<TITLE>21. Par 62-64</TITLE>L-62 Now, my Adventist brother, I want to ask you something. That's exactly right. The Sabbath, that's kind of a strange word. The Sabbath really is a Hebrew word which means r-e-s-t, rest. It's a rest day, Sabbath day; you quit working and so forth. God finished His work, and never did come back no more. Hebrews 4 speaks of it there, He... "For God did rest on the Sabbath day. And He said in a certain place, another time, in David, 'Today after so long a time when you hear His voice, harden not your heart.' Then if Jesus would've given them another Sabbath, He'd have afterwards spoke of it. But there remaineth a Sabbath keeping to the people of God, for we which have entered into His rest, have ceased from our works like God did from His."
When do we enter into His rest? Now, you with the pencils, turn with me to Isaiah 28:8 to 12. Here's where you get it,
... precept must be upon precept;... line upon line; here a little, and there a little. (Hold fast to that which is good.)
For with stammering lips and with other tongues will I speak to this people.
"And this is the Sabbath, this is the rest that I said would come. And for all this they would not hear, walk away wagging their heads and so forth." He said that the seal of the finish of salvation, Luther, justification, Wesley, sanctification; but when the Sabbath come, the real rest day, it would be when "stammering lips and other tongues will I speak to this people," and this is the finished work. Hallelujah. This is the seal. This is the Sabbath.

L-63 Don't you see, it's the Holy Ghost, brother. That's when you enter into the finished work. If you've just been justified, that's all right, that's good. If you've been sanctified, that's good. But when you receive the Holy Ghost, it's a finished work, and God has completed His plan of salvation, and sealed it with the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Amen. Oh, my. How many believes it? The Holy Ghost in every place in the Bible is a finished work. And God completed His work.
He called His disciples by justification. He sanctified them in John 17:17. Gave them power against unclean spirits, they went out and cast out devils and come back rejoicing, He said, "Don't rejoice because you cast out devils and they're subject to you; but rejoice that your name's written in heaven." I want to ask you something now, my brother. If your name's written in heaven, is that still good? No, sir. No indeed. Judas was right with them. Judas was just as big a duck in the puddle as the rest of them was. He come right along through justification, went out through sanctification, prayed for the sick, had great results, but when it come to Pentecost, he showed his colors.

L-64 And that's just exactly what the denominational churches is done today; they've come through justification, sanctification; but when it comes to the baptism of the Holy Ghost, they're a bunch of tongues. And signs and wonders, and--and Angels appearing, and so forth, they don't want nothing to do with it. So therefore, it's so close together till it'd deceive the very elected if possible. Glory. You're going to call me holy-roller anyhow; I guess I am. I've never rolled yet, but if He'd ever tell me, I'd come right down through there rolling just as hard as I could. I'd rather roll in, and not get in at all. So--so all right.
