<TITLE>36. Par 260-269</TITLE>L-260 What greater church is spoke of in the Bible than the Ephesian church age? And when Paul passed through the upper coasts of Ephesus, and comes to this church, there was twelve men in it. That's right. And they all was good people, shouted and have a great time, but had not received the Holy Ghost yet. Paul said, "You haven't received the Holy Ghost since you believed?"
They said, "Why, we didn't know there was a Holy Ghost."
He said, "Then how was you baptized?" If it didn't make a difference, what did he say to that church there?
They said, "We've already been baptized by one of the greatest men that ever stood on the earth, John the Baptist, who baptized our Lord. Ain't that baptizing good enough?"
He said, "No, sir. You've got to be baptized over, 'cause the Kingdom is sealed to anything else." And when they heard this... Said, "John only baptized unto repentance, not for remission of sins, saying that you should believe on Him to come, that is, on Jesus." And when they heard this, they were rebaptized in the Name of Jesus Christ. That's right, exactly. They followed the Scripture.

L-264 You know, in the dedication this morning, Moses followed the pattern that he saw in heaven and pitched a tent to represent it. When Solomon built the temple, he (What did he do?) followed the pattern that Moses, by the tent, keeping the Scripture in line.
And when God come to His Temple for the last days, this Temple, the Holy Ghost, "a body hast Thou prepared Me," the Holy Ghost fell on the day of Pentecost, the message was, "Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, for the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." If you want to call your minister a doctor, Doctor Simon Peter wrote a prescription, an eternal prescription. That's what cures the sick...?...

L-266 Let some of these quack druggists, trying by denomination to fill it some other way, that's the reason they got... You know, if you don't add the--you add too much to the prescription, you might--too much of the poison, you might kill your patient. If you don't put enough in it, you--not for the antidote, if you don't, it won't do your patient no good. Your physician knows just how to write the prescription.
And Christ, the Holy Ghost, is the Prescription Writer, and He wrote It. Don't add to It or take It away from It, just take the Medicine the way she is. It's the Cure for all ailments. God bless you. You love Him? Amen.
I love Him, I... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
Because He first loved me
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree.

L-268 Now, while we hum it, now turn around and shake hands with your neighbor there. Oh, he's a pilgrim too, passing through.
I love Him, I love Him (...?...)

I love Him, I love Him
Because He first loved me
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree.
I love Him, (Let's sing it now.), I love Him
Because He first loved me
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree.

L-269 Now, let's bow our heads, close our eyes, lift up our hands and our voices to God now, as I commit you to the pastor. We're glad to have you here. We're no denomination. We have no law but love, no creed but Christ, no book but the Bible: no membership; just fellowship through the Blood of Jesus Christ that cleanses us from all unbelief.
All right, all together now.
I love Him, I... (God bless you. Come back and visit us again.)
Because He first loved... (All right, Pastor...?..., God bless you.)
And purchased my...
