<TITLE>23. Par 73-75</TITLE>L-73 There's no doubt sick people in this building tonight. There's not a person in here I know except my wife and daughter setting there, and Brother Gene, this brother here, the brother setting right there. I believe I do know this little girl that's here, that I believe they're his daughters and this is his son, this... And then there was somebody else I passed by a few minutes ago that I... Oh, it's... I... only... I'm not sure, but the lady setting here, isn't that your wife? Uh-huh. It's your wife. All right. That settles it. How many here knows I don't know you, let's see your hands.
How many here is sick and needs God to touch your body to heal you, let's see your hand? Raise your hands. I don't care what you got wrong with you, raise your hand. All right. Pretty near sixty percent of the little audience here tonight... Then I want to ask you something: What if Jesus Christ stood here tonight, with this suit (as I've often said) He gave me? What would He do if you were sick and you wanted to be healed? What would He do about it? What could He do about it? There'd only be one thing He could do, was stay right with the Word. Is that right? Stay right with the Word.

L-74 What does the Word say? "There will be a man rise of who will have oil in his hands, and he will rub this oil..." No, that ain't the Scripture. Huh-uh. What does It say? "There will be high bishops, and if any authority is to be said, they will be the one who say..." No, no.
"They that are sons of God are led by the Spirit of God." All right. What will it say about Divine healing? "He was wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes we were healed." It's a finished work.
What if any man desires salvation? Who could give it to him? The pope? The bishop? The cardinal? No, sir. No, sir. The pope of Rome could have nothing to do with it. The--the archbishop of Canterbury would have nothing to do with it. None of the rest of them, there's none of them could have nothing to do with it. It's your own individual, personal faith in a finished work of Christ at Calvary. That's the Bible. That's what the Bible said.

L-75 "If I'll go to a Pentecostal church, will I be saved? If I'll do what the Pentecostal does?" No, sir. You won't be saved. You'll be an impersonator and a hypocrite by doing it. That's right. You get saved and do what God tells you to do, not try to act like the rest of them does. You do what God tells you to do. And your experience must line up with God's Bible. If it doesn't, then you're wrong yet. No.
"Well, if I'm a Presbyterian, do I have to join the Pentecostal church?" No, sir. You certainly do not. The only thing you have to do is come to Jesus Christ and accept Him as a finished work. And then when you--your faith is recognized of Him, He will give you the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
