<TITLE>03. Par 8-11</TITLE>L-8 I've been in the hospital and start--in a ward and started to pray. I said, "Would you people bow your heads?"
"We are Methodists."
I said one time to a woman, "Are you a Christian?"
She said, "I give you to understand I burn a candle every night," like that's got anything to do with Christianity.
And one said, "What?" One woman said, "A Christian?"
Said, "I'm an American." That's--that's not a very good testimony for Christianity; I'll say that. And so that has nothing to do with it.
Jesus said, "Except a man be borned again, he cannot even see (that is, understand) the Kingdom of God." And I'm very zealous of the people. I'm zealous of the church. When I see twisting, organizations twisting the people apart and separating them, making them different, and then that same group become cooling off towards the Word of God and things. That... It's nothing I got against them. I'm trying to take the Word and shake it back together again.

L-9 I was ordained one time in the Missionary Baptist church. Then, when I was called into the ministry here to... I just... Because of the--the Missionary Baptist, it's--it's not a organization, it's just a fellowship. You just belong to it. It's like a interdenomination. You can preach anything you want to. As long as you live a clean life, you can be a Missionary Baptist. You... Immorals is the only thing that puts you out. As long... And then, their baptism, they believe that the water baptizes you into the fellowship, and the Spirit baptizes you into the Body. And so therefore, no matter how you've been baptized, you got to be rebaptized to be a Baptist, 'cause it's into the fellowship. See?
And now... And then I found when I mentioned this about the Angel of the Lord to my brethren, why, they thought I'd lost my mind. But I said, "If God has sent me to do such, there's somebody to receive it."

L-10 And then when I come among the Pentecostal people, it was like putting a glove over a cold hand. See? It fit just right. Then when I come to find out they were broke up in organizations, fussing among one another, I--I wouldn't join any of them, but I stood right in the breach, and saying, "We're brothers. See? We're brothers. We mustn't fuss at one another." Why, as long as we're fussing at one another, the devil's setting back laughing. He's got us. Let's put our shoulders and efforts together, like Onward Christian Soldiers; all the organizations standing together for one thing, the Word of God. That's it. Under the Blood of His Son, Christ Jesus, let that banner wave.

L-11 I know last night, and different times, I've tried to keep the messages just as simple as I possibly could, and get them to see. And if they'll just believe that little simple message, God will lead them on.
And I--I get some, I... People thinks I get excited when I go to preach, but I'm not excited. I know right where I'm standing, but I just get to feeling good. And so, some fellow says, "You're crazy." Well, if I am, just let me alone. I feel better that way than I do the other way, so... Just reminds me of... Some of them say, "Well, we're the old church. We was the first. We..."
