<TITLE>13. Par 47-49</TITLE>L-47 I can hear the apostles saying, "Well, we'll probably have some bishops and high priests, and we'll have all these things you know." Said, "We'll just go up and wait and see what the decision is. We'll see whether we're supposed to have organizations, whether the bishop is going to run it, or the pope's going to run it, or whether some great man's going to run it. We'll see who He elects. Wonder if I'll be the big one. Wonder if I'll be the big one." The other one said, "I'll be over all of it. Well, he impressed me. He leaned on my shoulder. He did this." Oh, my. Taken them ten days to get ready for it.
While they were waiting for this, then they all got in one accord. That's the way we do tonight. That's what we should do at this conference. All you Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Catholics, and whatever you are, we should all be in one accord, waiting to hear the return. And after the--the most glorious place it could be settled at was in glory. God came down, and the conference was held: How the church must be run. Must it be run by bishops, by organizations, by some mechanical devices? How must it be run? And they were a hundred and twenty all in the upper room waiting...?... the returns came.

L-48 And suddenly there came a priest up the road, his collar turned around in the back, "Lick out your tongue and receive the holy eucharist." That sounds silly. Oh, no. That's wrong. The bishop come down and said, "Now, wait a minute. We can't stand for these things." No, no.
But suddenly there came a sound from heaven, like a rushing mighty wind." Not the pastor say, "Give me the right hand of fellowship. We'll try you for six months." No, sir. There came a sound (not from a seminary) but from heaven, like a rushing, mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were setting. And that big Pillar of Fire that led the children of Israel, the ancient Israel, through Israel separated Itself, and tongues of fire set upon each of them, God dividing Himself in the Church: one to be prophet, one to be apostle, one to speak with tongues, the other to do something else, God dividing Himself.

L-49 One God worked in three offices: one God called the Fatherhood. The same God lived in a Man called Jesus, called the Son. Now, He is in His Church called the Holy Ghost. Divided Himself in His universal Body. Hallelujah. The mystical Body of Jesus Christ that's borned of the Spirit of God...
Therefore as it was said by the--by our rabbi brother this morning, our beloved one, about unity together. We are not divided. The devil tries to divide us by his mechanical divisiveness by saying, "I belong to the Assemblies. I belong to the Oneness. I belong to this. I belong to that." But we are not divided. God gives them the Holy Ghost who obeys Him and both sides has received the Holy Ghost. Who obeyed Him? We are not divided: all one Body are we. That's our conference purpose. We are not divided. We are one Body.
