<TITLE>14. Par 57-60</TITLE>L-57 If all that you have to do is believe that God is, and you will kneel down and worship Him, Cain was justified. The Bible said that even the devil believes that to be the truth. And the devil publicly confessed Jesus Christ to be the Son of God. That didn't save them. Brother, we... We'd better get straightened out. Going to be a mistake one of these days. Somebody's right and somebody's wrong.
You'd better take what the Bible said. You've got to be born again, not mythical think you're borned again, but when the Spirit absolutely kills everything in the world in you. You'll become regenerated, a new creature in Christ. Then you know the old things is passed away. If you still love the world, the things of the world, the Bible says, "The love of God's not even in you." Amen. That was plain, but, brother, it's not whitewashed. It'll wash you white. That's right. Excuse me slobbering. I told you I wasn't a preacher in the first place. I've been eating a lot of grapes out of Canaan, caused me to slobber...?... Canaan. Amen.

L-58 Oh, brother. What we need today is an old stirring of the Holy Spirit again. Brother, it had to come to me before God ever manifested Hisself. We need another rushing, mighty wind sent. (That's right,) as it did on the day of Pentecost. They were all religious and followers of Jesus, but they had to go and receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Is that true?
And listen here, women. You got to be salty and listen to this. Do you realize that up in there when they all went up the hundred and twenty to pray that when they... They never done like we Baptists do: shake hands and put their name on the book and say, "Yes, I'm born again." They didn't have it like that. There's no such a Scripture as that in the Bible. And we catholic people who come, lick out our tongue and take the holy eucharist and say we got the Holy Ghost, no such Scripture in the Bible.

L-59 We Methodists go on prohibition for six month and there's no such Scripture in the Bible. But the Bible said, "When the day of Pentecost was fully come, there came a sound from heaven like a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house they were setting." And the power of God so enclosed those people and anointed them, till they run out into the streets screaming, and dancing, and hollering, and acting like a bunch of drunk people. That's the Scripture, THUS SAITH THE LORD.
And listen, women. The blessed virgin Mary had to get it that way, and if God made the mother of God have to come that way, how much more do you have to come that way? But we need life, not in some mythical, theological...?... some theory of men, we need the old fashion baptizing of the Holy Spirit back into human life to make new creatures in Christ Jesus. Amen.
I'm not amening myself. It means, "so be it." Can't help from saying it. Watch, my brother.

L-60 Yeah, Cain was a justified if God only required that, but God rejected him, because his spirit only looked to a thing temporal. He was the nature of his daddy. His daddy wanted a great, big, beautiful church in heaven better than Michael. He got kicked out of heaven, for here's his nature down here beautifying the altar. And here it is yet today. Why, they make a big fine churches.
You Pentecostal people, are just as bad off as the rest of them. That's right. You think 'cause you got a big crowd coming to your church, or the society of the city or something like that; that's going to make no difference. You make...?... God will meet you on a street corner or in an alley or anywhere. You're a lot better off when you was in the mission. Amen.
