<TITLE>40. Par 339-346</TITLE>L-339 One night he staggers into a little mission somewhere, and he hears the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Said, "Say..."
He's got up on the first step, justification; got up on the second step, sanctification; now he's ready for the baptism. See? One, two, three, he's ready for the baptism. When he gets up there, he reads down in the Bible; he said, "That's exactly what they done. Yeah, that's exactly. That baptism in the Name of Jesus, that's what they done. That's right. He said to read that over. I read it all through the Bible; he's exactly right on that."
"Bishop, what do you..."
"None of that nonsense."
"Oh, I see now."
"They got the Holy Ghost; they spoke in tongues; they done these things; they healed the sick. Oh, yeah, that's exactly." They was looking over (You see?); he's looked in the borderland. "Oh, if I'd teach that to my church... Oh, I'm Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist. Oh, the bishop will throw me out. Well, we just can't do that. We can't have a meeting like that in our church; every one of them would get up and walk out."

L-343 "He who was once enlightened in this and have tasted of the heavenly Gift, if he shall fall away from that walk he's taken, go back to renew himself again unto repentance, because he's sinned against God..." What is--what is sin? Unbelief. He's sinned against God. And what's he done? He's counted the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, as if it was an unholy thing, and done despite to the works of grace that's brought him up there. There remaineth no more sacrifice for him, but a fearful looking for the fiery judgment and the indignation which shall devour the adversary, "For vengeance belong unto Me," saith the Lord.
"For the Word of God is sharper, more powerful than a two-edged sword, cutting even to the asunder of the bone, and a Discerner of the thoughts and the intents of the mind." There you are; there you are. When you see the Light, walk in it. Walk in it. You don't know where you're going, but keep walking, walking towards Calvary, keeping a sensible look at Calvary, walking, walking.

L-345 O God, may someday, the church, which is a type of Enoch. Five hundred years he walked before God, walking, walking in the Light, with a testimony that "Everything God said, he did it." He didn't displease Him. What the Lord said do, Enoch done it.
Now, he was a type, remember. The ark is a type of the Jews, the hundred and forty-four thousand that's carried over, which is Noah and his bunch; but Enoch went home just a little bit before the flood. You know that. So Enoch just kept walking in the Light till one day he felt his feet getting off the ground. He just kept walking, and he walked on into glory without even dying. That's right. God took him away because he was walking in the Light, with a testimony that he walked in the Light of God, kept walking, walking.

L-346 Let's get on our walking shoes, church.
Keep walking in the Light, beautiful Light,
Comes where the dewdrops of mercy are bright;
Shine all around us by day and by night,
Jesus, the Light of the world.
Let's sing it now.
We'll walk in the Light, beautiful Light,
O come where the dewdrops of mercy are bright;
Shine all around us by day and by night,
O Jesus, the Light of the world.
All ye saints of Light proclaim,
Jesus, the Light of the world;
Then the bells of heaven will ring,
Jesus, the Light of the world.
We'll walk in the Light, such a beautiful Light,
O come where the dewdrops of mercy are bright;
Shine all around us by day and by night,
O Jesus, the Light of the world.
