<TITLE>06. Par 35-39</TITLE>L-35 Now, don't get the rapture of the church and the white throne judgment mixed up. Because the rapture of church, there is no judgment (See?); you done met it right down here. That's right. For they which are in Christ are free from judgment. Jesus said, "He that heareth My Words and believeth on Him that sent Me has Eternal Life and shall never come into the judgment, but has passed from death unto Life."
How do we do that? We come into Christ and are baptized into one body (I Corinthians 12), one body. We're baptized into the body of Jesus Christ, and God has already judged that body. He could not stand us in judgment again, because He's already judged that body. And by the permission and grace of Christ He brings us into Himself: I Corinthians 12. By one Spirit we're all baptized into that one body, and free from all judgments, 'cause He's done stood the judgments. Oh, aren't you so thankful for Him. He took the judgments for us: no more judgment. But those who refuse to come into Him, that body, the mystical body... How do we get into it? By shaking hands? No. By letter? No. By some sort of baptism, water? No. By one Spirit, Holy Spirit, we are all baptized into that body.

L-37 Now, remember, we're going to deal on that sharply this morning. You're either in that body or out of that body, no halfway between it. There's no pretty-good Christians. And--and you're either Christians or you're not Christian. There's no black white bird, no drunk sober man. You can't have it. You're either a Christian or not a Christian. You're either in Christ or out of Christ.

L-38 Now, these may seem teaching. I'm not... I'm a long ways from being a teacher. But teaching is cutting; that's a special gift in the--in the body of Christ. First there's apostles, and then prophets, then teachers, and evangelists, pastors; five ministerial gifts in the body. And teaching is one of the gifts of the Spirit. Now, I just have to plug along with what I see that's right and try to bring it to the people and study and bring the Scriptures together. Now... But only in Christ, the body of Christ is to be recognized.

L-39 Now, the first three chapters of Revelations deals with the church. The Gentile, Jewish, Ethiopian, Afrikaans, e--every type of people in the world goes to the Gentiles to make up this body: black, white, brown, everything. It's a bouquet of flowers (That's right.) that God puts on His altar; and that's made up of all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people.
But now, after you leave the 3rd chapter, the church ages here, God comes back and picks up the Jews, the church never appears no more during that age. It's the Jews. And God don't deal with the Jews as individuals; He deals with Israel as a nation, always as a nation.
