<TITLE>27. Par -</TITLE>L-191-266 I stood in India--in Africa and seen witch doctors come up and challenge me like that with their enchantments, and even drunk blood out of a human skull. That's right. You better know what you're talking about when you face that. But I've seen the power of Almighty God bind that man till he couldn't move; stood there and his eyes glassy like that, and they pack him away. Yes, sir.
Brother, God is real. That's right. But God is a Spirit, not confined only to speaking in tongues or this, that, or the other. I say that any man that is... That's the trouble in the church here. See, you... Pentecost went wild on that one thing. They got down to the people... Instead of--of laying hands on them, and them receiving the Holy Ghost, they got them down at the altar and begin to beat them on the back and holler, "Say it. Say it. Say it," and say a word over and over, till they got confusion and not tongues.

L-192-268 If a genuine Holy Ghost person is born of the Spirit of God, he'll live a godly life. Some of them men was living horrible lives, and you know that; and their fruits proved that they wasn't. Jesus said, "By their fruits you shall know them." And the fruit of the Spirit is not speaking in tongues; that's a gift of the Spirit.
Peter never said, "Repent, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ, and you shall receive the Holy Ghost"; he said, "Ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost," when they heard these tongues and people speaking. It's one of the Holy Ghost gifts that they received. Amen. All right. Got to hurry.

L-192-Q-39 39. I have two boys; (one's two and one, five), and they have been sprinkled. Should they be baptized by immersing?
Well, now, sister or brother, whoever you are, that's up to you. I've got a little girl... My little boy, Billy Paul, was sixteen years old, and I baptized him in the Name of the Lord Jesus right here. My little girl was eight years old; she come to me, and got up on my lap, and she said, "Daddy, I want to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and I--I want to be baptized." And I baptized the little girl at eight. When--if them little kiddies wants to be baptized, baptize them. If they're not, why, if they're... Just go ahead; that's up to you, whatever the Lord said.

L-192-Q-40 40. Will only those who have the baptism of the Holy Ghost be in the rapture of the church, or will all believers be indicated?
We ain't... We haven't got time to justify that. But, brother, only the Holy Ghost Bride will be in the rapture. See? The Bible strictly--the others won't be lost.
Look. Who's going to judge the earth? Saints. Daniel said, "I saw Him come to the Ancient of time, and--and He came with ten thousands times ten thousands of His Saints." Is that right? The rapture, the church had gone on. Then they come down, and the judgment was set, and the Books were opened. Is that right? And another Book was opened which was the Book of Life (the sanctified believer that hadn't received the Holy Ghost).

L-193-274 Didn't Jesus teach that ten virgins went out to meet the Bridegroom, and five of them... Or all of them were virgins, pure, holy. And they... These went to sleep and didn't get the Holy Ghost; and these got the Holy Ghost, had Oil in their lamp. And when the Bridegroom come, the Voice come, shouting, they said, "Oh, let us go. And give us some of your Oil."
He said, "Go to them and buys; pray up, get it now." But they couldn't. And while they was gone, the--the virgins went into the Wedding Supper, and they were cast in outer darkness where they were weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Didn't Revelations, last night, in the 12th chapter, night before last, teach that the red dragon spurts water out of his mouth to make war with the remnant of the woman's seed that had faith in God and kept the commandments of Jesus Christ?
