<TITLE>26. Par -</TITLE>L-504-156 But when that cork was pulled out, when the Spirit begin to flow through, he said, "You men of Judaea, you that dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known unto you and hearken to me. (Amen.) I'm boss. Let this be known unto you; these are not drunk. (Taking up for his church.) These are not drunk as you suppose, seeing it's the third hour of the day, but this is that which is spoken of by the prophet Joel: 'It'll come to pass in the last days, saith God, I'll pour out My Spirit upon all flesh.'" Umm, what a difference. Whew. My, I know you might think this is a terrible thing, but I--I--I must let you see what's Truth. Stay with It.
Now, certainly, you have Eternal Life. Now, to explain this. This day... "If we say we have sinned not ('All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.') we make God a liar." He said you'd sinned. If you say you haven't sinned... I've...

L-504-159 "I was borned in the Baptist church, Methodist church, Pentecostal church, Presbyterian church; I was born in that." That don't make a bit of difference; you got to be borned out of it again. That's right. If we say we've sinned not, you make Him a liar. And the Word, which is the Truth... How many knows the Word's the Truth? "In the beginning was the Word... and the Word was made flesh, and Word..." "Sanctify them, Father, through the Truth. Thy Word is the Truth." And He was the Word. See? And the Word, or the Christ is not in you... He was the Word. How many of you know that? See? All right.
We'd read it like this then: "If you say you have sinned not, you make Him a liar and Christ is not in us." See, see? Now, that's... See, when you say that you've sinned--that you haven't sinned, you're wrong. You've got to be born again.

L-505-161 Now, we'll turn over here at this other verse. "He... Whosoever is borned of God does not commit sin, does not commit sin, for..."
Now, what is sin? Who said that, somebody? Unbelief. That's what the Bible said. There's only one sin, and that's unbelief. That's right. "He that believeth not is condemned already." See? So you--one will sin.
Now, if you say, "Well now, wait a minute. I believe that they might have got the Holy Ghost like that in them days, but I don't believe it's so."
"But, brother, the Bible said, 'The promise is to you and your children.'"
"I know, but..." You're sinning. You're sinning right there. You're disbelieving what God said.

L-505-164 "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever."
"Well now, we're taught that..."
I don't care what you're taught. The Bible said--He said, "Let every man's word be a lie and Mine true." All right.
You say, "Well, He--principally He's the same, but I don't... You mean He's the same?"
"Yeah, in the Church doing the same things He did when He was here."
"Oh, I can't believe that." You're sinning. See? You're sinning. And he that's borned of God, of the Holy Ghost, don't say those things. And if he says he's got the Holy Ghost and says those things, that's the evidence he hasn't got It. I don't care what he done. If he don't believe in Divine healing, don't believe in the power of the resurrection, don't believe in the Holy Ghost being poured out upon us just exactly like It did in the first age, just the same God yesterday, today, and forever, the same things the apostles done happening right now, speaking in tongues, and rejoicing, and all these other things; if they don't believe that, he's not borned of God. For whosoever is borned of God does not commit those kind of things. That's how to tell whether they're borned of God.
