<TITLE>24. Par 97-99</TITLE>L-97 Now, don't get mad at me when I tell you you ought to leave your hair grow, and quit smoking cigarettes, and--and quit wearing shorts, and doing all these kind of things, and live like Christians ought to. See, "All I love I chasten and rebuke. Be zealous and repent." What He said... "And he that'll open the door and let me in, I will come in and sup with him and he with Me. I will, if you'll just open the door." Not, "maybe I will, I'll think it over, I will. I will come in to every one that'll open the door." Oh, them certain sounds. I love that don't you? Yes, sir.
You say, "Well now, Brother Branham, I tell you what I did. I--I went and joined the church. I believe now, that I was saved." That isn't what it is. Huh uh.
Peter said on the day of Pentecost, said, "Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the Holy Ghost." No--no--ma--you--Maybe you will receive it. No, no, no maybe about that. "You shall receive it, for the promise is unto you, to your children (and them in Middletown), or as many as the Lord our God shall call. (It's certain.) And as many as received Him, to them gave he the power (glory to God) to become the sons of God." To sons, as many as believed was added to the church. How did you get in the church? "By one Spirit we're all baptized into one body." Nothing uncertain about it; it's certain, a certain sound.

L-98 Have I done run two or three tapes out here, Leo? I'll just stop. I just keep you here, half the night. Oh, my.
Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever." Is that right? He will be part or the way.? He--He will be some of the--the? He will be the same; no uncertainty about that, is there? Not at all. All right.
"He that believeth on Me, has Eternal Life. Nothing uncertain about that. "He that heareth My Words and believeth on Him that sent Me has Everlasting Life." Nothing uncertain about that. Is that right? It's a promise of God. Repentance towards God, and be filled with the Holy Ghost, Divine healing, and all those things, are certain; it's the promises of God. "These signs shall follow them that believe.

L-99 Now, you say, "Brother Branham, I belong to the Assemblies." That's good. I'd just as soon belong to the Assemblies as any church. It's a fine church. One of my greatest sponsors is Assemblies of God.
"I belong to the Church of God." Well, good, I do too. Church of God and I belong to the Assemblies also. See? And... Church of God, one of my great sponsors.
"I belong to the Foursquare," you say. Well, I do too. See? They're--they're a fine church. I--I--I--a fine group of people. There just only one church in all of them: they're all together as a church, but that--them groups are fine. See?
"I belong to the United." For sure, I do too. See? They're fine, fine brethren. See? All right. I belong to them too; I belong to them, because I'm in the same church they are. Every one that's been filled with the Holy Ghost... Because by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body. Is that right? Now, that--that--that's not an uncertain sound. That's I Corinthians the 12th chapter: "By one Spirit we're all baptized into one body and become members of that body." Amen.
