<TITLE>06. Par 24-27</TITLE>L-24 Now, being that I'm representing all of it, let's go back and find out what "the faith" is. A lot of people says, "Well, I don't go there because that's against my faith. My faith don't teach that." There's only one faith. There's only one Church, one Body. You believe that? There's only one Church, and that Church you don't join it at all. You're--you're borned into the Church.
I've been with the Branham family this coming April the 6th, I've been in the Branham family forty-four years, and they never did ask me to join the family. See? Why? I was borned a Branham. I am a Branham by birth, so that just makes me a Branham. See? I don't have to join the family, because I just belong to it. And that's the way it is. You don't have to join the Church. You just belong to It. That's all. You're just borned into It.

L-25 And when you're borned of the Spirit of God, you become a son of God and a daughter of God. And without that you just belong to the church then. But when you're born again you belong to Christ, and we must be born again.
There's one fundamental doctrine that I believe. That's Saint John 3. Jesus said to Nicodemus, "Except a man be born of water, and of Spirit, he will in no wise enter the Kingdom." No matter how sincere, our sincerity has nothing. Go down to Ganges River this afternoon, watch them mothers take their little babies and throw them in sacrifice them to crocodiles to appease the gods of the Nile. You find out whether this... Try yours one time. See how sincere you are up the side of their sincerity.

L-26 Go in China and watch how they--they break their feet and disfigure themselves, and over in India they run spears through their nose, and splinters through their fingers, and lay on beds of spikes, and cutting, some of them with their hands up like that, and shut their fists until their fingernails has growed through the back of their hand for as many as forty years saying, "I'll never put my hand down until I get peace to my soul." Try your sincerity one time against that.
Take a great big bowl of fire like this and have to walk through that bunch of fire, like that, to please his gods and so forth. Try your sincerity against that one time. See? And torture and torment themselves...

L-27 Sincerity has nothing to do with it. There's just one law God requires, that you must be borned again. That's right. If you're not borned again, then you're just not there. That's all. I had to be born in order to be a human, no matter what it was I had to be born. There's no way of making me up mechanically. I had to be borned in order to be a human. I had to be born in order to be a Christian. That's just all. It's a birth, actually a birth. A man is regenerated, a new soul comes in.
Now, the... Let's go back. If you're going to look now with me for a little while into the face of the Scriptures... Now, the Scriptures is absolutely the fundamental truths of God.
