<TITLE>08. Par 45-50</TITLE>L-45 That's the same thing the church has done. It's adopted... Here you are. It's adopted politics, educations. It's adopted organizations, societies, big churches, high cafluting preachers. And when the real King comes, they don't know Him, and they're crucifying the very Holy Ghost that's their King. They don't know Him, but they laugh at Him and make fun of Him. As they--Jews did their Messiah, the church is doing their Messiah the same way. They don't know it. They haven't got the spiritual insight, because they're so indocumated with their eyes and what they see, great buildings, trying to compare with the world. We're never exalt--exhorted to compare with the world. We're exhorted to humble ourselves.

L-46 And one is the majority in God. And today in the healing evangelists out on the fields, there's such a competiting--competitors. One says, "Well, bless God, I have so many thousand. I got a bigger meeting than you have." What difference does that make? If we have one or one million, what difference does it make? Are we true to God? Are we true to His Word? Do we stand under test of the Holy Spirit? Is it true? That's the main thing.

L-47 But we compromise upon the Bible. A lot of our Pentecostal people, upon the fundamental doctrines of this Bible, compromise. There's... I don't want to hurt feelings. I'm in my own church, and I feel that I shoul--I could do just what in my church, because I'm preaching the Gospel. But there's tens of thousands of Pentecostal preachers knowed that there's no such a thing in the Bible as the baptism in the name of "Father, Son, Holy Ghost." I challenge the archbishop, or anybody, to show me where anybody was ever baptized in the name of "Father, Son, Holy Ghost." But they compromise, because the organizations has did so. There's not one person in the New Testament, and for three hundred years afterwards, by history, but what was baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ. What is it? Organization. That's did it. Compromising...

L-48 And today they've took all the street workers off the streets. They've took the tambourine out of the church. They've taken all the glory out of the church, and got seminary preaching, little old rooster-comb preaching, all polished in society, and their women wearing shorts and dresses that they're skinned into, and men smoking cigarettes, and gambling and telling dirty jokes. It's a disgrace in the sight of God. I know that's rough, but it's time somebody said something. Compromising, giving in, acting like the world...
I don't care if I have to stand alone, with nobody but God alone, I'll preach the truth of God's Bible and stand for it. If I die, I'll still stand for the truth. Certainly. We want truth. I'll measure up not according to the church, but according to the Word of God I want to measure up.

L-50 But Delilah, did you notice, she knowed that Samson had a power. And she didn't know where that power laid. She couldn't tell what that power was, but there was some great power that Samson possessed, and she wanted to find it. And, as Delilah, she kept wooing Samson after her beauty. Oh, she dressed herself real sexy. And she walked before him and she tee-heed like some of the little teen-agers of the day, and--and so forth, and when you act like something another, a striptease, trying to woo Samson to her.
