<TITLE>26. Par -</TITLE>L-550-248 Now, let's look how it won't jive with Scripture. See? Now, it won't cooperate, I mean to say. Pardon me, I didn't mean to say jive with Scriptures. I mean cooperate with Scriptures, or follow, coordinate with Scriptures is the best word.
"Now, the man speaking with angels' tongues," he says, "that's the tongues of the Holy Ghost," said--he said, "now, when you, we, they received the Holy Ghost..."
I said, "Did... When, where'd you receive It at?"
Well, he told me exactly the spot, the minute and the hour. I don't doubt but what he did. See? I have no... I'm not his judge. See? He said, "That's where I spoke it." He knowed exactly the place. Said, "Something happened to me."
I said, "I believe it. See? But still that wasn't the evidence of the Holy Ghost to you, son."
"Oh, yes." Said, "That--that was it."
And "No."
He said, "Now, look, I want to tell you something, brother."
I said, "Did the people in your audience, that church there in Indianapolis where you said you received It, did those people hear you speak in English telling them of the resurrection and the power of God and everything?"
He said, "Why, no. I spoke in--in unknown tongues."
I said, "You never got it according to Acts 2:4, 'cause every--wasn't one word unknown. 'We hear every man in our own language.'"

L-551-254 "Oh," he said, "Brother Branham, I see where you're confused." He said, "You see," he said, "there's tongues that's tongues of angels. When you receive the Holy Ghost," said, "then you speak in tongues and nobody has to interpret that; that's--that's the Holy Ghost speaking. See? But then you have a gift of tongues, and that's to be interpretation."
I said, "Then you've got the cart before the horse. On the day of Pentecost they got the cart before the horse. Before they got the Holy Ghost, unknown tongues, they spoke in tongues that was understood." See? So you read it...

L-551-256 There is two different tongues. Tongues of angels, that's the man in private prayer out yonder somewhere speaking to God, speaking to God in angelic tongues. I could just call you a case right now, but I haven't got time. You remember when the woman come to the auditorium there, in where Doctor Alexander Dowie's from, Zion. Remember me down there? And Billy come after me down there to get me to go to the meeting; I said, "Billy, go on back." I...
He said, "What you crying about? Somebody been here?"
I said, "No, sir. You go on back; tell Brother Baxter to preach tonight."
And I got down on the floor and I said, "Lord, what's the matter with me?"
And all of a sudden I heard Somebody at the door, speaking in other languages. I thought... It was German; I thought, "Well, that fellow's come up to get him a..." I stopped, you know, praying; I listened at him standing there like this. And I thought, "Well, how that guy will ever understand that?" 'Cause I knowed the man that run that motel, about five miles out of the city, you know. I had to get out there, so many people around, small town. I said, "Well, that's strange. Huh." And I said, "There... Well, boy, did you ever hear a... what... That guy don't even get his breath, hardly (See, I was thinking that.), hard as he was speaking." Well, I said, "Well, that... why, it was me." I just kept real still; he didn't say any, just kept real still. After while He got through speaking, and when It did, it felt like I could run through a troop and leap over a wall.
