John and Chino explore the strange evolution of the “assurance versus insurance” doctrine that spread through William Branham’s ministry and reached its peak under Hobart Freeman’s Faith Assembly. Drawing connections between Psalm 91, Mark 16, and the Manifest Sons of God teaching, they reveal how a harmless Branham anecdote became a central tenet of Freeman’s anti-insurance, faith-healing movement. Chino recalls hearing the sermon in 1974 and how Freeman’s twisting of scripture led believers to reject medical help and financial protection, often with tragic results. John connects the theology back to Branham’s healing revivals and its ties to testing God—through poison drinking, snake handling, and other extreme acts of “faith.” The discussion exposes how cult leaders turn poetic Psalms into legalistic works systems, binding followers through slogans, repetition, and fear while redefining “trusting God” as rejecting all human wisdom.br br 00:00 Introductionbr 00:31 The Insurance Story William Branham Loved to Tellbr 02:31 Hobart Freeman and Psalm 91 as an “Assurance Policy”br 05:00 Freeman’s Pattern of Borrowed Doctrinesbr 08:30 Psalm 91 and Cultic Mind Controlbr 14:02 Faith Assembly’s Morning Confession Ritualbr 16:47 Assurance vs. Insurance: How Freeman Framed Itbr 20:21 The Religion of Works and Controlbr 23:07 Branham’s Doctrine Link to Freeman’s Teachingbr 26:30 “Total Faith and Total Obedience” – The Fine Printbr 29:02 Freeman’s Proof-Texting and “God Gave It to Me” Claimsbr 36:10 The Psalm 91 Bullet Story and Unverified Miraclesbr 40:25 From Stories to Doctrines to Controlbr 45:01 Insurance as a “Negative Confession”br 46:44 Cognitive Dissonance and Freeman’s Contradictionsbr 49:03 The Ladder Illustration and Eroding Faithbr 52:06 Long Life Promises and Misused Scripturesbr 55:29 Psalm 90–91 in Context: Reality and Faithbr 56:46 How Followers Suffered After Canceling Insurancebr 57:52 Testing God and the Mark 16 Connectionbr 1:00:09 Branham, Roy Davis, and Poison Drinking Practicesbr 1:03:13 Childlike Faith vs.
