<TITLE>05. Par 14-16</TITLE>L-14 'Course they keep my place... the staying, 'cause I, in secret, because I pray through the day, wait on the Lord. So then, in a little, few moments he said, "Brother Branham, you ain't going to let me go?"
I said, "Brother Bosworth, I don't want you do that."
But I said, "If you promise me you won't fuss, you can."
He said, "I promise you."
And downstairs he went. Well, of course the next day, you know how the newspapers can write anything up. "Ecclesiastical hair will fly (You know? and...) in the--the debate." And they rented a big coliseum, Sam Houston Coliseum, and thousands packed in there.
Now, amongst the full Gospel people, there's fusses about different things. One believes that there will be a millennium, the other one says there will not be. One says He's coming one way, and another in another. And they split... One baptizes one way and one another. And they argue about it. That's just like the rest of us. All through all other churches is that...
But, brother, here's the reason that I believe there'll be a coming together. They didn't care whether they was riding a one-humped camel, two humps, or three humps, or whatever they believed in; there was one thing in principle: that was the doctrine of Divine healing and thousands swarmed in for everywhere and filled that big stadium everywhere.

L-15 That night, Mr. Bosworth got up. He said, "I promised that there would be no fussing." And there was thousands of people packed in. You see the picture of it in your book.
And he said, "I--I do not believe in fussing. But I have six hundred Scriptures written out here that proves that Christ's present attitude towards the people is just the same today as it ever was. And if Doctor Best can take one of those Scriptures, and by the Bible disprove it, we won't have any debate. I'll just set down and say I'm wrong." That was quite a wide statement. He said, "Doctor Best, help yourself."
And he said, "I'll take care of that when I get up there."
So Mr. Bosworth said, "Well, Doctor Best, I'll ask you one. And if you'll just even answer me yes or no, it'll settle it. And we won't--we'll expect Brother Branham come and pray for the sick." And he said, "Will you answer me?"
And he said, "Let's hear what you're going to say."
He said, "Was the redemptive Names of Jehovah applied to Jesus? Yes or no?" That settled it. Uh-huh. Well, if he said yes, well, He's Jehovah-rapha, the same as He's Jehovah-jireh. And if He isn't Jehovah-jireh, He isn't the Saviour; He wasn't the Lord. So then you look for another Saviour. And if He is Jehovah-jireh, He's Jehovah-rapha, and all of the redemptive Names belongs to Him, because He is God's Redemption to the human race, and He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. Well, that--that was it.

L-16 Why, he said, "Doctor Best, I'm--I'm as--kindly surprised that you can't answer one of my weakest ones."
So he just kept saying, "Wait till I get up there."
Brother Bosworth said, "All right. I'll just sacrifice my time and you get up."
And so when the man got up and the moderators give him the platform, he preached a very good Campbellite sermon. I was rocked in a Baptist cradle; I know what Baptist doctrine is. He preached that--that after this mor--immortality, when this mortality puts on immortality, that'll be Divine healing. Well, sure, we all believe that. But what about this? If there's no... If we have no earnest of our salvation, the blessing that we have in our heart of the baptism of the Holy Spirit is the earnest, or the down payment. And if there is no Divine healing, there's no resurrection of the body. There's no earnest of it. So we have the earnest of our salvation now.
