<TITLE>07. Par 21-23</TITLE>L-21 And remember this morning's lesson? These virtues has to be in there before the capstone will even come on it. Oh, you might shout, you might sing, you might speak with tongues, and dance--that has nothing at all to do with it, until these things Scripturally proven is sealed into you... The Holy Spirit seals you in as an individual. Then you're a son and daughter.
We've heard people speak with tongues that didn't have the Holy Ghost. You know that. I've heard witches speak with tongues; witch doctors speak in tongues, and drink blood out of a human skull, and call on the devil. Yes, sir. So you... That's not... I've seen witches, wizards... Seen the time that a pencil laid down, and run up and down the stove pipe, and played that "Shave and a Haircut," and write in unknown tongues. And the guy standing there just scribbled up and down and write and tell exactly what it was saying. Now, you know that ain't God, and you know all those things.
So speaking in tongues don't mean you're--you're of God. Working of miracles don't prove you're of God. It's the things, the fruits of the Spirit that proves that you're in God, when you see that life sealed away by the Holy Ghost. God, let it be... Let that be us. If we've done sin, may the great heavenly Father forgive us for it.

L-22 I'm going to read some of the Scripture, what Jesus has spoke to us through the Spirit. Now, I'm going to read it from the 11th chapter of I Corinthians, and I'm going to start at the 23rd verse.
For I have received of the Lord... (I speak now as Paul is speaking.)... I have received of the Lord that which I also delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night... which he was betrayed took bread:
And when he... gave thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, and eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
After the same manner also he took the cup, and when he had supped, saying, This... is the cup of the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as you drink it, in remembrance of me.
For as oft as you eat this bread, and drink this cup, you do shew forth the Lord's death till he come.
Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
So let a man examine himself, and so let him eat... the bread, and drink... the cup.
For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
For this cause many are weak and sickly among you,... many sleep.
For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
But when we are judged, we're chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, tarry one for the other.
... if any man hunger, let him eat at home, so that you come not together unto condemnation. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

L-23 I would like to say this on communion. Now, that is the great stumble between... The reason today that the Catholic church and the Protestant church can't merge together is on this very subject. The Catholic takes it as a mass, and he's hoping by some merit, legalistic, that he has done, and by keeping this order, that he will be forgiven of his sins. The Protestant takes it with thanksgiving that his sins is forgiven, because he has obeyed a commandment.
Now, the bread, the Catholic says that it is the literal body and this is the Scripture that they use from Corinthians here, I Corinthians 11, said... Jesus said, "Take and eat: this is my body." The Protestant says it represents the body; the Catholic says it is the body, and that the--the priest has been given power of God to turn the wafer into the literal body of Christ.
