<TITLE>15. Par 147-158</TITLE>L-147 I said, "I got nothing against the people in them, but I certainly don't believe in their systems."
He said, "Well, why? How would we pay? What will we do?"
I said, "That wasn't God's provided way in the first place."
He said, "What denomination do you belong to?"
I said, "None."
Said, "What do you belong to?"
I said, "A Kingdom."
Said, "How do you get in There?"
I said, "You are born in It." Amen.

L-148 You are born into the Kingdom of God. How? By the Holy Ghost. That's God's witness. He gives witness by the Word of God, that we've passed from death unto Life, because we are in the Kingdom of God. That's God's.

L-149   God needed a leader for the Church. He didn't educate a bishop, neither did He send a high priest or a pope, or no one else. But He sent the Holy Ghost. A man die, and their systems die, and everything else. But the Holy Ghost is the Eternal God, and He cannot die. He give them an Eternal Leader, and that is the Holy Ghost. They needed something to guide them, to tell them what to do, how to live, how to meet the public, how to meet the fierceness of the day, how to combat sickness, how to combat this, how to combat sin. Man has drawed all kinds of ways of joining this, and creeds of this, and documents of this, and baptisms of this, and every kind of sensations, and little quivers and funny feelings, and everything else. But still remains, the Holy Ghost is God's provided way for His Church. Amen.

L-150   And the Holy Ghost is God, and God is the Word. The Holy Ghost is this Word made full vindicated. The Holy Ghost is the thing that brings this promised Word to life.

L-151 You say, "I've had a feeling." If it don't vindicate this Word, forget that feeling. Yes, sir.

L-152 They say, "Well, I've done this. I've done that. And I've been baptized this way, that way."

L-153 I don't care what you've been done. If the Holy Ghost is on you, this Word is vindicated through you. Because, Jesus said, "These signs shall follow them that believe; to all the world, and every creature." Amen. God's provided way!

L-154   Two thousand years! That went all right for about three hundred years, then they had a council meeting one time, at Nicaea, Rome, and they wanted to inject something. Then after Martin Luther, another angel of God brought forth the message, then they had another injection. And then after John Wesley, they had another injection. And they just so forth, a council meeting, until they got this place, until the churches has become hybrid by the ethics of man's teaching, and there's a great falling away now.

L-155 The church needs a Scriptural sign, Truth, in this last days. It needs something.

L-156 Look at the different denominations, the twistings; as we close now, before we have the prayer line. Look at the twistings of the Scripture. Think of our different denominations. Think of our Pentecostal ways. Think of our Baptist, our Presbyterian, our Lutheran, even to our Independents, whatever more. A fellow don't know where to stand.

L-157   The church needs, today, a Scriptural vindication. What did Jesus say in Saint John, the 14th chapter and the 12th verse? "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also. The very things that I do shall he do also." Notice, He promised, "As it was in the days of Jonas, the prophet, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man." See? He said, "For as Jonas was in the belly of the whale, three days and nights, and was raised up as was from the dead, that will be a sign to a wicked and adulterous, generation."

L-158 Now we are living in the last days, with a promised sign of the resurrection. After two thousand years of in-documenting and drawing off the road, and this way, and that way, till people don't know what to do. But Jesus told them, and promised them, "As it was in the days of Lot and Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man."
