<TITLE>12. Par -</TITLE>L-528-112 Now, if there'd been an interpretation to that tongues and told the judge "THUS SAITH THE LORD," certain-certain thing that would have been true, "THUS SAITH THE LORD, Judge, what are you standing here judging me for when last night you lived with a prostitute? Her name was Sally Jones; she lived down at 44 Certain-certain-certain place, like that. Why do you judge me? That's THUS SAITH THE LORD. Now, deny that and you'll drop dead." Now, oh, brother, there's something different there.
But when you just stand and speak, and he said, "You're a barbarian to them." See? Now, you know when to hold your peace and when not to do it. See? Now, that's... See, I'm... You get me straight now; you know what I mean. See? That is. Certainly...

L-529-114 We got that question right on down here. The reason I was holding it like this, we got the same thing, "Are they supposed to hold their peace?" You see? That's the reason I didn't answer it out no more than what you was saying. But that's the time; answer it now (See?) right now. And we'll get it also on this question down here, and I'll just refer back to it. Does everybody understand that question all right?
[Brother Fred asks, "Brother Branham?"--Ed.] Yeah. Yes, Brother Fred. ["Does--does a person speak in the Spirit, giving the utterance (say he's an Englishman and he could speak English) and would the Spirit give the utterance?"--Ed.]
Certainly, Yes, sir. See, because the Holy Spirit speaks in every language, See? On the day of Pentecost every language under heaven was gathered together. See? Speaking in English... Now, I always know this, Brother Freddie, myself, that I... If I ever preach a sermon there's any anointing to it, it's the Spirit giving the utterance. You see? It's the... See? So that would be an unknown tongue to a man that didn't understand English. But yet...

L-529-116 And just like the unknown tongue is not an unknown tongue, it's... There's somebody there... Like on the day of Pentecost, they said, all these sinners, they said, "How do we hear every man in our own language? How do we hear these Galileans speak in our own language?" There wasn't no unknown about that at all. There's no such a thing as unknown tongues at Pentecost. Now, see, that's not Scriptural at all. See? There wasn't unknown... It wasn't no unknown tongue; it was a language. "How hear we every man in our own language wherein we were born?" Nothing unknown about it at all. See? That... Any question on that now, right now 'fore we leave it? "How hear we every man in our own language?" See?

L-529-117 [A brother says, "That's where there's a little error because of human weakness, and when people will fail to accept anything, only say, 'I won't believe it any way, only according to Acts 2: 4.'"--Ed.] Well, if they had it according to Acts 2:4 they certainly wouldn't speak in an unknown tongue. ["No, in a language."--Ed.] Uh-huh. They'd have to speak in the--in the language that the people heard you (See?), 'cause every man heard in his own language.
Now, if I receive the Holy Ghost right now, according to... I say... I believe there's one brother here seeking the Holy Ghost, which is--is--is Brother Wood. Is that right, Brother Wood? I don't mean to call you out, but all... We're just brethren here and we're wanting to say this. And he's seeking the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Now, if Brother Banks received the Holy Ghost there, the correct way, if he received It according to the Bible, he'd rise up there, speak it, he would speak it in English, and saying, "Jesus Christ the Son of God has raised." He was speaking it with fiery prophecy that tells it. "I know that He is, because He's just come into my heart. He's the Son of God. My sins are gone. There's something happened to me." See? There you are. That's speaking in the... "How hear we every man in our own language?"
