<TITLE>14. Par 85-90</TITLE>L-85 And I.. It started raining and the storms a-blowing, and I seen this fellow; I spoke to him. Went up there and found out that I was on his ground. See? And I talked to him; he said, "Oh, that's all right." he said, "My, just hunt anywhere you want to."
And I said, "Well..."
He said, "You wasn't on my ground; you was setting beyond that hickory tree." Said, "On this side of the hickory tree is my ground." But says, "It doesn't matter, Brother Branham; hunt wherever you want to. Come on up to the house. Pappy would like to see you." See?
And I said, "Well..."
We got to talking about the Bible. Then when we--on hunting subject he said this, he said, "Brother Branham, there's nobody down here cares for anybody hunting." But said, "My daddy was out here one day and some city hunter come out and killed one of his sheep that weighed about sixty or seventy pounds, and he hollered at the guy, and the guy shot at him with a rifle." He said, "That's what makes it bad." Said, "We don't care for hunting."
Well, that's the same thing that I'm speaking of. I don't care what denomination you belong to, but stay with the Bible and with the Holy Spirit. It isn't your denomination that we're worried about. Just as soon belong to one as the other. But it is staying with the Bible or accepting man-made dogmas. Stay with the Bible.

L-87 Now, they brought forth denomination which was wrong. Now, the next thing they had brought forth, which was a error was water baptism. Water baptism as taught in the Bible is by immersing, but the Catholic church brought forth sprinkling or pouring. And there is no Scripture in the Bible to support sprinkling or pouring, no such a place found in the Bible. It's by immersing.
Well then, when along came after the Catholic church and the Lutheran church with their pouring, and along came the Anglican Church and so forth as it come down. Then after while the Baptists come in and the Campbellites to get back to immersing again. Well, Satan seen that, so he just give them a false name to immerse in. And they started using the name of the Father, and Son, and Holy Ghost. There's not one speck of Scripture in the Bible where anybody was ever immersed in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. And ever who teaches it is a false teacher.

L-89 Now, I told you I'd make it stick. Now, if you don't think that's right, I want your question on this platform showing me. If you can show me one place where anybody was ever baptized in the Bible in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, I'll put a sign on my back as a false preacher and go up and down the streets crying to the top of my voice with my hands up, "A false teacher." There's no such a thing. Where did it come from? Now, go back; this is this side the Bible. You have to get the history. The Catholics believe in many gods, and they broke down the one true God into three different gods.

L-90 And hear me, what a horrible thing was in the paper the other day concerning a great man, that we all know to be a servant of God: Billy Graham. We have the statement; Brother Beeler there has it. When it was asked Billy Graham by certain, "Who--what was this great contradiction about the trinity? Was there three gods, three actual Gods, or how was it? One place it looked like three gods and one looked like there was only..." Billy Graham said, "It hasn't been revealed. Nobody knows." My, if there is three gods, we are heathens.
Like the Jews said, "Which one of them is your god, the Father, is the Son your God, or is the Holy Ghost your God?" There's only one God. And those are not three personalities, for a personality has to be a person. It can't be a personality without being a person. You know that. How can anything be a personality without being a person?
