<TITLE>03. Par 6-9</TITLE>L-6 There's gifts, but how do you get into that body? By one Spirit we are all baptized into one body and then subject to any of these gifts. See? So if speaking in tongues then is an evidence of the Holy Ghost, all these other things has to be evidence of the Holy Ghost too. You have to do all these other things, these others: prophesy, interpret, have wisdom and knowledge. But then Paul goes on to fix that. See? Says, "Do all speak with tongues?" No. "Do all have the gift of interpretation? But God has set in the church severally..." See? He just fixed it up like that.

L-7 Then at the 12th chapter... Now, if you'll go on over to where I struck my debate to take my... The initial evidence of the Holy Ghost, I took it to be love. And the other men taken it to speak with tongues (See?), to have tongues as the evidence.
Now, Paul said it in I Corinthians 13, the next, he said now, that, "Though I speak with tongues of men and angels (that's both kinds) and have not love, I'm nothing. Though I have wisdom..." Now, he's talking about these gifts up here in the body (See, see?), having gifts without the Giver (See?), Love. See? Though I have wisdom and understand all knowledge of God, all the Scripture, can put them together like any great theologian, and have not love, which is the Holy Spirit, I'm nothing."
Now, we know that the Holy Spirit is God. We have to admit that. See? That's God. Well then, God is love. See? So you can have any of the gifts of God without having God. God is love, and Satan can impersonate any of those gifts. See? See, he can impersonate pretty near anything 'cause he perverts. Sin is righteousness perverted.

L-8 So in the debate, the gracious brother, he--him being the visitor, I said, "Now, I'm willing to discuss this with you if you'll stay strictly with the Scripture, and don't leave the Scripture." And I said, "Then at the end of the discussion, that you can shake my hand, and we'll still feel brothers to one another. 'Cause if you don't, I wouldn't do it (See?), 'cause..." I said, "Because perhaps when it's over you're going to feel the same way you do, and I will too."
"But being that we got moderators here that's sworn, business men, you know, and so forth that they're just--they're just... They're not interested in either side; they're just taking down what's facts. No matter what their decision is, it just is five or six men just form certain Scripture, way this Scripture's given, who takes it? Who really throwed the light on it; that's the one that tells. You see?

L-9 So he started off as usual, Acts 2 and 4, you know, that they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and begin to speak with tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. Well, I... And then he went from there to--to--to Acts 10:49, where while Peter yet spake these words the Holy Ghost fell on them that heard the Word. Well, then... And then he went over to Acts 19:5, and Paul laid his hand on them, and the Holy Ghost come on them; they spoke in tongues.
So that taken up most of his time and then it was my time. We was from about 7:00 till about 2:00 in the morning. See? So it was lengthy. So then when he come back, he had about thirty or thirty-five minutes on that. Then they rested the people; then let me speak again, let me speak. So I never left his Scriptures, I stayed right with his Scripture. That's the only way you can correctly, sensibly... I'm just as open to know what's truth as anybody else.
