White Supremacy’s Influence on Modern Pentecostalism

Dr. Steven Hassan of the Freedom of Mind Resource Center examines the deep racial issues with the Pentecostal faith that were a direct result of William Branham's destructive cult theology.  Branham's cult is characterized by extreme white supremacy and profoundly racist and misogynistic attitudes, all originating from William Branham's "Billie Branham Pentecostal Tabernacle" and the Pentecostal Baptist Church of God Sect.

The Message cult is a collection of churches — characterized by extreme white supremacy and profoundly racist and misogynistic attitudes — that originated from William Branham’s Pentecostal Tabernacle.  Branham formed the Tabernacle in 1936, and he claimed to be a prophet who channeled messages directly from God. With close relationships with white supremacy groups and prominent members of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), Branham taught his followers that Black people are the inferior race and that women are inferior to men. Until his death in 1965, Branham recorded approximately 1,500 sermons. Today, many sub-groups exist, and they use Branham’s recordings to keep the Message alive.[1]
