<TITLE>09. Par -</TITLE>L-162-84 But, however, the mark that was put on their head was not tattooed, was it? What was It? The baptism of the Holy Spirit. And what is the Mark that's going to be for this last day? The Bible said the Seal of God was the baptism of the Holy Ghost for the people in the last day. Now, there's no... Ephesians 4:30, "Wherefore grieve not the Holy Spirit of God whereby you're sealed until the day of your redemption." The Bible speaks. And Ephesians 1:13 says the same thing, many other places, that the Holy Spirit is the Seal of God.
What is a seal? A seal cannot be put on anything until it's complete. The Lutherans wasn't sealed; the day of the dispensation of grace wasn't completed; they preached justification. Methodists wasn't sealed (I'm getting to a question here; we'll get to it a little--a little later.), not sealed, because it wasn't completed. But the baptism of the Holy Spirit is the completion of the works of God.

L-163-86 He said, "There are three that bear record in heaven: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and these three are One." You can't have the Father without the Son, the Son without the Holy Ghost; they are One.
He said there are three that bear record in earth: the water, the Blood, the Spirit, and they are not one, but agree in one. there you are in one complete sealing: Justification under Luther, water; sanctification by the Blood.
Justification was Romans 5:1, "Therefore, being justified by faith we have peace with the--God through our Lord Jesus Christ," justification by faith.
Sanctification through the Blood, Hebrews 13:12 and 13, "Jesus suffered without the gates that He might sanctify the people through His own Blood."

L-163-90 Luke 24:49, "Behold, I send the promise of My Father upon you; but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem till you're endued with power from on high. (Acts 1:8) After this the Holy Ghost is come upon you, then you'll be witnesses of Me in Jerusalem, Judaea, Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth." A Holy Ghost baptism was to last until Jesus returns again. "A little while and the world sees Me no more, yet ye shall see Me, for I'll be with you, even in you, to the end of the world, doing the--the things that I do, you'll do also," through His Spirit, working through the church. He said you'll be made fun of; said, "They called Me, the Master of the house, Beelzebub, the chief of fortune-tellers," said, "how much more will they call them of His household now?" Said, "Blessed are ye when men shall say all manner of things about you; rejoice and be exceedingly glad, 'cause great is your reward in heaven; for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."
That's Scripture. See? There it is. So, you see, you just got to have it, friend. Now, you've got to make your choice; you're a free moral agent.

L-163-92 But that's the connection with the Protestant church and the Catholic church. Together they are both, according to the Bible... who only holds to the church, not Jesus, now, to the church... People in the church that's holding on to Jesus Christ and praying for God to open up the way and make them--give them Light, that person's saved; I don't care what church he's in. That's right. But if he's just holding on to his denomination, he's taken the mark of apostasy, which is taking the place of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Contrary... And the Catholic and Protestant both alike, the Bible said she was a whore; they were harlots, her daughters. Is that clear now? All right.
