<TITLE>16. Par 163-174</TITLE>L-163   Then what happened? The next thing happened, the Pentecostals seen the Fire, and away they went. And what did you do? Made a doctrine out of tongues, and organized it, "Everybody had to speak in tongues before they got the Holy Ghost," then God moved right away and left you setting where you're at.

L-164 What happened to you Oneness? You found baptism, Jesus' Name. You made a doctrine out of it, and separated yourself from the rest of It, and God moved right away and left you setting there. Right.

L-165 What happened to you Assembly of God, old General Council? You made an organization out of yours, and God moved right away and left you set. And now you're nothing but a cold, formal bunch like the rest of them are.
And the Pillar of Fire moves on. Hallelujah!
... all tables are full of vomit...

L-166   Look at the Lord's Supper. Why, they even has a place they take old loaf bread. And the bread is supposed to be made with unleavened bread. And they pass it out to sinners, cigarette smokers, prostitutes, harlots, as long as they got their name on the book.

L-167 And you Baptists even call it "closed" communion. Now, you Baptists crow a little, God will take your horn off. That's exactly right, you won't be able to toot it. "Closed" communion, you separate yourself, seem to be holier than thou art.
Remember, this is a Baptist tabernacle. That's what you get, you organize yours. "Oh," you say, "we're not an organization." Yes, you are. Certainly, you are. You say, "We're a fellowship." Yeah, to anybody that comes in the door and teach just the way you believe it, it's all right. But, one, you--you won't throw him out, but you'll excommunicate him from your brotherhood. That's exactly right. Oh, you got a way of doing it. So has God got a way of doing it. But God's Church will move on. The Pillar of Fire won't stand for that.
... all tables are full of vomit...

L-168   Now listen. Now this is going to shock you just a minute. Listen. I'll read the Word. Who was this? The prophet, Isaiah.
... all tables are full of vomit... so there is nothing clean, just dog-eat-dog.

L-169 Come to the church: women chop, bob off their hair, wear shorts, get out and see the men coming down the street; lawn-mow the yard, little girls want to hear somebody give that bull dog or wolf whistle, whatever it is, you know, "Whet-whew!" Oh, you think you're cute, don't you?

L-170 You men walk down the street, with a cigar in your mouth, and a deacon on the board. You look like a dehorned Texas steer. And then you think that you're somebody. That's exactly right. No wonder all tables... Walk up and take the communion, and act like you're somebody, and cheat and steal and lie, through the week. What's the matter with you?
... all tables are full of vomit...

L-171   "Oh, I take the Lord's Supper. Sure, we do it in our church. Jesus said He would raise us up in the last days if we took the Lord's Supper."

L-172 But, "He that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's Body. For this cause many are sick and weakly among you, and many are dead," old, dead, formal churches. The Spirit of God has gone out of you. The Pillar of Fire ain't there no more. You deny Divine healing. You deny the resurrection.

L-173 "Oh," you say, "oh, He rose from the dead, historically." Well, what about Him being the same today, if He rose from the dead? You say, "Oh, that ain't so." Now, there you are. You have the resurrection the way you want it, and God has got it in the way He wants it.

L-174 But, the thing of it is, the Bible said, what we know is the Truth, that He would confirm the Word. "And these things that I do shall you do same. And I'll be with you always, to the end of the world." "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever." That's what the Word said.
