<TITLE>22. Par 70-73</TITLE>L-70 Then if you say... If you can take that, and connect the Word with the dynamo, then if the dyn... Then if the current comes back saying it's right, you've got a connection. If you put up there and nothing happens, you got an insulator somewhere, got a broken line somewhere. See? But put it up against the dynamo; if the current comes through, then you got a straight conductor. You got a conductor. And if you want to believe it's so...
I tell you how I received it. I come just the way the Bible said it. I never varied for any denomination. My own Baptist church put me out because I wouldn't ordain a woman preacher. It's not Scriptural, and it's not right. And I said, "You might as well put me out, 'cause you have to sooner or later. So I'll just walk out before you do do it." All right.

L-71 Then I--then when it comes to a lot of these stuff today, I... When I was just a boy, before I ever heard of Oneness, Twoness, three Gods, four Gods, ever what they got, I believed there was one God, and I believed that His Name was Jesus. And I was baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ by a Missionary Baptist preacher, 'cause I asked him to do it. I've preached it ever since.
There's no Scripture in the Bible... You bring me one Scripture where anybody was ever baptized in any other... Show me one place in the Bible where anybody was ever baptized using the titles of Father, Son, Holy Ghost. Or read the history and tell me, until the Catholic churches was organized, anybody was ever baptized in the Name of Father, Son, Holy Ghost, then I'll walk out of the pulpit.
It's a Catholic creed, and every man or woman baptized that way is not baptized into the church of the living God. They're baptized into the Catholic church. That's their creed. Show me in the Scriptures; show me by history, anything outside the Catholic church ever did it.
And Luther brought it out and Wesley after him. Here we come down in this. Each one of them churches, down to that, said, "He's not denied My Name." But when it come out over that Thyatira Church Age, He said, "You got a name. You got a name that you're alive; but you're dead." That's it.

L-72 I don't mean that the water baptism in Jesus' Name saves you, but that's correct Christian baptism. You're saved by faith (That's right.) through Christ. That's right. But that's correct baptism. That's the way you shall be baptized (exactly), the way you must be to keep in Bible order. You must be baptized that way.
Then when you have received the Holy Ghost and the power of God comes upon you, then you'll do the very same things that Jesus did, 'cause it's His Spirit in you. If there's not, there's something wrong. That's right. Oh, glory. I feel like I could almost speak in tongues now myself.

L-73 You know, the first time I ever spoke in tongues I was in a Baptist church, preaching. I was standing upon a platform preaching as hard as I could and jumped plumb out in the middle of the aisle. And I said some words in unknown tongues, not knowing what I said, looked around, and all the congregation stretched their necks and looked around. And something said back through me, "I'm the--the wilder--a rock in a weary land, a shelter in the time of storm." And first time I ever spoke in tongues.
And, my. I knowed there was something real about it somewhere. I didn't know, but I kept on till I found it, just kept on going, sold everything, and bought that great Pearl. My, I don't care... If the Bible says... I--I believe It. I don't care how many organizations, how many says this, that, or the other. It's God's Word, and It's the truth, and I stay right with It. That's all. And the only way you're ever going to do it, is stay word by word with the Bible.
