<TITLE>08. Par -</TITLE>L-655-52 But now, "Will these who have not..." Let me read this to be sure it's right. See? "Concerning other baptisms, are they saved or not? Also those that have gone on and never received the light?"
Well, I believe--I believe strictly that God called His people and ordained His church, and all those that would be there, before the foundation of the world. I believe the Bible teaches that. And I believe that every man that loves God with all of his heart will seek after Truth. I--I--I believe that, that they'll do that. Every man that loves God will do that.
I believe if a man was baptized wrong ignorantly, not knowing that he was baptized wrong... Now, I can't say this Scripturally. But I believe it with my heart, that if a man did not know what to do right, and he did something the best of his knowledge, I believe that God would overlook that and save him anyhow, 'cause he didn't have... Remember, back in the days of Wesley, back in the days of Luther in the reformation, those great man of God who God honored and proved that He honored them, they died in the faith (See?), with all the Light that they had.

L-656-55 And there may be things I believe yet like... Anybody hear Charles Fuller this morning on "Old-Fashioned Revival Hour?" He's one of my favorite teachers of the Bible, yet he's way, way old, and... But I think he's a great teacher of the Bible. And he said this morning (he was teaching on--on prophecy, I believe); he said that--that there were great things ahead, things that the church knows nothing about would be opened up to the people. I said, "Amen." to that. I believe that we still have great Light coming on now that'll just flood the earth one of these days for a short period, maybe just in a matter a months. But I believe that there's great Light coming.
I do believe that any person upon their faith and sincerity and walk in all the Light that they have will be saved.

L-656-57 Remember, in the coming of the Lord Jesus, you remember how that He found those who walked in all the Light that they had to walk in? Remember what happened? "Is not he a good man, even a Roman Centurion, he's built our city--or our people a synagogue, and he's (all these things he'd done)--he's worthy of this blessing that's being asked for him." See, God's a understanding Father; He knows your heart, whether you really see Light or whether you don't see Light; He knows.
Now, I truly believe with all my heart that the correct answer for this question is that the correct baptism is in the Name of Jesus Christ, and that those who was baptized contrary and in their heart, not selfish, just say, "Well, I don't want to fool with that..." Now, that person, that'll be up to them and God. But if they didn't know any different, I believe that they're saved. I--I believe it with all my heart, because they didn't know any different.
We could stay a long, long time on that one, but we try to get to all of them if we can.
