In the height of William Branham's popularity during the Post WWII Healing Revival, William Branham changed his public image to that of a Baptist minister who accidentally stumbled onto Pentecostalism. This version of his image is a fundamental part of his "Life Story" recordings, and as a result, is fundamental to his "Message" cult following. If that story is removed, then all "supernatural experiences", doctrines, and events in his life related to his Baptist back story are then also removed.
