<TITLE>10. Par -</TITLE>L-164-Q-28 28. So the Holy... Does the Holy Ghost still given by the laying on of hands? The disciples did this, Peter, Paul, and so on, and is it still possible? Paul received It in this manner.
Yes, dear brother, sister, whoever wrote the--the note. The Holy Ghost is absolutely to be received by laying on of hands.
Now, many people call me... As I've been marked as a Pentecostal, saying I was Pentecostal... I never belonged to a Pentecostal organization. I'm absolutely free from all organizations, and by God's help I aim to stay that way, 'cause I can stand right in the breach and say, "We're brothers. Come here; let's come reason together."

L-164-95 When I first started back there, by the grace of God... And you people here, and my secretaries and them setting here know; I could be in contact with ten million people, or more, in the world today. What an organization could be started. See? That's right. But I don't want a organization; it's against the Bible. I'm trying my best to get the people to be saved that's in the organization. That's the thing. And what influence the Lord has give me with people, I'll certainly use it for His glory instead of placing it on some organization. I'll put it on Jesus Christ where it belongs. No organization can save you; it takes the Blood of Jesus Christ.

L-164-96 But now, in laying on of hands... Now, I'm going to different with... Now, you dear Pentecostal people, now don't fall out with me. But now when you come to a place and say, "We'll go tarry for the Holy Ghost," what a word's been used in Pentecost...
And I'll say this by what... not hurting your feelings... The greatest support I have on the field is the Pentecostal people, because they believe the message of Divine healing and the power of God. The rest of them turn their nose up at it.
But just individuals out of the church, who's predestinated to Eternal Life, they'll come. That's all. But those who are not, cannot come; and God said so, said, "They were predestinated to condemnation." He's not willing that any should perish, but being God, He seen they would condemn it. So that's--that's all. He foresaw it. And that's what the foreknowledge of God is, to see those things. And He predicted the church just where it would be standing right to this very day. And God knew it from the beginning. Before the foundation of the world, He knew the church would just the way it is today. He knew before the foundation of the world I'd be standing in this pulpit tonight. He's God; He knows the end from the beginning.

L-165-99 Now--now, the Pentecostal people has taught... Now, I'll probably get plenty back on this, but I must be honest if I've got to come to the Word. There is no such a thing as tarrying meeting. You've been in error. "Tarry" doesn't mean "pray," "tarry" means "to wait." After the ascension, after Jesus Christ, the crucifixion, the cleansing of the sanctuary, and after the day of the atonement, the resurrection... The day of the atonement, when He was killed, and then it's forty days until the ascension, and then Pentecost. The word "pentecost" means "fifty." It meant fifty days after the offering of the atonement.
And then after the atonement was offered, everything had to come out perfect, literally, geographically, everything just as God said. And Pentecost, is--was a jubilee time, when they brought the firstfruits of the harvest in and had a jubilee.
