<TITLE>11. Par 195-202</TITLE>L-195 O Heavenly Father, we pray that You'll bless this young woman. How my mind goes back to just a few days ago, coming up in Henryville and seeing that lovely little girl walking around there on the street. And tonight, she's a mother, a lady. She's accepted You as her personal Saviour. Life has been hard for the child, Lord, O God, but a Heaven is sure for her. And we thank Thee for that. We pray, God, that You'll bless the young woman now. And as she comes to be baptized with water, may You fill her with the Holy Spirit of God. Grant it, Lord. May her soul be just so thrilled, into the Heavens! Grant it for Your glory. We ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-196   I want to read from Acts, the 2nd chapter; Peter speaking, on the Day of Pentecost, the first baptism that was ever performed in the Christian Church. Peter, rebuking the Pharisees and the blind people, for not recognizing the Son of God; speaking of how that God had raised Him up, and proved His works, in great signs and wonders. Listen to this, as he spoke. He was exalting Jesus.

L-197 Every Christian's spirit exalts Jesus, not only by your lips, but by your life. Your lips can say one thing, your life do another. If you do that, you know what it is? It's hypocrisy. And I'd rather face Heaven as an infidel than a hypocrite. I'd take my chance better, I believe, in Heaven, as a--as an infidel, than to be a hypocrite. I certainly... If you testify for Jesus and say "He's the Saviour," you live like that, 'cause people is going to expect it out of you. That's right. You live like a Christian ought to. We went through that this morning.

L-198   Now, Lord willing, tomorrow night, or... Wednesday night, we're taking this 3rd chapter, which is a marvelous chapter. And now, be sure to try to come Wednesday night. How many is enjoying this Book, of this Sunday school teaching? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Oh, thank you very much. That's fine.

L-199 Now, I want to read now from Acts, the 2nd chapter, beginning at the 32nd verse.
This Jesus has God raised up, whereof we... are witnesses. (They knew it.)
Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, He has shed forth this, which you now see and hear.

L-200 Now listen at him speak about David, one of the angels.
For David is not ascended into heaven: but he said himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
David couldn't go up; he was under the shed blood of heifers, and goats, and sheep. But now he could raise; he was under the Blood of the Lord Jesus. For they only answer to that Blood when It would come in force. When the Blood of Christ come in force, all those who had died in good favor, rose, that's right, and ascended in to Glory.

L-201 Now listen.
Therefore let all the house of Israel know... (Listen to this.)... that God has made this same Jesus, whom you... crucified, both Lord and Christ.
What about that? Is He a third Person of the trinity, or is He the entire trinity? He is the entire fullness of the Godhead, bodily.

L-202   There is no such a thing as three Gods: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. That's not even in the Scripture, nowhere. Nowhere is it. Nowhere was we ever commanded to baptize, "In the name of the Father, and in the name of the Son, and name of the Holy Ghost," not nowhere in the Scriptures. It's a Catholic creed, and it's not for the Protestant church. I'll ask anybody to show me one Scripture where any person was ever baptized any other way than in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Come, show it to me, and I'll put a sign on my back, "A hypocrite, and a false prophet, a false teacher," and go through the streets. There's no such a thing. Never was anybody baptized that way. It's a Catholic creed, and not a Protestant doctrine.
