<TITLE>23. Par -</TITLE>L-545-216 Now, for instance, say Brother Crase--Crase--Crase, say he was a Baptist preacher, and he never knew nothing about the baptism of the Holy Ghost, neither did he know any of these things, the gifts of the Spirit, and he was a good, faithful Baptist preacher. See? But the first thing you know, this come before him. And I believe that every child of God will be... Every age will seine it till He gets him. The Kingdom can't come until the will of God has been done. That's right. And not one will perish. You see? Now, see, that's the way.
And the Kingdom of heaven's like a man throwing a net into the sea and brought it forth. When he had, he had all kinds. He kept the fish, and the turtles and terrapins went back in the water. He threw it again, got some more, maybe got one fish. But He kept on seining till it was all seined out. See what I mean now?
But that fish was a fish in the beginning. It was just put in the Master's use; that was all, put them over in another pond where it was better, clearer. But He's still seining in this frog pond till He gets all the bass out of it. See what I mean? You get what I mean, Brother Taylor. You ought to know by yours up there.

L-545-Q-113 All right, now:
113. Does he that... Does he at all times have control over the Spirit as to when and how to act?
Yes, sir. Yes, sir, the Holy Spirit controls. Yes, sir. It has control of you and you have control of It, and It'll never make you do anything contrary to the Scripture. It'll make... "The Spirit does not misbehave Itself unseemingly." That's right. Okay.
"From one who loves you..." Yeah, that's...?... All right, now we will jump to another one here and see where we're at.
I think that had a basis. Now--now, when I'm calling these now, if there's a question... Was there a question any more on this? We all understand it? We understand how we believe it now?

L-546-222 [A brother says, "I got one question."--Ed.] Go right ahead. On this here yet? Okay. ["Yes, on that one there. I kind of hesitated, but..."--Ed.] Don't hesitate, this is--this is... ["You were talking about the man that's preaching, and if he's not preaching the message that Christ brought forth, and regardless of what happens in his ministry. When he comes in contact with the Truth and he rejects It, then what?"--Ed.] He's lost. Excuse me just a minute for... ["In reference to predestination or ordaining him to come into the world?"] That's right. That's right. See? ["Then, as it was, he wasn't to be that way?"--Ed.] Wasn't to be that way in the beginning. See? "They went out from us because they wasn't of us."

L-546-223 For instance, like this, it's the same thing in Hebrews 6. See? People misinterpret that Scripture so much; they think it's impossible. He said, "It's impossible for those which were once enlightened and made partakers of the Holy Ghost, if they shall fall away." See, they just don't get It. He says, "It's impossible for those which were once enlightened and partakers of the Holy Ghost, seeing that they should fall away, to renew themselves again to repentance, seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh and put Him to an open shame; counted the Blood of the covenant wherewith He was crucified with an unholy thing, done despite to the works of grace."
Well, to me, it's a revelation. Sure. It's just like Acts 2:38, and Acts--and Matthew 28:19. You just have to catch It. You see?
Now, look, here it is, the same thing. Well, now, he's speaking to Hebrews. See? Now, read on down through the chapter, far as them goes ahead and say, "For it's a fearful thing to fall in the--fall in the hands of the living God." Now, here's a man just like that borderline believer. Here, here's a... Here, the same thing was here, perfect example I see in my mind.
