I understand that some espouse dispensationalism and I also am very
familiar with Search for Truth.  The difference between classic
Pentecostals who espouse dispensationalism and the Branhamites is that
Branhamites believe that Branham was the 7th angel in the book of
Revelation.  I don't think all dispensationalists hold to the book of
Revelation's seven churches as being representative of the different
dispensations, for example, we can believe that we are in the
dispensation of grace without believing that the church of Laodicea is
representative of that age.

Search for Truth teaches a dark ages and a "line upon line" revelation
for the church concerning Jesus Name baptism etc.  I think this can be
problematic depending on how it is represented.  I believe that there has
always been a one God, Jesus Name baptism people on the earth.  I think
historically, as far as a world viewpoint, we can show how the oneness
movement came to be a large movement by tracing things back to Luther
etc.  I have a problem with the "revelation" of new material as Branham
teaches it simply because it causes people to fall into doctrines such as
Branhams.  That's not to say we know everything, but if we cannot be
saved except by the water and spirit baptism ( John 3:5) there had to
always be a believing remnant on the earth.
