<TITLE>02. Par 6-10</TITLE>L-6 Now, the Old Testament is a type of the new, while I was typing it together. Today, spiritual Israel done the very same mistake that natural Israel did. And when they come up to the real place... (you're past the school of theology out there)... just exactly like they did: Exodus 19.
They can't accept it. If it does, the organization cuts them out. I have ministers before me today, fine men... The Assemblies of God is one of my great supporters. The Church of God support it. The Foursquare support it. The Oneness support it. The Twoness support it. The United Pentecostal support it. The Pentecostal Holiness support it. And some of the finest Christian ministers there is on the face of the earth is in them organizations. I don't pull any punches with those brothers. They're my brothers and they're men of God.
But the system, not the men, not the people, but the systems, winds them around and separates them from other brothers. They cannot do this when the system that they're under won't permit them to do it. That's what I'm against brethren. I wouldn't want you to misunderstand. I know that that's God's truth, and I know the thing has to die. Every type, shadow, and even the Scripture itself proves it.

L-7 Therefore, I love my brethren in the Assemblies and in all the other churches: the Oneness, and Twoness. I've never made any difference among the people, what organization they belong to. As long as they are born again and filled with the Holy Ghost they are my brothers. And I've tried to stand right in the breach and say, "You are my brothers."

L-8 Tonight, a meeting like this in the city, where about one man sponsored me, Brother Sullivan. As far as I know, that's true. When we all ought to be together, all the churches! That goes to show I'm just as much your brother, here in the pulpit tonight, as I was your brother out in Chautauqua. I'm the same person. I haven't changed. I've just got the same message, right? I love you just as much, no matter what you'd ever do to me. That don't make me feel bad towards you. If it does, then I'm wrong too. And if I get up here and rant and really lay sin to the... and unbelief and things to the hewing line, and just to be different, brethren, I'm an unfit subject for this sacred place. I'm worse off than a man that's in Scriptural error, because I'm in error myself by trying to show off or do something that's different. If I don't do it from a Godly conviction, with brotherly love in my heart, I'm wrong. And that's the way I do it, my brethren.
I've got to face sick people, demons powers. How can I have faith when I'm up against something and... that, that I really do not believe, and trying to say, "Yes, it's all right. Just go ahead." I can't do that. That's just not my make-up. I wasn't made that way. The Holy Spirit won't let me be that way. I've got to be just what I am, and everybody knows me that way; and that's the way I want to know everybody: just what you are, be just yourself.

L-9 As Congressman Upshaw said, one time (you remember him, was healed in my meetings, been... after crippled for seventy... sixty-six years) he said, "You cain't be nothin' that you hain't!", and that's right. Quicker Christians learn that, better off you'll be.
The boot-leg joint won't hurt that church so much. No. It's the man in the church that professes to be something that he "Hain't." That's what it is. That's the person. It's true.

L-10 Now, so that you'll thoroughly understand from last evening, when they walked up face to face with the promise of God behind them, that all these things were for them, and failed to believe it, and wanted to go back again and start up the same old things like they was, God let them wander right there in that wilderness till every one of them died.
