They detail the historical context and geographic spread of message churches, particularly emphasizing how the message influenced the formation of sects within the broader charismatic and Pentecostal movements. Through personal anecdotes and historical analysis, they explore the cultic characteristics of the groups, their relationship to the Independent Assemblies of God, and the emergence of factions within the message community. The conversation also touches on the controversial connections between the message and other organizations, including the Independent Assemblies of God, the mafia, and the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). John highlights how the theology from the message served as a foundation for subsequent movements, with particular attention to figures like Paul Cain and Mike Bickle, who attempted to reframe Branham’s legacy. Charles provides insights into how these groups defined themselves, often around doctrines like Branham’s role as Elijah. Together, they outline plans to delve deeper into the divisions within the movement and its intersections with broader Pentecostal trends.
