<TITLE>30. Par 267-269</TITLE>L-267 You are a Christian when you are filled, and there's no other way; there's no creeds, no denomination you can join, no prayers you can say. They're all in vain. You've got to be born of the Spirit of God, or you're lost. "Except a man be born again, he will in no wise see God." That's right. You must be born again. And to be born again, you've got to be filled with the Holy Ghost, the energy of God. God... you've got to open up your life and throw yourself out and let Diety, God, tabernacle Himself in you. That is truth my brother, sister. God help us all to receive it, is my prayer.

L-268 Brother Teddy, "Take The Name Of Jesus With You." What'd you say? Billy wants me to announce that he will not send out cards this week to you people that wanted to come to the meetings, about next week, for it's been announced already.
Do you love the Lord, with all your hearts? Will you raise your hands to pledge, "God help me, help me, Oh God to take the Name of Jesus with me? May I live the Name of Jesus. May I see Him in peace. May I invite Him into my heart. May He come into my beings. Let me from this day Lord, be wholly Thine." We pledge this Lord, to You, as a people after this message. That no matter what denomination, what sensation, what we have done: whether we have shouted, whether we have screamed, whether we have spoke with tongues, whether we have danced in the Spirit, or any of these sensations... Oh God, let the Holy Spirit bring it into the hearts of the people now to know that those things doesn't count. That it's tabernacling Diety, God, in our hearts. Grant it Father, we ask it in Jesus' Name, that You'll mold us and make us after Thy will. Amen.
At the Name of Jesus bowing,
Falling prostrate at His feet,
King of kings in heaven we'll crown Him,
When our journey is complete.
Precious Name, (Now shake hands with one another.) how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven,
Precious Name...?...
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.

L-269 I want to make another announcement. I forgot, I didn't know it rather. There's a baptismal service following this one. If anyone here that has not been baptized in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, let me say to you as God's servant, baptism is essential to salvation. He that believeth and is baptized, and is baptized, shall be saved. Now if you haven't been baptized in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and you have believed on Him and confessed your sins, come now forward after this service and you'll can be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins.
Remember, Matthew said, "Go ye therefore, teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost." The Name of Father, Son and Holy Ghost is the Lord Jesus Christ. Father, Son, Holy Ghost is titles that belong to the Name of Jesus Christ. All the early church baptized, until the birth of the Catholic church, they all baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ. Take "The Nicene Council", "The Fathers" and so forth, the history and you'll find. But then they went to using titles instead of Name. We as a church, a group of people, no organization, we remain with the Bible. It's the Name of Jesus Christ...?...
Take the Name of Jesus with you,
As a shield from every snare;
When temptations 'round you gather, (Listen, what do you do, when temptation?)
Breathe that holy Name in prayer.
Precious Name (Precious Name), O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven;
Precious Name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.
Bow our heads now. [Brother Branham begins humming--Ed.]
Falling prostrate at His feet,
King of kings in heaven we'll crown Him,
(When?) When our journey is complete.
Precious Name...
Brother Neville...
