<TITLE>12. Par -</TITLE>L-167-111 Now, notice, the Holy Spirit come back there. The Pentecostal people waited, "And there--suddenly there came a sound from heaven like a rushing mighty wind, filled the house where they were sitting."
Not one time did they ever have to wait after that. While Peter spake these Words to the Gentiles, the Holy Ghost fell on them, even before they was baptized. Is that right? While... Acts 10:49:
But while Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on... them which heard the word.
And they of the circumcision... and many as come with Peter was astonished because... on the Gentiles... was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God, Then said Peter,

And he tarried and bap--commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. (That's right; no waiting, no tarrying.)...

L-167-113 The apostolic way, God had no set rule: When the heart's hungry He'll give you what you're hungering for. If you want the Holy Ghost, It can fall on you right now.
Peter, when he went down to preach... Peter had the keys to the Kingdom. (I've got a question to get to that in a few minutes.) He had the keys to the Kingdom. He opened it up to this house of Cornelius. He opened it up down to the Samaritans; he opened it up over here. But remember that Philip had went down there, and preached to them, and had baptized them in the Name of Jesus Christ; and Peter came down and laid hands on them. And now, he done something for that sorcerer down there. They had Simon the sorcerer, said, "I'll give you some money to give me that gift, that whoever I lay my hands upon receives the Holy Ghost." Is that right? Something happened. (Not some of these archbishops with their collar turned around in the back, come around and lay hands on them, said, "I give you the apostolic blessing.") Something happened when Peter laid his hands on them, and when they do yet.
I've seen them just fall like flies like that, as the Holy Spirit strikes them by laying on of hands. Yes, that is the--the apostolic doctrine of laying on hands. God bless you. If you're a little different from that, just write me a note tomorrow night. All right.

It's wrote with ink, and I've been perspiring here, and it's run into it. Let's see.) If two thirds of the people of the world has not yet heard the Gospel, how can our Lord come now, since they hadn't heard the Gospel, two thirds of them?
Well, that's exactly right. I'll tell you what I think. Here not long ago, when Dr. Reedhead, the president of the Sudan Mission, the greatest full--the greatest apostolic (Now, I beg your pardon.)--the greatest fundamental mission in the world, the Sudan Mission... Dr. Reedhead, with so many degrees, till he didn't even know how many degrees was upon him, come up to my house up there a little over a year and six months ago, and stood in my house, him and this Hyman Appleman, this Baptist minister, which has received the Holy Ghost now and preaching down in--in Mexico. And he come to the house; he said, "Brother Branham," said, "do you deal with the Pentecostals?"
And I said, "Yes, sir."
