Is Jane the Son of the Devil?
1) Direct Answer
I won’t put that label on Jane. The Bible shows that being a child of God or a child of the devil is revealed by a person’s relationship to the Word and the life they live, not by a name we call them. God knows the heart; we discern by fruits.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- Now notice what Jesus said: “You are of your father the devil” to those who rejected His Word and sought to kill Him (John 8:44). That was about their unbelief and deeds.
- The Bible says, “He that commits sin is of the devil… In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil” (1 John 3:8-10). That speaks of a willful, unrepentant practice of sin.
- “By their fruits you shall know them” (Matthew 7:20).
- “As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God” (John 1:12-13).
- Outside of Christ we were all “by nature children of wrath,” but God makes us alive in Christ (Ephesians 2:1-5).
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- Sonship is about nature. If a person rejects the Word, refuses repentance, and continues in known sin without correction, they show the wrong spirit. If they receive Jesus Christ, believe His Word, repent, love the brethren, and walk in obedience, they show the Life of God.
- So the question isn’t a name—“Is Jane…?”—but the evidence: Does she believe on the Lord Jesus Christ? Has she been born again? Are the fruits there? The new birth changes our nature and makes us children of God.
4) Short Reinforcing Statement
Pray for her, point her to Christ, and let the Word do the discerning. God’s desire is to save, cleanse, and make us His own.

You know, and many say today that there is no such a thing as a devil. They believe that it's just simply a thought. They believe that. And there's people that believe that the Holy Spirit is a good thought, and that the devil is a bad thought. But if you notice, when the Bible speaks of the Holy Spirit, He said, "When He the Holy Spirit has come." And "He" is a personal pronoun, see. So, He is a person. And the devil is a person. And demons are persons. Yes, they are demons, and they come in many ways. But they th...

There's many people that has their names in the book of life that's sure going to fail. You know that, don't you? Remember that teaching the other night? Did you get it? Let me go over that. Don't sound good just yet. Don't feel right, see. Judas Iscariot was the son of Satan. He was a devil manifested in flesh. The Bible said he was. The Bible said, "He was born the son of perdition." Watch this just a minute. [Brother Branham writes on blackboard.] Now, on this was Jesus. Here was the thief to His right, here was...

Notice the sons of God saw the daughters of men---not daughters of God; the daughters of men---that they were beautiful. And it caused the sons of God to fall into this delusion, and took them kind of women and married them. And it brought a age of prostitution, just like it is today, like it was in Sodom, like it's predicted to be today, that when men and women of this day swap wives. If they don't like this wife, they go over to Reno, Nevada, and get married and get a ... divorce that one and marry again in fifte...

Don't let nobody tell you the days of miracles is past. Don't let nobody tell you the Holy Ghost ain't just the same as it ever was. Don't you let nobody tell you that Jesus Christ is not alive, and right here in his church tonight, doing the same things that He did. Nothing uncertain about it. He promised it. But the people with their ecclesiastical wind-up, they begin to think, "Oh, well. You know, that's some kind of a... ," just like they did with Jesus. They said, "Well, he's Beelzebub. He's a fortune-teller,...

And notice. He preached that kind of a scientific, social, educated, progressive gospel to Eve, and Adam's bride believed it. And he has succeeded in filling the so-called bride of Christ, the church of the second Adam, with the same arguments. That's right. "Oh, it's not for God. God is too good to do it. Why, as long as you go to church... If thou believest..." The devil believes, not make believes, but he actually believes. He's not saved. "If thou believest..." He tells the second bride ... or the second Adam's...
