<TITLE>16. Par 66-70</TITLE>L-66 The fundamental does the same thing today: preaches all the fundamental doctrine of the church. They're just as fundamental as Pentecost ever dared to be. That's right.
But notice, the only difference was that they had signs and wonders following them, and they didn't. God was a vindicating His Church with signs and wonders. He always has, and He always will. The same sacrifice, the same religious ritual, but God was a vindicating him just like He did Abel. There's that Cain spirit up here, fundamental, religious as he could be.
Here's Moab the same way. But he had no time for signs and wonders. Israel had a Pillar of Fire hanging over them. They had a brass serpent before them. They had a smitten rock going with them.

L-67 And that was a bunch of holy-rollers down there carrying on. You said, "Holy-rollers?" Yes, they were holy-rollers. They are yet. They was then. You say, "Holy-rollers?" Sure.
When they crossed over the Red Sea and got the victory over their enemy, before they could eat the manna, I tell you Moses stood up, and held his hands up, and sang in the Spirit. And then Miriam took a tambourine and begin to beat the tambourine, and jumping and dancing and all Israel. If that ain't a Holy Ghost meeting...?... Isn't that right? They were a bunch of holy-rollers, looked silly before the world. So did Abel.

L-68 But you see that vine coming up? Still the same vine, she's growing right on out of Genesis. Here comes the fundamentals up too, just as fundamental. Look. Oh, my, I wish I had time to dwell on it, but look, bring the spirit on down.
When Jesus come, those priests was just as fundamental as Jesus was. Here He had signs and wonders, and they was against it. The great Saint Paul said, "Up here when the vines goes full up into the blossom and begins to put forth as we are now," he said, "they'd be heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, and despisers of those that are good."

L-69 You say, "Brother Branham, they're infidels." No, no. Fundamentalists, having the form of godliness but denying the power thereof from such turn away. Hallelujah. We know where we are.
God's vindicating His Church in all ages with signs and wonders. There's that same vine. Do you see where we're at now? See how these great, fine, classical churches can deny that power, yet preach the same Bible, believe on the same Christ, and everything just as fundamental as we do? But they are scared of the power of God to make manifest the Word. Glory. I might as well cut-up, 'cause I feel good. All right.
Oh, brother, what a peculiar text I had awhile ago, never got to it yet. But when I was thinking of it... I'll have to hurry. Do you see where we're living at?

L-70 This last day... Paul said in the last day that men would be heady and high-minded. They'd permit their people to go to shows, and dances, and clubs, and everything else, having a form of godliness, going...?... "We believe in the death, burial, and resurrection, the second coming. We are pious; we are believers." So was those priests. So was Cain.
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power of God's Divine healing, the power of speaking in tongues, the power of the baptism of the Holy Ghost, signs and wonders following, they say, "It's fanaticism."
Those fundamentals better step off that tree this afternoon and get over here (Hallelujah.) where signs and wonders are following.
