<TITLE>14. Par -</TITLE>L-939-82 What ought it to do to this Tabernacle this morning? Sick, the afflicted, the blind, the deaf, the dumb, the--the sinner, everything... Just think, out of ten thousands of things, not one time has it ever failed one iota. Why, it ought to set our hearts aflame.
Now, now, he yet, while he yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell. Then Peter said, "Can we forbid water, seeing that these received the Holy Ghost like we did up there." I believe their sins were already gone, for the Holy Spirit would've not come in; and He would not have come in 'less it'd been a predestinated vessel. He knew that they would follow. He knew...

L-939-84 I believe Paul, the reason that he had to be baptized again is, he'd persecuted the Christians. That's right. And he--God knew, 'cause He said, "I have chosen him," He said to Ananias, the prophet. When He noticed Saul was down there in a room, blackened face and darkened eyes, and he'd--he'd prayed so hard and dust all over him, and he was blinded from the Pillar of Fire that appeared to him on the road down; and He said, "I have chosen him a vessel to the Gentiles." God knew that--that Ananias would be able to baptize him in the Name of Jesus Christ in the Damascus River three days later. But I believe his sins were already remitted, but he had to do this to show to the world. And I believe that that's the reason that we must be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ. And I believe predestinated seed will see it, and only them will see it.

L-939-85 Now, brothers of the trinitarian faith, I'm not throwing this off to you, my dear brother, I'm only answering questions. I'm only giving my true thoughts of it. This tape might one time wind up in Africa. I believe that we're in the shadows of His coming. We all believe that.
I've got precious friends, the duPlessis and Schoemans, and all, Yeager, all them fine brothers in--in South Africa. But there's always somebody that just stands right out in a man's life. And of all the men that--and I love them just as dear as I love this brother, just as dear; but Brother Jackson and his wife always stood out in my life. I just couldn't understand it; he--he stood out. Now, there's Justus duPlessis, bosom friend, and oh, so many of those fine, fine Afrikaans brethren and sisters.
Well, why did Brother Jackson and his wife stand out to me? Because he was a hunter? Nope. Because I've got many fine hunter friends down there. But why did he stand out? And why? If you only knew the secret behind this all. But I don't tell people all the secrets that I know. Well, why was it at the same hour that the Lord said, "Contact Sidney Jackson in South Africa," the Lord spoke to Sidney Jackson to come here? Sunday a week he was baptized, him and his wife, in the Name of Jesus Christ, right here in the shadowing time. See, predestinated to the cause... See?

L-940-87 Now, I believe that you are--are--are saved by accepting Jesus Christ. And water baptism is an outward expression to show that something inwardly has happened, because water has no virtue; it's just a symbol. And I believe that you're saved when you...
Now, there's many people... Let me straighten this for brother. There's many people that are--say they're saved; many are baptized in Jesus' Name; many speak in tongues, and have all kinds of signs of the Holy Ghost, and still not even saved. That's right. "Many will come to Me in that day and say, 'Lord, have not I prophesied in Your Name?' (preacher), 'Have not I in Your Name cast out devils and done many mighty works.'" He'd say, "Depart from Me, you that work iniquity; I never even knew you." See? So all those things, yet it--it's--it's God; it's in His hands. But when I see that...
You say, "Well then, why do you recall the people to be rebaptized?" Is because I'm following the pattern of the beginning. We can't lose that blueprint.
