<TITLE>19. Par -</TITLE>L-328-742 A young man asked me this morning about spiritual gifts, about speaking with tongues, a young fellow, very sincere. I believe he's to be a minister some of these days. And about the church, I said, "There's so much of it that's flesh. We don't want that, but we want the real thing. We long to have it."
You can't go to teaching in the church; the first thing you know, you get, one's got a tongue, one's got a psalm, then you have to battle the thing out. But when God has give a gift sovereignly, it'll manifest itself. That's right. See, that's the gifts of God; that's what He sends to the Church for overcoming.

L-328-744 Now, the antichrist has something like pro and con; it has the--the--the perverted way of doing it. And that's the Roman empire which sends gifts one to another, natural gifts. God sends spiritual gifts to overcomers; the Roman sends natural gifts to one another.
We believe the Holy Ghost is a Spirit; we receive It by a baptism that comes from on high.
The Catholic church teaches, "A holy eucharist which is the body of Christ, that when you receive this bread and kosher, it is the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost, the holy eucharist." See?
We believe it's a piece of bread; we don't believe it is the body of Christ. We're fixing to take it in a few minutes. We believe it represents the body of Christ. But it isn't...

L-328-748 That's the difference between Catholic and Protestant doctrine. See? The Catholic church says, "The body is... The bread is the literal body. The church has the power to transform this." Did you ever see a Catholic passing a church, bow his head, make crosses? Is because that little light's burning in the church there under that little tabernacle; it's got a light in there; and that kosher bread lays in there. "And that's the body of Christ. And when you take that, you're absolutely taking the literal body of Christ on your first communion and your confessions and so forth: you're taking, literally, the body of Christ."

L-328-749 We say that it represents the body of Christ (See?), that it's nothing in the world but a piece of bread. And no matter if it wasn't even bread, if it was anything else, it was to represent just the same, just--just exactly what it is...
Like these people that say, "I wouldn't be baptized in a pool, I want to be baptized in the river."
What difference does it make, as long as you're baptized? If it's in a pool, and... Why, Philip was baptized in a pool... when the eunuch was baptized... When Philip baptized the eunuch in the pool, the Holy Spirit raptured him so much that He caught Philip away; and he wasn't seen for two hundred miles, caught Him in the Spirit, give him a--a chariot right out of heaven for two hundred miles. Amen. Wonderful.
Now...
Where will the saints be after the one thousand years' reign? And what kind of a body will they have?
I'll get back to that in a moment [Brother Branham answers this beginning at paragraph 820, as question 74--Ed.]. They'll be with Jesus.

L-329-Q-72 All right, the--the seventh question.
72. How shall we judge angels?
That's found in... How shall we judge angels? By being sons and daughters of God. Angels are servants; we are sons and daughters of God. And the Bible said that we'll judge angels. That's right.
