<TITLE>10. Par 29-33</TITLE>L-29 In traveling overseas, going to Africa and different places. Seeing, I believe I told you the last time I was here...?... got to the first meeting in Africa, where we had thirty thousand converts in one...?... I believe the Gospel.
Then when we started to India, after coming through here and telling you that I was making a trip to India, our first stop was, after we left New York was to Lisbon, Portuguese. They had a big van waited and we climbed on board, there was a German boy who knowed about all the...?... Well...?...
Well, I...?... statues of Christians, and so forth. They had a little dinner. And there was a chance to testify of the glorious Gospel in the--their presence. Portuguese is almost a hundred percent Catholic. They don't go to church many of them, but they're... That's just the national church, so they--they're Catholic by--'cause they're Portuguese. And they think that we're Christians, because we're Americans. That don't mean they're Christians.
Because your father and mother was a Christian is no sign you're a Christian. You're a Christians when you're borned again of the Spirit of God in you. Then you're a Christian.

L-30 But in there, we found a little Pentecostal church way back along the hillside. Oh, they're just about everywhere. And there we could have a meeting for a couple of nights where we went back up on the hill. We wasn't supposed to pray for the sick over there. But here when I got rid of everybody that was with us. And we went up praying for the sick. And you talk about a healing, we had one. Oh, my, hungry hearts loving the Lord.
Immediately afterwards was an altar call, a hundred percent of them were Catholic people believed. They accepted the Lord Jesus. Oh, a marvelous meeting...

L-31 And from there, we took off to Rome. And as you know, I'm not a reason... My people before me were all Catholics. And of course, I wanted to visit Rome.
Well, I have nothing against the Catholic people, are present today. My Catholic friends, I have no more against you than I do the Protestants. I don't call myself a Catholic, or a Protestant, either one. I call myself a believer in the Bible and the worship the Lord Jesus Christ.

L-32 Here's why. The Catholic says, "This Word's inspired, all of it. But the church is over the Word." That's wrong.
The Protestant says, "This is inspired, as much I believe in It to be inspired. What we see's not inspired, where we think that's not inspired... You just take it, which part, just what your theology will permit them to say It's inspired.
To me it's every Word inspired, and it's only foundation for the Christian. I believe it's God's Word. I know what...?... But it's true today. It's perfect as I'm standing here and...?... It's God's infallible, eternal, ever present Word. And frankly, It's God Himself living in Word form.
Isn't that wonderful? Think of it, people: God Himself in Word form. Why, friends, I'd rather take that than up all councils of the Catholics, Protestants throwed together. This is God's Word. God never died...?... He was in the beginning the Word, and He's still the Word.

L-33 Now, in there we wanted to see the Vatican city...?... hotel and so forth. That was true...?... We went to see the Vatican city, over in Saint Peter's, and so forth.
Now, I probably got a little discouraged that day in saying Peter was buried in there. I don't believe that. 'Cause I believe they had a little discussion about that. And they wouldn't believe, so then... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] all times...?... into those catacombs, go in there, seeing all the pictures and the workings of the early saints had gone under the ground, so it was just a graveyard under ground. The little babies, you see where they buried...?... So then God might have a few words about that. If you want to believe the...?... then I believe...?...
Said, "Here's where Patrick was buried."
I said, "That don't look very much like him, the way you got the graves there."...?...
