<TITLE>13. Par 131-140</TITLE>L-131   And sometimes, when we see our organizations prosper, we begin to say, "We're the big group. We're the biggest Pentecostal group there is. We have more than the rest of them." Or, "You can't get to Heaven 'less you belong to our group," or something. When you get that way, you've separated yourself from the Word of the Lord. Right. Remember, the blanket is wide enough to stretch for your brother. That's exactly right. Take him in.

L-132 Oh, how we need, today, a call back to the Word of the Lord. Look, today. And our nation needs a call back.

L-133   Going to speak, one of these nights, if I can, I want... I've got an indictment. I ought to wait till I get all the preachers together. Yeah. I want to indict this generation of the Blood of Jesus Christ, and prove it to you. See? Now, I may have, get out somewhere to do that. But we'll, we see if we can have a breakfast some morning, just for ministers. And I--I want to, Lord helping me, to show exactly where we're--where we're heading, the wrong way. We got to come back. There's no other way but come back. Right.

L-134   Look at our nation today. Look what we're trying to do, the very thing that took place in the dark age, unite church and state together.

L-135 Look at the unite, union, or the--the World Council of Churches. All the churches going into this World Council of Churches, and they think this is the oneness of God. Because, all the churches, United Brethren, men of fundamental churches, go into this great one big organization. That's because of lack in knowing the Word of God. The prophet spoke that that thing would take place, "They'd make an image unto the beast, and it would have power to speak."

L-136 Oh, do you think Amos could stand in the pulpit tonight down here, if he was in Phoenix, and fail to cry out on that thing? It wouldn't be that he would be against us, the brethren, but he would be against the system that's drawing us away from the Word. That would be what he would do. "How can those men walk together?" The Bible said here, in here, Amos. The Lord said, "Tell the people, 'How can two walk together, without they be agreed?'"

L-137   Now, how are we going to take our Pentecostal groups and go into the World Council of Churches, when half of them in there, more than half, eighty-five or ninety-five percent, even deny the virgin birth? They deny. I guess, ninety-nine percent of them deny, they deny Divine healing. They deny the principles of the Bible. They deny the speaking with tongues. Only the Pentecostal group alone takes that. And how we going to unite ourselves with them in a oneness? How we going to be one with them? How we going to walk with them without being agreed with them? How you going to do it? You'll have to deny the great evangelical belief that you have, the fundamental principles of the Bible, to walk with them.

L-138   I tell you, God calls an individual. He is calling you, as an individual, to stay with His Word and stay with Him.

L-139 How could God walk with them, when their own creeds, made up by their own worldly wisdom, deny His Word? When a creed accepts a doctrine of a group of men, together, and denies the Word being so, then you turn God from you. God is holy. And God, the Bible says, He watches over His Word, to vindicate it. And how can He vindicate the Word, when the Word isn't there? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] That's the reason we have members instead of children. That's, we have creed. And everybody can...

L-140 The world is looking for a super man. They're working for... They're looking for something that can let them hold on their Christian profession and live any way they want to. The women want to act like Hollywood and still maintain that they got the Holy Ghost. The preachers want to build the biggest church and do all these things, and have deacons that's married many times. And--and they can do these little things and wear these clothes, they call it the liberation of women.
