<TITLE>06. Par 10-13</TITLE>L-10 Now, in this Church that we're living in today, and the times the way they are, a minister can go forth and explain to you about salvation, you accept it, you'd be saved. Now, the only thing that minister could do to save you would be explain it to you.
Now, the only way a man could do to get you healed, is to explain it out of the Bible, so perfectly, that you would see it and believe it and be--accept your healing and be healed. Is that right? That's the only way: through preaching.
Now, the next thing would be... Now, I know this. I believe that everybody that shouts hasn't got salvation. I believe there's many of them shouts that hasn't got salvation. Yet that's one of the attributes of salvation, is shouting.

L-11 I believe that everything speaks with tongues hasn't got the Holy Ghost. But yet, I believe the Holy Ghost can speak with tongues. See? Sure. But then if there be someone speak with tongues, like a gift of speaking in tongues, would speak in tongues, then there'd be one interpret it. Well, then, that one that interpret it would speak something to one of the congregation or tell them something that happened. Three or four judges get before that, and the Church accepts it. Then if that comes to pass, that's the truth. See? That's right.
Now, that gift of prophecy or gift of interpretation and things, is in--ought to be in every local body. Every local church should have... It'd be on one tonight, on another one the next night, another one the next night, another one this time, another one that time. It's in every local body.

L-12 And if you'll excuse it, and please don't think I say wrong here, that's where in the little break-up that come amongst the Pentecostal people recently, called Latter Rain, that's where they got off the line, right there. For a when a gift of prophecy come to a man, they declared him to be a prophet. Now, that's wrong. There's quite a difference between a gift of prophecy and prophet.
A gift of prophecy is in the church. But a prophet is borned a prophet. See? That's the difference. So as any man at... This man might prophesy tonight; he might never prophesy no more. It might be on that woman over there the next night, and this man back here the next night, and that one over there. See?

L-13 But when the gift of prophecy is operating, it cannot be received unless two or three judge it, to see whether it's right or not. But a prophet, singular, p-r-o-p-h-e-t is borned a prophet, comes up a prophet. Everything he says in the Name of the Lord is absolutely truth, if he's prophesying.
Now, you say, "That was for the Old Testament." Oh, no. They had prophets in the New Testament. Agabus and many of them were prophets in the New Testament.
But now, it doesn't come by laying on of hands. If you lay on of hands... I know what you're thinking about, about the presbyters down there. But that's just like some boy who raised up in a church, and they know he is going to be a preacher. They see the gift working on him and things like that. They just lay their hands on him for ordination. That's what...?... what they lay their hands on. Now... of that...
So it just was something... Now, they did a great work. One thing, they made the organization realize that they wasn't the only one on the beach. So it done some good. But nevertheless, God's Spirit, one of these days, will take--cull all that out and take the Church, just as certain as anything. That's right.
