<TITLE>09. Par 64-70</TITLE>L-64 Takes a Methodist and Baptist pat one another on the back and say, "My precious brother," when they have seen they can't walk together unless they're agreed.
People say, "Are you a Christian?"
"I'm a Baptist." That don't answer the question at all. "Am I a Christian? I'm Pentecost." That don't answer the question.
If you are a Christian, you are a borned again creature. You are in a mystic Kingdom of God. Your eyes are not on things of this world, but on things above. And that's when you're in the church. That is the church. It is not an organization; it can never be an organization. Take me on record. The church of the living God can never be any certain group. It cannot be an organization. It has to be a mystical Body, the Holy Spirit. A little farther, if we get time, we'll get right into it.

L-67 Now, now you see what church means? "Church" means, a "called-out bunch," a called-out people that's governed only by the King of this Messiahic Kingdom. Oh, isn't that wonderful? I love that. When I read that in the... today. And when it said there, "The Kingdom, the Messianic Empire." The writer put it, "Messianic Empire." The writer also said, "There is not such a thing as the church of the living God ever being organized. Organization is something that was adapted, adopted into, to take the place of."

L-68 That's just exactly the way all these false doctrines was brought in to take the place of the real. That's the reason the woman had in her hand a cup of the filthiness of her abomination. Now, you see, I'm not saying... The Pentecostals is just as guilty as the Catholic, or the Pilgrim Holiness, or the Nazarenes, or the Baptists, or Methodist. But in all those denominational churches, God has children. They belong into this mystic Kingdom. The only thing they're waiting for is to see that something take place that it'll draw their hearts into it. I'm so glad to know tonight that they're coming from the east and west, north and south, pulling themselves out, worshipping, waiting for the coming of the Lord. The Bible said they'd do that in the last days; that's exactly right, and said they'd "Run from the east to the west, north and south, seeking for the true Word of God; a famine not for bread and water, but for the hearing of the Word of God."
They want you, "Come join this. Come join this." There's nothing you join in the Kingdom of God, there's not one thing you can join. It's an experience of being born into the church, not joined into it. Now, I may get a little more on that in a minute, I got some more Scriptures wrote down there.

L-70 But now, let's go to the second thought, so we can try to get through all of it. "Who Set It Up?" that is, its mystical Body? Who started This? Jesus Christ. And it is the... He is the Head of this mystical Body. He's the King over it, working His Own will in His dominion. Not a bishop's control or a church board's control, but a King, which is Messiah Himself working in His Own Domain. When did it begin? At Pentecost. Not the Pentecostal organization; the Pentecostal experience. That's when it begin with you. He spoke of Its coming. He said what would take place. He told it was coming.
