46<br />

were baptised. Then the apostles came from Jerusalem<br />

to pray for them, so they would receive the Holy<br />

Spirit. In Acts 10 full salvation was experienced in<br />

one and the same service: repentance, forgiveness,<br />

justification, new birth, and the baptism of the Holy<br />

Spirit. Through the new birth we become sons and<br />

daughters of <strong>God</strong>. By the baptism with the Holy<br />

Spirit we are placed as members into the Body of<br />

Christ, and we receive power for the service (Lk.<br />

24:47; Acts 1:8; Acts 2; 1. Cor. 12; 1. Cor. 14; a. o.).<br />

The main thing is that both experiences, whether<br />

they happen separately or all at once, do not simply<br />

remain points of discussion, but that they become<br />

our true, personal experiences by the grace<br />

of <strong>God</strong>. Brother Branham said, “When you believe on<br />

the Lord, you receive a new thought, a new life, but it<br />

isn’t the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. See? You have got<br />

the new birth when you believe, you have got eternal life<br />

… But the Baptism of the Holy Spirit puts you into the<br />

Body of Christ, subject to the gifts for service.” (COD<br />

Vol. 1, pg. 269, pars. 363 + 364).<br />

Question 29: What about the tent vision that Brother Branham<br />

had?<br />

Answer: In 1958 I first found out about the tent vision that<br />

Brother Branham saw in 1955. My written inquiry<br />

was answered by Roy Borders, Brother Branham’s<br />

manager, on May 18 th , 1965, and therein, among<br />

other things, he stated the following, “… I will endeavor<br />

to, in few words, answer as I have been instructed<br />

by Brother Branham … Regarding the tent, it is quite<br />

possible that the tent will be used in Europe and other<br />

countries outside the Unites States …” Brother Branham<br />

was expectant of the fulfilment of the tent vision<br />

right to the end. But since he was taken home<br />

to glory, the matter has settled itself.
