<TITLE>25. Par -</TITLE>L-188-243 Now, look what an error they made, go out and forgive sins and so forth like that, what an error. Let's see. They put the keys on him. Now, He set his face right straight to Pente--or right straight to Jerusalem. He was crucified, died, rose the third day, was on earth forty days among men, ascended up into heaven, told them to wait till they seen the Kingdom of God come upon them; at this time the Father will restore the Kingdom in a spiritual form to them. They went up to the city of Jerusalem and waited there for ten days and nights, and all of a sudden, the baptism of the Holy Spirit (the Kingdom of God) come with power upon them. Is that right?

L-188-245 Now, watch. Peter, uneducated, couldn't even sign his own name (A pope? Yeah, a pope) stood upon a little soapbox or something and begin to preach. He said, "You men of Judaea and you that dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and hearken unto my words. These are not drunk as you suppose, seeing it's the third hour of the day; but this is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel. 'It'll come to pass in the last days,' saith God, 'I'll pour out My Spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy, and on My handsmaids and maidservants will I pour out of My Spirit and they shall prophesy. I'll show wonders in the heavens above, and the earth below, fire, pillars of fire, and vapors of smoke.'" On he went, speaking of David and so forth.

L-189-246 And when these critics stood there, said then, "Men and brethren, what can we do to be saved?"
Oh, be careful, Peter; you got the keys hanging on now. Is that right? The first Gospel message...
Jesus, a few days before that, before He was crucified, said, "Peter, I'll give you the keys. Whatever you bind, I'll bind it; whatever you loose, I'll loose it. Now, whatever you do, I'll recognize it in heaven." If He's a Man of His Word, He'll keep His Word.
And here he is standing here; the Holy Ghost had fell for Its first time, and Peter was asked, "What can we do to be saved?"
Watch out, you're sticking the key into the Kingdom for the first time. Jesus told you a few days ago (was ten days ago), said, "Go baptize people in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost." What are you going to do? But He give you the keys because you had a spiritual revelation. "For My church will be built, and the gates of hell can't prevail against it."

L-189-251 And take your creeds and dogmas, and whatever you wish to, but it'll fail miserably (It has been.), but the power of the living God shall move on and on into eternity. Like a streak of radium, She moves on (Notice.) without end.
Peter, you got the keys. Whatever you do here, God's got to recognize it in heaven. Is that right? "What do you say, Peter? What can we do to be saved?"
Peter said... Don't go say a "Hail Mary." There's no such a thing, do a novena. Don't come and shake hands and put your name on the church book and have them sprinkle a little water on you. No such a thing, that's Catholic dogma that the Protestant church is bowing to.

L-189-254 He didn't say "All of you go... And now, Jesus told me a few days ago, for all of you to go and be baptized in the name of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost." Not a man that had spiritual revelation, wouldn't say that. He said, "Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to them that's far off, and as even as many as the Lord our God shall ever call." That's it. Then the key stuck in, and it locked; it locked in heaven.
That's the reason Paul said to John's disciples, "You've got to be baptized over again in the Name of Jesus Christ to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost."
