<TITLE>22. Par 209-215</TITLE>L-209 The Lutheran come along with justification. Why, they were just organized it all down, "Yes, sir, we're the church."
John Wesley saw sanctification. He said, "I see it's different." And he said, "That's all right, Luther, but this is it." What was he? Luther was the star of his age, but here's Wesley. All right.
Now, then, all the Lutherans went back on the shelf because they forgot the... did not... Now, not all the... I mean the Lutheran church. The Lutheran still has good men, filled with the Holy Ghost. That's right. But now, they all went back on the church in that age. All right. Here come Wesley along. He taken them through his age.
Then, the first thing you know, along come... After Wesley age, up come the Pentecostals. And they received the Holy Ghost, speaking in tongues.
My, the Methodists, and the Nazarenes, and the Holiness, say, "Oh, it's the devil." And you see what they done? You blasphemed the Holy Ghost. And see where you're at today? That's right. You, exactly what you done. Sure, you did. And you failed to walk in the Light.
And now you Pentecostals has got so lukewarm in this Laodicean Church Age till God's spuing you out of His mouth. Right. That's exactly right.

L-215 You say, "Do you believe in speaking in tongues?" Yes, sir. "Did you ever speak in tongues?" Yes, sir. And I praise God for it. Yes, sir. I've spoke in tongues several times. And I believe it's the power of God. Yes. I don't believe in the initial evidence now, is speaking in tongues. But I believe there's a power of God makes you speak in tongues, signs and wonders to follow. Yes, sir.
And then the devil put an old scarecrow up there, somebody that's mocked and act like they had the Holy Ghost, and all you Pilgrim Holiness, and Holiness, and Nazarenes, and all of you, looked back and say, "Oooh, I don't want none of That. Oooh."
Oh, mercy. If you'd have had the Holy Ghost, or a part of God down in your heart, sanctified like you was supposed to be, you'd have recognized that to be the power of God. Didn't Jesus say, "If you would've knowed Moses, you would've knowed Me also?" Sure. If sanctification is the part of the Holy Ghost that cleansed and sanctified you, if you've got That, you'll recognize the rest of It when It comes.
This hand recognizes this hand. This head recognizes this foot when it's a part of the body.
And the Bible said there are nine spiritual gifts: prophets, teachers, evangelists, and pro... so forth; and--and interpretation of tongues, speaking in tongues, Divine healing. It'll recognize every bit of It.
