<TITLE>02. Par 4-8</TITLE>L-4 We're happy for this happy group of people mixed up here in all different kind of denominations. It's just God's children throwed together. There's people in here that's Methodist, Baptist, Nazarene, Pilgrim Holiness, Catholic, Jehovah Witness, Christian Science, Pentecostal, everything throwed together, even a Jew. Praise the Lord for that. Thank you. We're very happy for the Jew. Yes, sir. If it--if it hadn't been for the Jew, I don't know where we'd have been. That's right. Well, that's very fine.
That's the way heaven's going to be. Exactly. Where heaven's going to be all gathered of all different denominations, and that's the reason we're setting together in heavenly places.
Now, Doc, that was a bit of psychology. I know it was. You... I wasn't close enough to it.

L-5 Being just a little hoarse this morning. It'll get in second gear after while and get started off, you know, when I get started, I believe.
Now, I did have some questions come in last night pertaining yet to the meeting. If the Lord willing, I'll answer them real quick tonight before we have the--the regular preaching service tonight. And so... So be sure to come tonight, if you possibly can. And if the Lord willing, I want to preach on a very vital subject of the closing of the revival tonight, as far as we know unless the Holy Spirit would lead farther.

L-6 Many of you, of course, will have to go back to your homes today, or after this service, maybe this morning. We want to say we appreciate you so much, and we want to wish you a Merry Christmas, and the best of the New Year. God be with you, and give you new things, more of the new life that you're seeking and hungering for. That's what I'm doing myself, is hungering for more of God.
There's several of the questions is... I just got a few in the room just then they gave me, and some brother gave my son last night some questions. And I didn't get a chance to get to them, because I just stuck them in my pocket, and it was so late. And some of them pertain back again to that Math--or Hebrews 6:4.

L-7 Sister Mammie just said a few minutes ago, there's a... She's so happy to get ahold of that, 'cause she had asked the same question some time ago. That's a very, very striking thing. But I'm sure all of you got it, what it was. I hope you did.
It is not a Christian that's filled with the Spirit. Now, if you'll go to Hebrews 10, you'll see that he said in there, it's different. Then he's talking the unpardonable sin to the Christian. But this is... to the filled person. But this is a person that's a borderline believer that's just tasted... We have them in all churches. Just come to church and... Oh, they appreciate what the Lord does, but they'll never move into it. They appreciate seeing someone healed, but they'll never make the effort of going out and praying for the sick and visiting the hospital, or doing something that's right (See?), like that. You seen them kind. They've tasted; they've seen.

L-8 Just like, I said that Cain's... Canaanites--or the Israelites when they was nearing Canaan, they went almost in. They went there far enough to get to taste the fruits out of the land, but they said, "Oh, we're--we're not able. We--We can't do it." But Joshua and Caleb knowed they could do it, because they had God's promise.
And that's what Paul's trying to speak of, refer back there to them that have come nigh unto it, so near, but they won't put their hand on it themselves. They just say, "Oh, I--I go to church, them churches. I go to--to a holiness church, Pentecostal church. I go to this."
"But have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?"
"Oh, no, I haven't just yet did it." See? There you are.
But a real believer can't rest until he gets into it. He's just got to get out there in it. See? Just kind of a--a borderline, now, that's the person that Paul's speaking of.
