Branhamism does not enforce a uniform stance on military service. While some Message believers, drawing on scriptural separation and Branham's emphasis on non-conformity to the world, may object to military service, others serve in armed forces. The decentralized nature of Message churches means that individual pastors and congregations advise members according to their own interpretation of Scripture and Branham's teaching.

Branham himself did not issue a definitive prohibition of military service, so the question remains open to theological debate within Message circles. Some groups emphasize total separation from worldly systems, which might include military participation, while others view military service as a morally neutral option left to individual conscience. This doctrinal flexibility is characteristic of the Message movement's lack of formal, binding ecclesiastical authority.
