<TITLE>03. Par 17-34</TITLE>L-17   He said, "Well, here is what I understand, that you turned Pentecostal."

L-18 And I said, "Well, I don't say I... I believe, when I was born in the Kingdom of God, I automatically was pentecostal," I said, "because pentecost is not an organization. They've tried to make it, but it isn't. God will fill a Presbyterian, Lutheran, or whoever you are. See, so it's an experience and not an organization. You can't organize it. It's an experience."

L-19 And he said, "Well, I want to tell you what happened." He said, "From India, in these days, they're sending people over here for their education." Said, "In our school, there was a fine Indian boy that come over here and he got his education. And when he went back..." I think he was to be, I think, electrical engineer or something. He said, "But when we..."

L-20   They got a school just like Brother Oral Roberts has up there. They teach engineering and whatever.

L-21 So he said, "On the way back, I with another minister, said to him, 'Now, going back to India... '" And you know the--the Indians worship Mohammed. And he said, "'Why don't you forsake your old dead prophet, and receive a resurrected Lord Jesus; and take a real God back to India with you, tell your people?'"

L-22 He said, "Sir," he said, "what could your Lord Jesus do for me anymore than what my prophet can do?"

L-23 And he said, "Well, my Lord Jesus can give you Eternal Life. It's a promise in the Word."

L-24 He said, "My prophet, Mohammed, promised the same thing, in his word."

L-25 And he said, "Well, you see," he said, "my Lord Jesus is raised from the dead. Your prophet is in the grave."

L-26 He said, "Did He raise from the dead?" Said, "You've had two thousand years to prove it, and eighty percent of the world has never heard about it." He said, "Let Mohammed raise from the dead, and the whole world will know, it in twenty-four hours."

L-27   Now, he said, "Well, look," he said, "Jesus is raised from the dead." Said, "I can prove it because He lives within my heart," said the Christian.

L-28 And the Mohammedan said, "And, sir, Mohammed lives in my heart."
He said, "But, you see, we got power and joy."

L-29 He said, "Sir, the Mohammedan religion can produce just as much psychology as Christianity can." And that's truth.

L-30 I've seen they lay in the street and holler, "Allah," and get in such a condition, they could take... Billy and I stood and watched a man run a sword right under his heart; and a doctor got up there and poured water through it, and it come out; pulled it out, and it never hurt him. See them take splinters, and take under their fingernails and run them through, and run hooks up through their nose, and never even feel it or bleed a drop. They can produce more psychology than Christianity can.

L-31 And Mr. Reedhead said to me, said, "I knowed I wasn't talking to some overnight boy. And he said, 'We Mohammedans are waiting.'"

L-32   Like they did to our gallant brother, Billy Graham, you read it in the paper, when the Mohammedan come to Mr. Graham, and said, "You take thirty sick people, and I'll take thirty sick people; and you heal your thirty, and I'll heal my thirty by Mohammed," see, Mr. Graham run from the scene. He wouldn't answer him.

L-33 I don't believe I would have done that. I'd have been like the Hebrew children, "Our God is able to deliver us from this." Why didn't he send, get Oral Roberts or somebody? If he didn't believe That, send to get somebody that did believe It. But, you see, by denominationals, oh, they'd throw him out right then. He's got a work to do.

L-34   However, then he said, "When we, over in India, see you--you Christians produce what Jesus said that you would do," said, "then we will believe you." He said, "He said He raised from the dead, and the people would know it because you would do the same works that He did."
"Well," he said, "we do greater works."
