es, What a question to ask. Especially in these days, we live in such a dark day, sin and corruption all around us, creeping into everything. Even into the CHURCHES! So much sin and worldly living even amongst the people who profess to have Christ as their SAVIOUR, and professing to be filled with HIS SPIRIT. It places this great question before us where are the REAL, TRUE BORN-AGAIN BELIEVERS in Jesus Christ?

Depending on who we ask, this question will produce many different answers. If we ask a Methodist he would declare that the Methodists are all Gods children, or the Baptist man would declare that all the Baptists are. But in all this confusion there has to be a tie post somewhere. Not all that profess to be Christians are Christian. Look at history when Martin Luther came out of Catholicism with the message of Justification (ROMANS 5:1), he and his followers were considered a CULT, a bunch of FANATICS following a MAN and his doctrines. Yet now today we look back and recognize him as a true man of God. Yet not all that followed were true Christians. ROMANS 9:6-8 tells us not all the Israelites were saved. When MOSES led the children of Israel out of Egypt (EXODUS 12:37-38) 600,000 men (with women & children, perhaps 1.5-2 million in total) were led out, but it was a MIXED MULTITUDE. Till, when it come to the border of the Promised Land the TRUE children of GOD showed their colours and protested against the unbelievers (NUMBERS 14:6-9), Joshua and Caleb stood with Moses and Aaron. I'm sure they were considered a CULT too! But only two against two million, what a STAND! But it was the right stand, for the TRUTH, they were in the minority. God's children always are. Look in 1 KINGS 22, Micaiah stood against 400 prophets, whose word came to pass though?

So it was with Martin Luther, he led a great revival returning people BACK to the TRUTH of the Word. Yet after he died, INTELLECTUAL, EDUCATED men took that MESSAGE and polluted it. Drawing the people AWAY from the SPIRITUAL side of the message to an INTELLECTUAL, EDUCATED receiving of the Word by KNOWLEDGE. The same tree Adam and Eve ate from (GENESIS 2: 17) in the garden. It caused God's children to fall then, it does exactly the same today. Just one WORD twisted out of place, just as they have done in the organizations of today.

So after this falling away came a man by the name of John Wesley who preached not only Justification by Faith, but also Sanctification by the Word (JOHN 17:17). He believed a man could get sanctified enough to SHOUT, and they did! Yet, not all that shouted had it, there was a lot of impersonators following, who were shouting the same as the others. Some had received something from the Lord, others just thought that if they shouted like the others that would give them something too. IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT. Get GOD on the INSIDE and all these other things will FOLLOW! Yet Wesley and his followers again were considered a CULT. All the organized churches REJECTED them and deemed them a bunch of DEVILS! Yet same as all the other true men of GOD (there were many others too in their day) when Wesley died, intellectual men followed up and drew the people into a COLD, FORMAL, LUKEWARM way of WORSHIP.

Then came the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, people spoke with tongues and other manifestations of the Spirit too. Many true people received the Holy Ghost, many DIDN'T. Many true believers spoke in tongues, many that weren't spoke in tongues too! Then after the founders went off the scene, intellectual men came and made a DOCTRINE out of it again, that's where it DIED. Yet in their day they were considered a CULT like all the others who had revival before them. See its not the people that are being called a CULT, it's the HOLY SPIRIT in His people being called that (MARK 3:29).

In the midst of it all we cry, 'Oh God where is TRUTH.' His Word declares that HIS WORD IS TRUTH (JOHN 17:17). The Lord sent another man with a MESSAGE, William Branham. The message of MALACHI 4:5-6, to restore God's children's FAITH back to the original FAITH of the early PENTECOSTAL FATHERS. Faith in what? The WORD. Yet people say this was speaking of John the Baptist only. Well if that is so then you must consider the first coming of the Lord a great and dreadful day (Jesus dying for our sins). NO! That refers to his Second Coming. Lets look, the same thing happened again to William Branham and the follower's of the message he preached, they are called a CULT. CULT is devotion or admiration of a person or thing, or a system of religious worship. Yes some people do hang to a person, yes some people (intellectual, educated) do take a revival message and pervert it with creeds (their own educated injections) into a religious system. BUT, through all of it GOD always has a TRUE group of believers, They believe Martin Luther's message, John Wesley's Message, William Branhams message, WHY? Because they were MESSAGES from GOD. GOD VINDICATED. GOD PROVEN. There is no other to come, but the great and dreadful day of the Lord.

So, back to the original question, where are the True Children of God? A certain organization? NO. Those who believe in William Branham message? NO, the DEVIL believes it (he is NOT a child of GOD!) Those who come to Bethel Tabernacle? NO! God has his CHILDREN EVERYWHERE. Don't draw no lines of division, organization, denomination or creed that isn't it.

Jesus is coming for a certain type of people. Not that only know his Word. All the scribes knew the Word and knew how the Messiah was to come and missed it every one. But a little called out-group, of fishermen, publicans, sinners, sick and lame followed after Him and recognized Him. Why? They found Him the same way Peter did in MATTHEW 16:17-19. He founded His Church NOT on Peter, NOT on Himself but on a REVELATION from GOD of His WORD to INDIVIDUALS. I do not know where all of Gods Children are, but I do know one thing, the children HE is coming for are the ONES that KNOW HIM. Regardless what Church they belong to.
