<TITLE>25. Par 155-158</TITLE>L-155 If you feel the least tug, don't turn It away. What is the Holy Ghost? God in you. What's It for? To continue His work among His people; to bring His church together; to bring a church to a place in this day, far beyond the Lutheran, Methodist, and Pentecostal, into a place to a adoption and a rapturing grace, that when this part of the church, when the Spirit moves into this church here, it'll just raise. And it'll bring forth, bring forth all of the redeemed that's touched that Spirit. Those Lutherans who stood there with all the light they had in Justification; those Methodists that fell on the floor, and they throwed water in their face from the Spirit striking them through sanctification; those Pentecostals, that they walked up and down the streets and they called them "tongues demong," and "Jabberers," and "goose language," and all of that; they'll stand in the righteousness in the sight of God at that day just as certain as this Bible stands here. If you believe me to be a servant (You call me His prophet; I don't call myself that, but you listen.), I'm telling you in the Name of the Lord: Those that are in Christ will God bring with Him at His coming, at the resurrection, and only those that are in Christ.

L-156 How do we get in Christ, folks? By one creed we are all joined in? No. By one handshake we are all pulled in? No. By one water we are all baptized in? No. Or by one denomination we are all denominated in? No. "But by (I Corinthians 12:13)--by one Spirit (Holy Spirit, God's Spirit) we are all (Methodists, Baptists, Lutheran, Presbyterian... 'Walk in the Light, as He is in the Light, we have fellowship one with another, and the Blood of Jesus Christ, God's son, cleanses us from all unrighteousness.')--by one Spirit we are all baptized into one Body and been made partakers of His grace."

L-157 You cannot go to judgment. "He that heareth My words and believeth (No man can believe until he's got the Holy Ghost.)--and believeth on Him that sent Me (when the Holy Ghost has testified of His resurrection) hath Eternal Life, and shall never come into judgment, but has passed from death unto Life." What? You'll never catch the judgment. You'll never stand at the white throne for judgment; you meet your judgment right here. You've passed your judgment when you've passed and say, "I'm no good, and my learning is no good. Lord, come into me, and take me, and lead me, Lord. I don't care what this crazy world says. Lead me, Lord, by Your Spirit." You've judged then. Judge yourself as a fool for Christ. And in His righteousness that day we'll stand immortal in His likeness.

L-158 Only one way, how? "By one Spirit we are all baptized into one Body." And when you're in that Body, judgment has already judged that Body; and you've accepted Him as the propitiation of your sins. You say, "I've done that, Brother Branham." Then if the Holy Ghost has come back and give you a seal as a sign, that Spirit brings you into the Body of Christ. You turn back the other way, and you're a new creature in Christ Jesus. You've passed from death unto Life. Old things have gone, and you are new in Christ. Amen.
Oh. Please let me persuade you, my Christian brother or sister, don't let this revival pass you. You must receive the Holy Ghost. What is It? The Spirit of God. What was It for? To lead you, guide you, fill you, sanctify you, call you out into the church. What is a church? What does the word "church" mean? "Called out, separated (oh, how I could take a sermon from that right now.), called out, separated," aliens, away from the world, pilgrim and stranger, professing that we have here no earthly city that we desire to live in. Oh, my.
