<TITLE>04. Par -</TITLE>L-62-21 Now, shall we pray: Father in heaven, let Thy blessings shine upon us now, as I go forward to answer these questions. O God, just... There's some of them here I've never even looked at yet, and only two or three that I--I read just awhile ago. I pray, Father, that You'll help me and give me wisdom and understanding, that I'll only speak that which is right. Grant it, Father. And may I have Thy wisdom, and may the Holy Spirit come down just now and grant the wisdom that's needed. Bless us together today, Lord, as this little tabernacle group here.
Bless our dear beloved brother, Brother Neville, here, Father, who's labor along, the shepherd here in the pastor field, that's--that's trying to lead the sheep to the green grass and the deep clovers, or out into the water and then back to the shade tree, and caring for the sick and the needy and the little crippled ones and those who are weary and try to doctor them up and bring them, so they'll be real sheep. O Father, I pray that You'll bless him. Give him wisdom and knowledge and understanding.
And help us all together now, Father, and we'll give Thee the praise in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-63-24 Now, in some of these here, I'll get them out of--some from different parts of the Scripture where they--where they was belonging to. And now, we just start on some, and answer right along till we can get--get as many as we possibly can out. I believe we can get them all, and I'll kind of watch here that we get out early.

L-63-Q-8 The first thing is just a question, just a straight question:
 8. I was baptized at the age of thirteen. Should I be again?
Now, that's a--that's a nice little question to ask. Well, now, friend, I always leave that to the person.
Remember, I don't know... There's one that I do know who wrote it; that's this one right here, and the man handed it to me himself. And somebody asked me a question back there that I should answer, and they never put it on paper, and I said, "If I got enough time after these here I would answer it."
But now this here, "Well, should I... Was I... "I was baptized at thirteen. Shall I be baptized again?
If you've been a Christian all along, since you was thirteen years old, a believer in Christ, I--I'd just remain like you are. I wouldn't now, if God has blessed you and give you the Holy Spirit since then...

L-63-30 And the baptism is only a--a--a form; it's just to--to show the world (or the congregation that you're--you're with at that time) that you, before witnesses, prove that you have believed that God sent His Son and He died and rose again on the third day, and you was buried into Him and have risen to walk in newness of life. And them same people that watched you when you was baptized will meet you at the judgment. See?
And then along, if someone, a stranger, says, "Was--was you?"
"Yes, I have been baptized with my--unto my Lord's death and burial."
