<TITLE>17. Par 121-131</TITLE>L-121 What's your name? [The brother says, "Myers."--Ed.] What? Myers. This is little Brother Myers. How old are you? Ten. Someone might say, "Why do you baptize this little boy?"
Jesus said, "Suffer little children to come unto Me; forbid them not, for such is the Kingdom of God." Suffer them to come. This little boy wants to be baptized. I believe they had to go out and get clothes for him, or something, to be baptized. He's convinced. Let us pray.
Lord God, Creator of heavens and earth, Author of Everlasting Life, and Giver of every good gift, send Thy blessings upon this child that comes to You this morning in this icy tomb. As I baptize him with water, fill him with the Holy Ghost.
And upon the confession of his sins, and his faith in the Son of God, I baptize thee, my little brother, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. [The brother is immersed--Ed.] Bless his little heart.

L-125 All right, Sister Ungren. This lady here has been a trophy of God's grace. This is mister--Mrs. Ungren, the mother of the Downing girl and the girl that was before her, that was just baptized. They all come from Memphis, Tennessee. This has been a friend of ours for years and years. And she's from a trinity church down in Memphis, Tennessee. I would not tell Sister Ungren or nobody not to go to the church. Certainly, you go to your own church. That's all right. But she's not doing that because she has something against her church; she's doing this because she's convinced by the Gospel that this is apostolic baptism. God bless you, Sister Ungren. She's been ill, going through a time of life; it's not done her any good.

L-126 And Sister Weaver, as you're standing here, and a witness that that... And many of you here who knows that, when you were rebaptized again in the Name of Jesus Christ... Some of you out there with cancer and couldn't get well, when you were rebaptized in Jesus' Name, the cancer left you. Mrs. Weaver's one of them. And the lady across the street there is one of them, that--that did it.

L-127 And I'm trusting God that this will be the end of your suffering, sister, because you've obeyed the commandments of God.
Now if you'll just put your arms right around mine, just any way you want to hold. Let us pray. All right.

L-129 Lord God, Creator of heavens and earth, here stands Your servant, and she's been sick for some time, but, O Lord, she stands here today in this pool to be baptized into the Name of Jesus Christ. Lord, I've loved these people, and have prayed for them constantly, that they would see this great Light. For I believe, Lord, that it's, all my heart, it's the way that You have ordained us to go. I pray that You'll heal Sister Ungren now. May every trace of sickness be left in this pool. May she rise in new health, and in the power of the resurrection of Christ.
Upon her witness and her confession, and her faith in the Word of God, I baptize thee, my beloved sister, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. [The sister is immersed, then the curtain is closed--Ed.]

L-131 All right, brother. I believe you're a radio technician, aren't you, or something another? [The brother says, "Radio announcer."--Ed.] Would you turn and stand. What's your name? ["Bert Maine."] Bert Maine. You turn... Yeah. [The curtain is opened.]
This is Brother Bert Maine, the radio man, news man, news broadcaster for the radio station, that's convinced that the water baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ is correct. Have you been baptized before, brother? He's been baptized before in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. But convinced by the reading of the Word that this is what he should do, a man of his caliber and his profession, comes straight to the water to want God to bless him and to give him what He has for him in life. May God bless this loyal servant of His.
Just walk right up here, Brother Bert, put both arms right around mine, this right here. That's it. Let us pray.
