<TITLE>16. Par 64-67</TITLE>L-64 So many called Christians today, running from denomination to denomination, they run out and take their paper, say, "I'm tired of being a Methodist. I'm going to become a Baptist. I'll take my papers over to the Baptists." Baptists run over to the Presbyterian. Presbyterian run over to this, that, and the other. The Pentecostal groups are running from one to another. What you doing? What's the matter? It goes to show that builds up steam. You don't know where you're standing.
"Who is right, Brother Branham? Is these right, or these right, or is this right?"
Christ is right. "How do I receive Him?"
"He that heareth My Words, and believeth on Him that sent Me, has Eternal Life. And I'll raise him up at the last day." Amen. Because what? He believed God's Word. That's it.
Some would have us to believe that you have to shout to get it. The Methodists believed that. They found out there's lots shouted had a lot of steam behind. That's right. Built up tempers and fought the Lutheran.
The Pentecostals says, "You got to speak with tongues to believe it." They spoke in tongues and fighting one another. "You old Oneness, I ain't going to have nothing to do with you."
"Old Trinitarian, I ain't going to have nothing to do with you.  "Old So-and-so, I..." See, it's still under steam. You've never got to the right place yet.

L-65 But, brother, when you come to that place that you're dead and raised with Him in resurrection, you love your brother, your sister. There's no denomination can break that barrier. You are Christians, and you're one in Christ Jesus, whether you're Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, or whatever you may be; and see Him moving among us. That's right. Amen.
See what our denominations get us? A bunch of tommyrot. Separates our fellowship, breaks the barriers, puts the people under pressure, and everything, trying to fight for an organization. It's going to die and perish. It don't have to die; it's already dead. It was dead to begin with.

L-66 But Christ--you're in Christ, you're alive. If you're in Christ you believe His Word. If you're in Christ He manifests Hisself to you. If you're in Christ you've passed from death unto Life. "The Name of the Lord is a mighty tower: the righteous run into it and are safe." Not the denomination is a mighty tower; not the creed is a mighty tower, but "The Name of the Lord is a mighty tower: the righteous run into it and are safe."
Let off the steam; just come to Christ. Don't come, "Well, I'll take the creed of this church. I'll take the creed of that church." Take the power of God. Take the Name of Jesus Christ. Pray in it. Baptize in it. Pray the sick in it. Cast out devils in it. "In My Name they shall cast out devils." Live in it; shout in it; walk in it; die in it. Amen. "Whatsoever you do in word and deed, do it all in the Name of Jesus Christ, giving praise to the Father." Amen. That's it.

L-67 "The Name of the Lord is a mighty tower: the righteous run into it and are safe." Now, you can't come through some--some creed or--or something like that. You've got to die and come to it. You got to walk into it, and die to yourself, and raise anew. And then every word of God becomes a real...
Could you imagine a man having the baptism of the Holy Spirit, that wrote the Bible, and then say, "The days of miracles is past"? Could you imagine a man, no matter how deep he is in theology, or--or whatmore, deny the very Word of the Bible, that the Holy Ghost wrote, and say the Holy Ghost is in him?
