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.

God perfecting His Church
54-1204 §65
The Roman said, "That's the Son of God." The earth belched out it's rocks, said, "It's the Son of God." And now, He is here to the lost souls and He knocks on the door. [Brother Branham knocks on the pulpit several times] I can hear Him when His Majesty--when He knocks on the door and they looked up at Him. He said, "I am the Son of God. I've just died at Calvary for sinners. Why didn't you believe Enoch and the rest of the prophets before the day of the destruction?" He had to witness to the lost that He was the S...
Strait is the Gate

And Jesus said, "You do error," to the great doctors of divinity, to a religious nation where literally millions were believers. He said, "You do error, not knowing the Scripture, neither the power of God." To a generation like that, that were well-trained men, that were scholars and raised church. When a child was born, it was the property of the church. You had to be an Israelite. Eight days after your birth, it was circumcision, and you were an Israelite to begin with. And the priesthood came from the Levites, w...

...aking to the people, telling them their different ailments, or whatever was wrong, and they said "That's Beelzebub. You see, He's a fortuneteller. We know He comes from the devil," and so forth. But it didn't hinder Christ a bit. He knew He was sent for a divine purpose, and He was determined to fulfill it, for He knew what the Lord had said. He went about at the task. Every true servant of God will do the same. If it's no more than a little dishwasher in the kitchen by a housewife (Amen.), she'll stand true when s...

...d that on Jesus one time. Oh, yes. One time there came one from heaven to change this hybrid condition. So as he tempted Eve, he also tempted Jesus. Got Him up there on top of the mountain, he said, "Now, if thou be the Son of God, I want you to perform a miracle so I can see you do it." That same old devil lives today, just in other people. That same Spirit of Christ lives today, only in other people, see. That's right. The man goes, but the spirit never does. So then, he took Him up on top of the mountain, he sai...
Oneness

Now, Cain was Eve's son; she said, "I have gotten a son." But Seth was Adam's son. And God separated them, because he couldn't let... Why, they'd corrupt one another. Cain's evil children would corrupt Seth's good children. That's right. Now, watch. And the same old devil that caused Eve to disbelieve one Word of God, and told them to separate themselves from one another and to live different, each one, that same devil got among them and brought them together again. Did you get it? Say "Amen" if you did. [Congregat...
