<TITLE>07. Par 23-25</TITLE>L-23 Now, I got my income tax papers laying down here at the post office, closes I think, at eleven o'clock this morning, so I can't preach over three hours, I'm sure. So you forgive me for my foolishness, I suppose. But even God has a sense of humor, you know, so--so we...
I have to say something to unwind myself. And you--no one, my precious, brother, sister, will never know what those visions do. Last night, after It got into the audience, the best of my memory, it all seems a dream to me after it happens. You ought to follow Billy Paul sometime, or those who have to take me along, and shake me, kick me on the shin, or talk about going fishing or something, to get me out of that. It's not while you're up there; it's not while you're down here; it's while you're in between. See?
Then like the prophet when he'd give his message and--and called fire out of heaven, and--and rain out of heaven, and then for forty days wondered in the wilderness. And God found him back in a cave. You see? It's in between; it's not while I'm standing like I am now. Not when you're up there, you feel like you could turn the world upside down. But it's when you're in between those times.
And I think they're going to have a dance in here, after while. I hope we do this morning too, a Pentecostal dance, a Pentecostal dance.

L-24 And notice, another thing I'd just like to say, amongst the Pentecostal people. There's one thing that we're forgetting friends, is our Pentecostal courtesy. See? Parking in lots... Sometimes I've noticed our Pentecostal brethren, when you could really pull in and give somebody else a--a chance to park by the side of you, just drive in it anyway; cause somebody, really makes what we call "a boo-boo" on the road, you fly loose and tear down. Listen. That's not the way to be a Pentecostal Christian. See? Let's consider the next man. If he's wrong, let him be wrong. If you pattern after him, then you're wrong. See? Let's think of the other fellow. And just try to do right, and think right.

L-25 I've got a slogan: "Do right; it's your duty to God. Think right; that's your duty to yourself. And you've got to come out right." And if you'll try to practice the right thing (See?), it'll grow around you just like a vine; it'll hug you into it. And if you can't love your enemy just as much as you love those who love you, there's something wrong somewhere. See?
Now, just think: "It's my duty to love my enemy." You've got to really love him.
I was sponsored by a group of people just recently, fine people, nothing against them, their ideas is their ideas. I draw no lines. But this group of people, seventy-two churches sponsored, and they have a--a way of they baptize by immersing, in a--a way that the others do not believe in baptizing that way. So this one district presbyter called me and said, "Brother Branham, you had a man on the platform last night that was baptized wrong."
I said, "Well, maybe he was."
And he said, "Well, we're just going to draw a little line. You're too compromising."
I said, "Just a minute." I said, "That brother had the Holy Ghost, didn't he?"
He said, "Well, he could not have his sins remitted, because he wasn't baptized for the remission of his sins."
I said, "But God give him the Holy Ghost. So if God accepted him like that, I do that too."
And listen, I would rather be Scripturally wrong, and have the right kind of a spirit, than be Scripturally right and have the wrong kind of spirit...?... It's what is in that displays itself. See? That's what... You're out... Your life proves what you are.
