<TITLE>08. Par 68-73</TITLE>L-68 Now, we don't have to compromise and say, "Well, we'll go join with the Assemblies. We'll go join with the Oneness. We'll go join with this, or the Baptists, or Methodists." Let's join with Christ. Stay free from these things. 'Cause each one of those organizations are all right, but they--they get their doctrines and their things, and you have to go see if the general overseer will let you come in that country and have a meeting. If you don't teach just exactly like they do, oust you out; you can't stay with the Bible. God can't do it; He hates it. Any other borned again Christian would too. Many of those people out there are absolutely wants to do, wants to serve, and wants to fellowship. But you can't do it; they'd kick you out. Well, let them kick you out; go on and get the Holy Ghost anyhow. That's exactly right.
But, you see, they--they want to get that--that dogma. They want to get you to where you got a lot of money.

L-69 The Baptists had a slogan in '44: "A million more in '44." What did they get?
Just like the great evangelist Billy Graham said when he was in Louisville, "I'll go into a city..." Said, "Saint Paul would go into a city; he'll make one convert; come back next year he's--he's got thirty off of that one; great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren from that one conversion." He said, "I'll go into a city, call thirty thousand up; I'll go back next year and can't find thirty." And what he said, he made a good statement, but still I don't believe that our precious brother was right. He said, "You lazy preachers." Said, "I'll give you their names and address; you set with your feet up on the desk and write them a letter instead of going, talking to them."

L-70 I--I kind of admired him for that. I like a man to be what he is, not a hypocrite; stand right out and be what you are. And I like that. But I'd like to say, "Billy, who was up there to take that convert that Paul had? What it was, Billy, if you'd just quit letting them go back there and shake hands, and wake up and say, 'Yeah, I accept Jesus as my personal Saviour,' and let him stay there till he dies, and rots, and borned again of the Holy Ghost, he'll make new converts."
Brother, you're... He's a blooming with fire, and you can't put him out. He's like a house on fire in a high wind; you just can't do it. Oh, he's spreading everywhere, brother, a real convert of Christ; he can't set still. He's just... He's on the move. Oh, I'm so glad. Oh, my. The old fashion baptism of the Holy Ghost that sets your soul afire (Amen.), 'cause I can't stand still, wind fanning you, a rushing mighty wind just keep blowing you. I just keep feeding some wood and keep going. Yes, sir.
Nobody had to take Paul's convert; Paul taken them deep enough in Christ till he got dead to himself and alive in Christ, and He done the rest of it. That's right. That's what it is.

L-72 Baptist brethren are fine. But a million more, what good does it do? You got a million more names. Well, just set down and make up some if you want to put them on there. That's all right, but, brother, what we want is names on the Lamb's Book of Life, slain from the foundation of the world, washed in the Blood, filled with the Holy Ghost, signs and wonders following.

L-73 Search the histories. I wished you all would get the Nicene Council and read those things, to see how those martyrs held that flame of Pentecost. I'll tell you now, brother, you Baptists, Methodists, and whatever you are, the true genuine Light... It's not the Pentecostal organization now; but the true, genuine Light is a Pentecostal experience. Now, I've been days and days now in those histories, digged them--into all I can find everywhere, and it's that flame of Pentecost that stayed alive from Pentecost down to this time. Yes, sir. Been pushed out...
