Answer:
“Read, brother, now if you have it. [Brother Neville begins reading I Corinthians 15:29: "Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for the dead."--Ed.] Now, my brethren, there's one--one people that believes that. They baptize for the dead; that's the Mormons. Now, I've been in their temples many times; they're very fine people. You may be a Mormon. Now, I am not trying to hurt your feelings. But my dear friend, you can't be baptized for your father. That's a act he had to do. The way the tree leans, that's the way it falls. Paul speaking here was talking of the dead Jesus Christ. If the dead rise not, why are you baptizing in Jesus Christ's Name then, if the dead rise not? See what I mean? Then you're... He said, "Let them eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die if the dead raise not." But he goes ahead and glorifies God for the resurrection of the dead. And we're baptized in Jesus Christ, unto His death, burial, and resurrection. That's why we're baptizing for the dead.” [Questions And Answers Jeff. IN 54-0515] “I didn't know he was a Mormon. And I was a very... I know, being it in Utah, it probably was, but I... 'cause most the people up there are Mormon, around Salt Lake City. This wasn't Salt Lake City, however. So I thought, "Well, I've had some fine Mormon friends, been in the prayer lines, fine people." And I said, "I have met some very fine men who are--are Mormons." And he said, well, he said... I said, "I don't know their teaching on that, and I wouldn't want to say something contrary to their teaching, because that's what you are, and I respect that highly." And I said, "Well, and you believe that?" He said, "Yes, sir, I do." But said, "I don't live to it." I said, "Well, I believe that the Bible teaches that God knew that baby millions of years ago before the foundation of the world." I said, "God told Jeremiah, 'Before you was ever conceived in your mother's womb, before you ever was come forth from the belly, I knew you, sanctified you, and ordained you a prophet to the nations.'" I said, "That's how much He knew about it. See?" He said, "Well," he said, "thank you." He started walking down the hill. And then he met with this other fellow, and he said, "Why didn't you tell me that guy was a preacher?" And so we... He talked to him a little bit and begin to tell him about the meetings.” [Proving His Word LA, CA V-18 N-3 65-0426] “Now, Mormons believe prophecy. I don't--might not be any here, but they--but they do believe in--in prophecy. But, so, now, maybe I'm talking out of school, well I... Yeah. Yeah. But, however, they believe. And he say, he come back to me, said, "I understand that you are a prophet." I said, "No, sir." I said, "I... The Lord has showed me a few things to happen." And he took off right away, said, "Let's go in." And he got in his car, and went down to the... There was a little city from where he lived. In a few moments he was missing. We was fixing the dogs to take another hunt right after lunch. And when we did, why, he took off in a car. In a few moments, a fine-looking young man come back, about seventeen years old, a real saintly-looking Christian gentleman. He said, "This is my brother." Said, "He is not a Jack Mormon. He's a real Mormon." I said, "How do you do, son?" And he said, "I understand, that my brother tells me that you are a prophet." I said, "No, sir." I said, "It isn't that I am a prophet." I said, "The Lord has showed me things to come to pass." He said, "I have a shot in my arm right now; I'm supposed to be on the operating table." He said, "But my brother told me this. And I said, 'If that's so, I don't need the operation.'" He looked me right straight in the eye, an honest, true, sincere look, said, "You lay your hands upon me. If these things are so, I won't need the operation." He went home well.” [Proving His Word LA, CA V-18 N-3 65-0426] “This brother, Christian friend of mine, was hunting with me from Phoenix. He
said to me, he said... Some of these boys are setting right here now. One of
them I know is here present. We went home. He said, "Brother Branham, if the
Lord would show you a vision and let you tell them Mormons just what's going to
happen, that will do it, because they are looking for it." So I prayed and I
prayed. And on my road back home, I was coming up on the following Monday,
Sunday, about ten o'clock, I was standing in the room, after church that
morning, and was looking out. And I saw flashlights flashing, or some kind of a
light flashing. And I saw a lion that was in a tree, and--and it was too small
for me to shoot. I didn't want it. And there was someone else shot it, and when
they did, they shot it with too big a gun. It blowed the lion up. I didn't
appreciate the--the--the way it was done.” [Proving His Word LA, CA V-18 N-3
