<TITLE>14. Par 41-43</TITLE>L-41 Now, I used the word "holy-roller." I--I'm--I've sailed the seven seas, and I never seen a holy-roller yet. That's just a dirty name that the devil tacked on the chu--holiness church. That's all. No such a thing as a holy-roller. Nine hundred and sixty-nine different denominations in Washington, DC recorded now, and none of them's called "holy-roller." They just call it that. See? It's just a slang name, like they did to Paul. "In the way that's called heresy," said Paul, "that's the way I worship the Lord. The way that they call crazy out there, all that bunch of people screaming and hollering and carrying on, that's the way I worship the Lord," he told the king Agrippa. That's right. "That's the way I worship God; in the way they call crazy: heresy."
Now, well, I like to shake his hand this morning, say, "Amen, Paul. I'm standing with you. Nineteen hundred years has passed but we're still got the heresy on us." Amen. So it's foolishness to the world. You have to become crazy to the world to find your right mind in God.

L-42 So, notice. Here they go. I... And here comes Moab out. Now, look what--what he did. Balak went down there and Balaam the prophet; he said, "Build me seven altars." Now, any of you teachers know. Listen close now. Seven altars... And he put seven rams: seven bullocks, and seven rams. Seven rams and seven bullocks is clean sacrifice. Seven rams spoke of the first coming of Jesus Christ. Fundamental? That's the very same offering they're offering down there in that camp of holy-rollers: same offering: seven altars, seven bullocks, seven rams. Now, fundamentally speaking, Moab is just as right as Israel is.
Now, you might be a good Baptist brother preacher setting in here, and I know you. Let's get down to--right down to the showdown now. Speaking... If fundamentalism is right, God should never refuse Balaam's offering. And if fundamentalism is right, God should never rejected Cain. Cain was just as religious as Abel was. He made a offering. He went to church. He paid his tithes. He built an altar. He was sincere. He was a believer. You say, "Well, I'm a believer, I'm saved." That don't mean you're saved. "Except a man be born of water and spirit, he'll in no wise enter the kingdom." It is also written. That's right.

L-43 You've got to realize, friend, that Cain was a believer. And Jesus said in the last days the spirits would be so close together, it would deceive the very elect if possible. Cain was a believer. He wasn't a communist, nor an infidel. He was a church going, ritualistic, gentleman, and was lost. There'll be so many of them at the judgment, they'll be innumerable: people who goes to church, sincere and believers. Cain was a believer. So was Moab a believer. So was Balaam a believer, and they were fundamentally, Scripturally right.
If God just respects fundamentalism, then Moab was just as right as Israel, 'cause both... Here stood the royals all around, the dignitaries of the country, standing around these smoldering sacrifices. The bulls was dead, the rams was dead; the clean sacrifice, speaking of sanctification, the ram speaking of the coming of Christ. They said, "Yes, Lord, we believe You're Jehovah, a clean God that sanctifies us through the blood. Your seven days, seven thousand years for the world to exist--perfect numbers--and we offer, representing each one of these days, that You're God through each generation. You're a clean, holy God through each generation. We believe that You will send the Messiah. We send this ram here, from Abel to speak the same thing": just as fundamental as they were down there. Certainly.
Well then, you say, "My church is fundamental." That don't mean you're saved yet. That's right. If it was, Moab was saved. There he was, and sincere...
