<TITLE>21. Par 197-213</TITLE>L-197 Now, on the day of Pentecost, they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and speaking in tongues, and--and acting like they were drunk. And they were drunk; they were drunk on new Wine, the new Wine that come from heaven out of Canaan above. And when they were all screaming, and shouting, and acting like they were drunk and so forth, Peter stood up in the midst of them and told them that they were not drunk, but they were--they were... This was that that the prophet had said would come to pass, He'd pour out His Spirit.
And now, they--they said, "Men and brethren, what can we do? Men and brethren, what can we do?" That's the question. "How are we going to get It? Who's got the keys?"
"Come here, Simon. You got the keys; pull them off your side. What are you going to say?"
Now, remember, Jesus Christ said, "If you bind it on earth, I'll bind it in heaven. If you loose it on earth, I'll loose it in heaven." If He's God, He has to keep His Word."

L-200 Now, you Catholic priests, show me your forgiveness of sin. A Catholic priest told me one time, said, "Didn't Jesus say, 'Whoever sins you remit, to them they are remitted'?"
I said, "He said it."
"'Whosoever's sins you retain, to them they are retained'?"
"Yeah."
"That's whoever you forgive, they're forgiven; whoever you don't forgive, they're not forgiven."
I said, "That's correctly what it said."
He said, "Then didn't Christ give His church, which we are His church, the power to forgive sins on earth?"
"Certainly did." I said, "Now, if you'll forgive them the same way that they forgive them, I'll go with you." Yeah. I said, "How'd they forgive them? Did they tell them, go do a novena or something, or the way you do?" No, sir.

L-205 Peter said, "Repent." Amen. There's the key, "Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and then you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." The key went "click" on earth, and went "click" in heaven. That's it.
That's the reason when Paul met some that already been baptized by the same man that baptized Jesus, he said, "Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?"
They said, "We know not whether there be a Holy Ghost."
He said, "To what..." You take your Greek word, said, "How was you baptized?"
They said, "Unto John."
Said, "That won't work any more. Heaven's done closed. You have to come and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ."
So they heard this; they were baptized over again in the Name of Jesus Christ. And when they did, Paul laid his hands on them; the Holy Ghost came upon them, then they spoke in tongues and prophesied.
Oh, brother, that's back to the beginning. That's exactly. That's the open door that was set right here. Geographically it's right, the evening Lights, and every Scripture in the Bible leads right to it.

L-213 We could stand here for hours, and we got fifteen more minutes time, and about thirty-five different comments to make here. And so we'll get them in the morning if we don't get them tonight. All right.
Now, all right.
... and no man shutteth it; for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word,... (All right?)... and has not denied my name.
There we got it: "Not denied My Name." Name had been revealed, got away from the old dead Sardis denomination, and had come into the living church.
Now, let's take the 9th verse. Now, we're going to watch now; we're coming over into something that's very dangerous.
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before Thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
There's a good night full right there. Watch. What are they now? Them that He talked to, that had found His Name after all this time here down here, come in the open Door Jesus Christ, got the Word of Life, been filled with the Holy Ghost, and now He said, "There are those among you who are in the synagogue of Satan."
