Latter Rain Message
As the Latter Rain sect of Pentecostalism started to spread, and the Latter Rain Revival began to form, the differences in theology from mainstream Pentecostalism and mainstream Christianity became known as the "Latter Rain Message". Promoters of the Latter Rain Message also promoted William Branham's campaigns. The group based their theology upon Branham's doctrine, and Branham's revivals in Canada were viewed as the catalyst that sparked the group's creation. During this time, William Branham referred to his own ministry as "the Message". This term was used and promoted by Joseph Mattsson-Boze, who was critical to the spreading of the New Order of Latter Rain into the United States. Also at this time, Rev. Jim Jones and Peoples Temple referred to their sect's beliefs as "the Message". Jones was ordained as a minister by Joseph Mattsson-Boze, and both Branham and Boze launched Jones' career as a "faith healer" at the Cadle Tabernacle in Indianapolis.
