<TITLE>13. Par 95-103</TITLE>L-95 "Oh, It doesn't exactly mean that." When a man says that, get away from him. See? God watches over His Word, you know, the Bible said. It's wrote just the way It should be. See? Now, It's put in such a way to deceive, or to make the wise stumble over It. It's so simple; that's the reason they stumble over It. See? All right.
All this wisdom and things that they can accumulate, yet, but it is from... That birth is from beneath, this earth. It's from the earth, and it is against the Spirit of God. The first birth to make us active here, makes us mortal men. Because of the sin act at the garden, made man come into the world by a woman. And a man that is born of a woman is of a few days, but a man that is borned of Christ is eternal. Job said, "A man that's born of woman is few days and full of trouble." Notice, but a man that's born of Christ, has to be born from above. Now, but a man that's born of the earth, become wise and can almost outsmart...

L-97 Look how shrewd the devil was, he fooled every priest that come on the earth. He sure did. He fooled... He's still doing it. Yeah, sure did. He was smart, but he come up against his match one day Who defeated him. And the only thing we have to do is just lay against Him; He's already defeated him. See?
But it's from beneath, and it--this wisdom that men accumulate to prove and show all these things why man should do this and man should do that, it's contrary and enmity (the carnal mind) to God. The Scripture says so. Right. No matter how smart, they can twist it around. I want somebody to show me where God ever had an organization or ever commanded one, but what condemns it here in the Bible. No matter how smart they can try to be, it's contrary. How the wisdom can stand and out-argue to you, and make you feel that little by telling you about it, but it's contrary to the Scriptures.

L-99 Somebody said to me, "Brother Branham, there's one thing I got against you." Said, "You're Jesus Only."
I said, "I am not. I don't belong to any organization."
A presbyter of a certain state sent the other day, and said, "Someone told me you were Jesus Only, Brother Branham."
I said, "That is contrary. That is wrong."
Said, "They told me that you believe in "free love," that men should leave their wives and hunt..." Now, see, that's just lies of the devil. You know that.
I said, "I absolutely am against such unscriptural things. I believe in holiness and purity. I believe that man is bound to his wife as long as they live." You shouldn't take her without praying first.

L-103 And Jesus Only, the Jesus Only group, nothing against them, they're just as good as any group to me. But they baptize wrong; they baptize to regeneration. I believe that we're regenerated by the Holy Spirit, not by water. I do use the Name of Jesus Christ in baptism, and there's not another Scripture in the Bible to back--to make it contrary. There was nobody in the Bible ever baptized in the Name of Father, Son, Holy Ghost. I want somebody to come show me one place one person was baptized like that. Then if it's unscriptural, quit doing it.
You say, "It doesn't make any difference."
It did to Paul. He commanded them to be baptized over again in the Name of Jesus Christ and then receive the Holy Ghost. And Paul said, "If an angel from heaven (Galatians 1:8) come, taught any other Gospel than that he had taught, let him be accursed." See, it's tradition.
