, he didn’t start hunting God; he started hiding from God. And Jesus said, “No man can come to Me except t...

Question

What does being born again have to do with believing the supernatural?

Answer

If it hadn’t…If you haven’t been with the Mate Jesus Christ and been borned of an supernatural, you can’t believe the supernatural. And when a man’s born of the Spirit of God, God’s a Creator.

Question

What does Christ as High Priest work on?

Answer

But when you believe you have, you say, “Yes, I am.” Then you believe you’re a Christian; you can’t show nothing that you are. But you believe you are. You believe you are. And then when you confess that you are, and when you confess Him, and He confesses you, He’s a High Priest working on what? Not...

Question

What does the word 'testify' mean?

Answer

“Oh,” you say, “yeah, but I know. But here it is.” Oh, sure, the snakes are there too. Your name is penned unto it. He might’ve marked you for a death with a cancer, with anything else. But refuse to see it. No, sir. “By His stripes I’m healed.” “Testify” means “say the same thing.” If I testify in...

Question

What does it mean that Jesus is the High Priest of our confession?

Answer

Divine healing lays in Calvary. And the only thing that you can do is point to Calvary. And there’s where your salvation lays. You wasn’t saved just five years ago, ten years ago, or twenty years ago, or how long it was. You wasn’t saved then. See? You were saved nineteen hundred years ago. When Jes...

Question

What do Gilgal, the school of the prophets and Jordan represent?

Answer

Three places. Justification, Gilgal; sanctification, the school of the prophet; and to the baptism of the Holy Ghost, at Jordan, where Jordan represents death. Notice! Martin Luther; John Wesley; Pentecost, down to the Jordan, dying-out time.

Question

How can a person know that Jesus rose from the dead?

Answer

That’s the way it is with every man or woman, when he is born of the Spirit of God, and sees the true resurrection. No man knows that Jesus is resurrected from the dead, unless he has died, himself, in Christ Jesus, and been born again, anew by the Holy Ghost. Every man is only theologically believi...

Question

Does Christ force Himself on anyone, or does He come only when invited?

Answer

And every man that ever comes into Christ will have to invite Christ into your little house which you live in. He only comes by invitation. He doesn’t push Hisself on you. You say, “I don’t want none of that fanatical stuff,” all right, don’t worry, it won’t be there. But when you are willing and re...

Question

Does a person get a new spirit when he is born again?

Answer

Now, when you are re-born, you don’t get a new spirit. You get a new nature of that spirit. It’s the same spirit, but a new nature of it. You take two man, stand them together, both look alike; and one of them is a sinner, and one of them is a Christian. One man say, “I got a spirit the same as you...

Question

Who is eternally secure?

Answer

Now say, “You believe in Eternal security, then, Brother Branham?” In one way, I do. I believe that the Church is Eternally secure, the Church is. God’s already said it would appear before Him, without spot or wrinkle, the Church will. Now, the next thing, if you’re in the Church, then you are secur...

Question

Does a saved person still desire the things of the world?

Answer

Then you say, “Brother Branham, then if I’m saved, glory to God, I can do what I want to.” Yes, sir. And if you are saved, brother, you have no desire of nothing of the world. And your whole heart’s centered on That, you can’t keep away from It. But as long as there’s a tug there, you know there’s s...

Question

If God already counts every sinner as forgiven, why would anyone be condemned?

Answer

Now, to you on the outside, and in the basement, and you who are not able at this time to see in…The Lord Jesus Christ at His vicarious suffering and death at Calvary, purchased healing for every mortal in the world, ever will be in the world. Jesus has already paid the price, and in the sight of Go...

Question

How important is education compared with salvation?

Answer

And I’m not trying to support my ignorance. I’m just telling what the Bible said. Peter and James passed through the gate called Beautiful, there laid a man crippled from his mother’s womb. He said, “Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have, I will give thee. In the Name of Jesus Christ, rise...

Question

Does a Christian die?

Answer

We don’t believe in death of Christians. You can’t prove to me that a Christian dies. The Blood of Jesus Christ takes away sin; it doesn’t cover it. The believer goes in the Presence of God now.

Question

In James 5, what is meant by the 'righteous man' whose effectual fervent prayer availeth much?

Answer

Now, I wish to read something about prayer over here in the good Book, in James the 5th chapter, beginning with the 14th verse. Everyone listen closely now. Is any sick among you? let him call the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing with oil in the name of the Lord: The praye...

Question

What does it mean that 'the worshipper once purged' has no more desire of sin?

Answer

Now, we know drinking and carrying on is sin; but the whole thing is because of unbelief. ’Cause if you believe God, and Jesus Christ to be His Son, you are absolutely not going to do those things. You believe that? “He that’s born of God does not commit sin.” See? All right. You must believe. The w...

Question

Are believers the sons of God now, or only in the future?

Answer

It’s in me, Eternal Life, “Now we are the sons of God.” Not we will be; we are now. That’s what the trouble of it is. People, you begin…You people that’s born again, the people call you holy-roller, or fanatic, or something another like that, because you’re borned again, and you let the devil kick y...
