<TITLE>10. Par 39-42</TITLE>L-39 Before it can be a body of human beings... Before I could act as a human, before I could walk like a human, before I could talk like a human, I have to be borned a human.
How would've knot on a tree know how I acted? How could he ever say, "I don't act like that." The only way he could be that would be to be born like me. That's the way organization is dead, drawed people away, because it went after a creed.
But in order to be a son of God you've got to be borned of the Spirit of God, then you become Christ-like and do the works of Christ; then you're not funny to them people. A human acting like a human's not funny. And a Christian acting like a Christian, borned of the same Spirit... You see the Pentecostal group at the beginning, that same Pentecostal group acts the same way if it's born of the same Spirit, 'cause it's born. That's why, today, that people doesn't understand the church. And the church has begin to grow cold and formal, getting after creeds and things and leaving off the following of the Holy Spirit. All right.

L-40 Others doesn't know the sound of trumpet. The bond slave is bond, the Bible said here from generation to generation. Everyone that come into that city and bought property, he was bound. He could not redeem his property in the jubilee. It did not go out free, and he could not redeem it. It remained the one that bought it from generation to generation. That's what the Scripture says here. He must remain in that city with his property, for that's where his inheritance was, was in the city. He wasn't free to go back, because he'd sold out.

L-41 Now, we say from generation to generation... I asked a man not long ago... One time, Doctor Bosworth (I guess you remember Brother Bosworth.), he said, "I asked a girl one night in Toronto, Canada, 'Are you a Christian?'"
She said, "I'll have you to understand, I burn a candle every night." Like... See, that's all she knows about Christianity.
I asked a woman one time was she a Christian?
She said, "I'm an American. I'll give you to understand."
I said, "That's not nothing to do with it."
I was going to pray for a woman one time, and the lady said, "Pull the curtain there."
I said, "Well, I was just going to offer prayer."
She said, "Pull that curtain."
I said, "All right. Aren't you a Christian?"
She said, "We're Methodists."
I said, "That testifies fine that you're not." See, see, see?

L-42 See, if you say, "Methodist," that's just a blasphemous name. You say, "Baptist," that's just a blasphemous name. We can say, "Amen" to that. But, brother, let me ask you something, "What about Pentecost?" If it's not a borned again experience, it's still a blasphemous name patterned after the beginning...?... correct. That's right. See, they don't know one another; they don't know fellowship. All they know is their creed. They're just settled down like some kind of a lodge, like lodges. I...
Now, lodges is all right if you want to belong to them, but don't associate it with the church. The church is a borned again bunch of believers that's in Christ by the Holy Ghost, led by the Spirit of God. They're not of the world; they're out of the world; they're different from the world. That's what makes them what they are. Their life is dead and they're hid in Christ and... Dead in Christ and hid and by--sealed by the Holy Ghost. They're away from the things of the world.
