<TITLE>06. Par 33-37</TITLE>L-33 And then you take a tree (you take the grass and so forth), take a tree, it reflects the Tree of Life which is in heaven. All these things are struggling for perfection. And everything in the natural, as Hebrews says here, was made of things which do not appear. Other words, they are supernatural. And the supernatural is reflecting the natural. See? Now, then the natural was eternal, or is to be everlasting with the supernatural, but sin perverted the natural. So and if that is so, which I believe it is, then everything that's happening on earth is a type of spiritual things that's happening. See? It's got to reflect something, the achievement of man.

L-34 Now, we find out, like the natural body, here's a natural body, and the body was made to reproduce itself, which was children. And now, the natural body, in the natural birth of a baby we find out the first thing comes forth is water, then blood, and then life. We find out in the spiritual body of Christ, the first thing is water, and Blood, and Life: justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost. See how it reflects, all the natural things reflecting the spiritual things. The natural birth...
We take, for instance, the marriage for union. We find out that the marriage; we find the courtship, and the agreements, and then the marriage. That should settle it for all the time. Now, that's the same thing it is with Christ and the Church. See? A courtship, God calling to our hearts; we surrender; the marriage ceremony, and the Bride takes the Bridegroom's Name. See, see? See? There it is; that makes it Bride. Now, always the bride takes the bridegroom's name.

L-36 There's so many things that we could speak of here. I got a list wrote down that take me two hours to get through it, nearly, and Scriptures to back this up, like if you want some of them here to back it up. Like I John 5:7 shows the natural and the spiritual birth, and so forth, "water, Blood, and Spirit." And three in heaven, "Father, Son, and Holy Spirit," these three are one. There are three that agree in earth; they're not one; but they agree in one in the earth, that's "water, Blood, and Spirit." See, "water, Blood, and Spirit," like the natural birth typing it.

L-37 So if a man sets on the thought of just justification's all you have to have, he's wrong, wrong. He's got to be wrong. And then if the church who believes like the many of the Pentecostals, that the Holy Ghost is it, that's all, "just repent and get the Holy Ghost," that's still wrong, because you've got to get sanctification in there to cleanse it before the Holy Ghost comes in. If you don't, you leave out the Blood. See? And the new birth, as people talks that the baptism of the Holy Ghost is the new birth. Now, that's wrong. The baptism of the Holy Ghost is different from the new birth. The new birth is when you're born again. But the Holy Ghost is when power comes into that birth for service. That's exact. See? The Holy Ghost is--baptized into the Holy Ghost.
