 | '''William Marrion Branham's''' healing ministry skyrocketed him from a rural pastor to an international evangelist in the late 1940's.  However, his visions and doctrine became increasingly controversial until his death in 1965.
  |  | 
 | 
  |  | 
 | Views on his legacy can be grouped into three main categories: 
  |  | 
 | 
  |  | 
 | 1) Some believe him to be Elijah the Prophet in fulfillment of Malachi 4:5.  There are two main groups of followers.  The first view his every word as infallible, while the second only accept his "Thus Saith The Lord" teachings as infallible. 
  |  | 
 | 
  |  | 
 | 2) Some view him as a great evangelist and gifted healer who strayed from Christian orthodoxy in the 1950's and 60's.
