<TITLE>16. Par -</TITLE>L-942-98 Now, there is the same thing on this question here on water baptism. See? God knew that these people were going to be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ. And Paul, he set the statement that no man, even a Angel from heaven, should not teach any other doctrine than that what he had been taught; so therefore, if I come as a preacher, as a minister, as a prophet, or whatever I might be, or even an Angel coming down, and would teach something contrary to what this apostle did, and I did not command the people to be rebaptized in the Name of Jesus Christ, I'd be found by the Bible a false witness of the thing that I claim to believe.

L-942-99 So I believe that the pattern has been laid down. Every person in the Bible was baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ. Never one time was anybody ever baptized in the name of the Father, Son, Holy Ghost. See? Never was anybody ever sprinkled; they were all immersed.
So I believe that when you are actually... To your question, precious brother, I believe that when God knows your heart... There'll be thousands there that's been baptized in Jesus' Name. You just go down a dry sinner and come up a wet one. See, see? But as the genuine, true believer, that you must walk in all of the faith and good conscience towards God, when you see it, you are baptized. But I believe that it's only in an outward expression showing that a inward work of grace has been done.

L-943-101 Just same as God built the ark. Said, "Noah, get into it, you and your family and household." And they got into it. Now, I believe if there had not been an ark there, God would've let Noah set on a log or walk on the water. See? But he made an ark for him to get into, and that was the way of doing it; that was God's provided way. I believe that God saves a man by grace. In the Name of Jesus Christ through an outward expression is God's provided way to enter into it, for they was all baptized that way.
I'm not condemning the other fellow, but that's just... I think that that's what it is. Water does not save a man, it only shows that he has been saved; it's an outward expression. Now, that might not be right, brother. If it isn't, well, we'll get it some other time or... All right.

L-943-Q-242 242. In Genesis 6:4, after the flood, where did the giants come from?
That's a good one, very good. That's a sensible question. Where did these giants come from? Adam wasn't a giant as far as we know, 'cause if it would, the Bible would said so. He was just an ordinary man. Where did they come from? Now--now, this is a great dispute, and this was just handed to me. It's on a big, dark paper, and it's a--or big, dark letters on white piece of paper.

L-943-104 Now, these giants... I believe it was one--somebody here not long... It might've been Josephus. I'm not--I'm not saying that now, minister brothers, that it was Josephus. But it seems to me like that it might've been him, or Dr. Scofield, or some of them, that said that these giants that was in the land were actually fallen spirits of God that listened to--to Satan's tale, as he told in the--around in heaven... And it was Michael... Trying to raise a war with Michael in heaven... was kicked out... That these sons of God saw the daughters of man, and that these giants was in the land at that time, that they pressed themselves into human flesh. If you do that, you make Satan a creator. You can't do it.
