<TITLE>19. Par 162-170</TITLE>L-162 Now, remember, if there never was a person ever baptized in the Bible, any other way but in the Name of Jesus Christ, Jews and Gentiles, and outsiders and everything else, all had to come and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ. I challenge any man to show me where one person was ever baptized in the name of "Father, Son, Holy Ghost," or for three hundred years after the last--the death of the last apostle. Why, it's plainer than my ten fingers before me. You can't see it until God opens your eyes. Well, that... If that isn't the right revelation, then why did Peter have the same revelation, turn right back, ten days after Jesus told him "Go baptize in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost," Peter turned right back around, said, "Be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ, every one of you"? Then this must be the same revelation he got. And the church out yonder in their...?... trinitarian has got the wrong revelation, then they're not using the sap Line. They took a rag and wrapped it around there, and it's dropping the Life of God upon there; it'll kill the patient. Oh, how many more things could we go to: in your creeds and things, what it's done.

L-163 Let me just clear this little one up. I want you to go in and take your Bibles just a minute, so we going to just make it so simple that children understand it. Turn to Matthew the 1st chapter. You got Matthew 28:19. Go to Matthew the 1st chapter, 18th verse. Look here.
I want you to look close. This is the Father on my left. This is the Son in the center. This is the Holy Ghost on the right. Now, Who is the Father of Jesus Christ? God, the Father. Is that right? You all believe that? I sure do. God, the Father, is the Father of the Lord Jesus: Father, Son, Holy Ghost.

L-165 Now, I'm quoting Scripture. Look, look. And you can look it up when you go home or look it up now. "Now, the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise," Matthew 1. Look here. As I've often said, if you're reading a storybook, and read over there in the back, and just pick up Matthew 28:19 like this in a storybook, "John and Mary lived happy ever after." Who is John and Mary? Go back to the first of the book and find out who John and Mary is; if He said, "Go ye therefore, teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father."
I want to ask you something. Is the "Father" a name? [Congregation says, "No"--Ed.] It certainly isn't. In the Name of the "Son," is "Son" a name? It's a title, just like "Father." Is "Holy Ghost" a name? No, it's a title. Holy Ghost is what It is.
You say, "Holy Ghost is a noun." So is human. See, I am a human, but my name's not "human."

L-168 That's what It is, It is the Holy Ghost. That's not Its Name; that's what It is. Then if "Father's" no name, "Holy Ghost" is no name, and "Son's" no name, then what was the Name of the "Father, Son, Holy Ghost"? [Congregation says, "Lord Jesus Christ"--Ed.] Certainly, certainly. Now, see, "Father's" not a name.
He said, "Go baptize them in the Name of the Father, of the Son, of the Holy Ghost."
Peter turned back around, said, "It's the Name of Jesus Christ." Now, that's exactly what the procedure they followed all through the Bible.

L-170 Now, what did they do? What has their translators, or the church men done? What's the organizations done? Wrapped an old denominational rag around in order to be popular with the rest of them. If I have to eat soda crackers, and drink branch water, and be martyred, I'll stand for God's Truth and die on the stump. That's right. There's not no man, the pope of Rome, or no bishop or cardinal, can withstand That. Yes, sir. What's the matter? What the palmerworm left, what the Methodist left, the Baptist eaten; what the Baptist left, the Pentecostal eaten. What a--what a--what a place; the Lifelines are all gone. This is just a minor thing.
