<TITLE>17. Par 159-168</TITLE>L-159 And we call an old sow, call her a sow, and an old female dog, a slut. And a lot of these pretty-faced women around here is lower in the sight of God, ten million times than an old slut dog or a sow. That's exactly. That sounds flat; that's the reason people don't like it. That's when Jesus told them the truth; they turned away from Him. But the hour has come, and now is, that the Father is wanting something to worship Him in the Spirit, and walk in the Spirit, and live in the Spirit, and tell the truth.
Truth always either sets free or binds. If you're bound, then you're not free. And if you're free, you won't be living that way.
You say, "Well, I've got the Holy Spirit," and still living the same way you do? Something's happened to you. You never got the Holy Spirit that come on the day of Pentecost; It made you different.
"I don't believe in speaking in tongues. I don't believe in Divine healing. I don't believe in these things." Then you never got the Holy Spirit fell on Pentecost. You certainly didn't.

L-164 How was you baptized? "I've been baptized." How, in name of Father, Son, Holy Ghost? No wonder you act like the way you do. See?
Paul said, "Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?"
They said, "We've already believed. We're Baptists." Acts 19, see if that's not so. "We are Baptists. We've been baptized unto John," Jesu--he said, "the same man that baptized Jesus."
He said, "That won't work." Said, "You got to come be baptized over again, if you ever want to get the Holy Ghost." You might get something that looks like it, something that acts like it, a little bit; but it ain't the real Thing, 'cause, you got to come and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ." And when they did that, he laid hands on them, and then the Holy Ghost came upon them. They thought they had it.

L-168 And I want to know, that brother here that's in the church, or where it was, said that the original Greek didn't say; "you receive the Holy Ghost when you believe," said the gridg--Greek said that. I want you to know that that's wrong. That's a error; not even the Greek, not the Hebrew, or not even the Aramaic. It said, "Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believe?" Not when you believe. So ever who told that, you just don't know what you're speaking about, brother. See? No, sir. You receive the Holy Ghost after you believe, not when you believe.
The Holy Ghost is a gift of God that comes upon you, that changes you and makes you altogether different from what the world is and what the other people are. You're different. They... You don't have to dress any different; you don't have to put on a round collar and a long robe. You live different. You act different. The power of God is with you. The people know you. You're marked wherever you go. God knows His. He marks His. That's it. But you must come to the truth. See?
