<TITLE>15. Par -</TITLE>L-21-2 Let's for just a moment transport him, and bring him here just a minute, and find out if they would or not. Let's just see whether he would--whether the--our churches would receive him today or not.
The first thing he would do; he would disagree with every organization, 'cause it's contrary to the Word. Uh-huh. Yes, sir. He would condemn our whole setup. That's right. Every doctrine, every creed, every denomination, he'd condemn the whole thing. I just imagine; I can see some of these Pentecostal presbyters saying, "Why, glory to God. If he... Why, we wouldn't have that man in our town."
And what do you think the Presbyterians and Baptists would do? "Why, that ignoramus, we don't want him around our country. He's nothing but a--a crank." They'd sign a paper to put him in prison, if they could, get him off the street. But you think you could keep him there? Oh, no. You can't cage the Word of God. No, no. It'll come forth anyhow. Prison bars opened one night when they tried to cage It. A Light came in and delivered him out. No, he--he would certainly disagree with our setup. All right.

L-21-5 What would he start doing? Tearing it down. Why? He's a servant of God. He would go straight to the foundation to start his campaign, right straight back and tear every creed off of it and go back to the foundation. What is the foundation? On God's Word. Right. "Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall not."
So he'd tear every denomination, every creed, every doctrine, out of it, and throw it sideways; he'd blast it into eternity. You think the Pentecostals would receive him? No, sir. No. Baptists, Presbyterians? No, sir. Nazarenes, Pilgrim Holiness? They'd hate him. Certainly.

L-21-7 You think they'd go out and meet him in a--a limousine and bring him into the city? They'd pray for the sun to scorch him up there. They'd set up a barricade to keep him out of town. Why, there'd be more ministerial meetings around over the city you ever seen in your life. "Keep that crank out of this city." But yet he had THUS SAITH THE LORD. See? That's the way of a true prophet.
He'd be despised. Certainly. He would go straight to the foundation for his campaign. He wouldn't need... He wouldn't say, "Now, I want all you Methodists to come in now and help me. I want you Baptists, I want all you people around here... All you Pentecostals, you claim that you're the last group that God's going to call; I want you all to come to me, and I want you to support my campaign."

L-22-2 "How do you baptize? Uh-huh. What's the initial evidence of the Holy Ghost?" Those questions would be throwed in his face; and when he come back with the Bible Truth, they'd turn him down. But that's the way of a true prophet. He's got all that to confront. See?
Certainly, we wouldn't receive him. No, sir. Our--our... "We wouldn't have none--we'd have none of his campaigns around in our--our country. No, indeedy. Well, we wouldn't have him. No, sir."
But he would come and bring the church back to the Word, for That is the Foundation. And anybody lays on any other foundation, it's sinking sand. Upon this Foundation alone God builds His church: upon the doctrine of the apostles.

L-22-4 As I was saying the other day, there's someone talking about--about purgatory and give references to many like St. Francis and St. Cecilia, and she praying for certain people and--out of purgatory, and give such an authorities as that. That's unscriptural authority; it's people who does not have an authority. The apostles had the Scriptural authority, and if it's contrary to them, it's a lie, as far as I'm concerned.
