<TITLE>28. Par -</TITLE>L-42-4 That's the reason Micaiah could know that his prophecy come from God, because he was with the Word of God. Yes, sir. His vision banked up just the same as the Word of God.
Oh, if Amos was here, he'd stay with the Word. That's right. But you see what's the trouble today with us is like it is with them. (I'm fixing to close.) The trouble with us is like it was them. They had been taught off the Foundation. Jesus said, "You have made the Word of God of non-effect by your traditions."
And that false baptism, that false sign of receiving the Holy Ghost... Some of them say, "Shake a hand."
Some of them said, "Speak in tongues."
I've heard devils speak with tongues and shake hands too. Yes, sir. That's no sign of It. Now, look, all these things like that, all those things... See? You get off the Word of God to teach those traditions. That's right.

L-43-2 Now, he'd--he'd have to take you back to the Word. But we have--our teachers today has taught people off of the Foundation of God's Word. Now, listen close. That's what they'd done there; that's what Amos was telling them. "The God that you claim to know, He's the One's going to destroy you."
Now, we have taught them off of what? The Foundation of the faith that was once delivered to the Pentecostal fathers (Yeah.): the Bible: taught a false purgatory, taught a false baptism, everything false, false, false, separating from the original. You don't believe it, come back to the Bible and take your purgatory, and take your Father, Son, Holy Ghost, and sprinkling and all that stuff, and come back and see if it's Scriptural. That's the way. Find out if it's on the Foundation.

L-43-4 See, they're off of the Foundation which Paul said that the Bible... The Bible speaks that the--the--that the Church of God is founded upon the doctrine of the apostles and the prophets. The prophets and apostles has to be the same. Sure. What? We went off of that Foundation of the Word to denominational foundations.
Listen now in closing. Put on your spiritual hearing aid. Listen, we've got off of the Foundation of the Word and on the foundation of a denomination. How long could I stay on that? Another three hours. Off of the Foundation of the Word onto the foundation of worldly pleasures, worldliness, immoral creeping into the church, off of the Word onto creeds. That would take me three weeks to preach that through halfway, them four comments right there. Off of the Word onto a denomination. Denomination and Word... As soon as the church denominates, it's off the Word right then.

L-44-1 There ain't but one thing: come right back where it left off and go again; come back onto the Word. That's right. "Repent" means "to go--turn back, about face"; you're going the wrong way. All right.
Denomination of pleasure... Denomination of wor--a foundation, I mean, of--of pleasure, foundation of worldliness, foundation of creeds, and all that together hatched out a immoral corruption, spiritual corruption.

L-44-3 He being a true prophet, he would see in us just exactly what he seen in them. If he was standing here on this platform today, and I'd say, "Brother Amos, great prophet of God, you fearless one, come here and take my place." He'd preach this Word. He'd have to; he's a prophet. All right. He would preach it just exactly the way It's written, just what we're saying now. All right. He'd be--see in them what he see in us: immoral decay.
Just look, friends. How many here in this present church here now, sees that the world's in immoral decay? Why, we know it is. Well, what's the matter? It's off the Word. That's right. All right.
