<TITLE>11. Par 45-48</TITLE>L-45 At the beginning, it was Pentecost, not an organization but a Pentecostal experience that brought the Seed of God down by the Holy Ghost, made men and women speak in tongues and stagger like drunk man, Spirit operating in the Church, showing signs and wonders. "Wasn't so at the beginning."
You say, "Well, I belong to the great, holy church."
That wasn't so at the beginning.
"I belong to the holy Romans."
I... it wasn't so at the beginning.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] branch... If it ever puts out another branch, it'll be a Pentecostal branch. It'll have the same fruits, same signs, same wonders that the first branch put forth. You say, "I'm a Lutheran."
"It wasn't so at the beginning." You're grafted in and living on the Name of the Lord Jesus when you're not bearing that fruit. The signs of the believers don't follow you.
"These signs shall follow them that believe." And they went forth preaching everywhere, the Lord working with them confirming the Word with signs following. If we got anything different from that, "it wasn't so at the beginning," the way they got the Holy Ghost at the beginning, that's the way we get It today.

L-46 You say, "Well, I don't--I don't know. I got... I believe maybe when I believed I received the Holy Ghost."
"It wasn't so at the beginning." They believed and then received the Holy Ghost.
Paul said in Acts 19 to them Baptists up there who had that converted lawyer for a preacher, Apollos. He said, "Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?"
When you say you've got it when you believed, then it wasn't so at the beginning.
You say, "I've been sprinkled and I say..."
"It wasn't so at the beginning."
"I joined..."
It wasn't so at the beginning. Never joined no church at all at the beginning. They were borned into the Church at the beginning, and if that... That's right.

L-47 You're born into it, and if this Vine ever puts forth another branch, it'll be like a branch... If the Vine ever puts forth another branch, it'll be the same kind of branch that Acts was wrote on. It'll have the same doctrine. It'll have the same power. It'll show the same signs, because that's kind of the Church they had at the beginning.
Let's stop hybreeding ourselves. Let's go back to the Word like it was at the beginning. You like that? I live on that.
Let's speak to Him now that wrote That while we bow our heads.
Is there any in here this morning that feels like that you've been crossed up somewhere and you'd like for the Holy Spirit to come in this morning through a birth?

L-48 And hybriding was such a horrible thing in the Old Testament. He said, "A bastard child shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord for ten generations." There's nothing to breed him out, only that sin. Think. Ten generations, four hundred years before a illegitimate child could ever come into the Kingdom of God. There was no serum to take care of him. He had to just breed it out through the family. Four hundred years 'fore a illegitimate child could into the congregation of the Lord.
But today, since the Blood of the Jesus Christ has been shed and you've been interbred by all different kinds of ideas, the Holy Spirit is here this morning to breed you back to the original, bring you back to Pentecost, breed you back. And we sit together this morning in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, letting the Holy Spirit [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?... work. What is circumcising? Cutting off all the hybrid, the surplus, the things of the world, the things of the church age, bringing us back to Pentecost like it was at the beginning.
