<TITLE>42. Par -</TITLE>L-984-277 And brother, I know that's what's going to happen to that denomination. She won't stem the tide. See? You're going right straight to the World Council of Churches; and now, you either got to take it or it's come out the way we are now. So it's just exactly, you got to make your choice. And I--I don't mean to be... I'd like to bust up the boat, all right; I'd like to do anything I could, not to hurt you, brother, but to wake you up that you're wrong. Don't do that.
And this water baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ, there's not a man on the face of the earth could condemn that by the Scripture. There's no man can condemn that. There's not one Scripture... You people, you brethren--you brethren, remember, just remember, search the Bible; find one place where anybody was ever baptized in the New Testament (They wasn't baptized in the Old,) but in the New Testament, where anybody was ever baptized otherwise than in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ; then come show it to me. Or go find the history book where they ever did baptize for hundreds of years after the death of the last apostles... The Catholic church started the baptism. Their catechism says the same thing, using the name of Father, Son, Holy Ghost.

L-984-279 On a interview with a priest, right here at Sacred Heart church, told me the same thing. Said the Catholic church used to baptize like that, when I told him I baptized this Frazier girl, when the bishop wanted to know. He said, "Will you swear to these statements?"
I said, "I don't swear at all."
He said, "The bishop wants you to."
I said, "The bishop will have to take my word or don't believe it, either one he wants to." See? I said, "Bible said not to swear at all."
And he said, "Well, uh..." He said, "The..."
I said, "I baptized her by Christian baptism in water, immersed her at the foot of Spring Street in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. "
And when the priest put it down, he said, "That's the way the Catholic church used to baptize."
I said, "When?"
He said, "In the days of the apostles."
I said, "You call them Catholics?"
He said, "Sure, they was."
I said, "Then I'm a better Catholic than you are. I follow their teaching." That's right. See, see? They claim that, but it isn't so.
The Catholic church was established at Nicaea, Rome, under Constantine, when church and state and--united together, and--and the state give the church property, and stuff like that; they actually thought they was in the millennium. They thought they hit a millennium. That was Satan's millennium. That's exactly right. Don't you believe that stuff. Yes, sir.

L-985-284 Now, but... Then when they made up--or had instead of having a--a idol, they took down--they took down Venus, put up Mary; take down Jupiter, put up Paul or Peter. Right there at--at the Vatican, right there at--at Rome now, right in the Vatican City, a nineteen foot statue of Peter, they claim they've kissed three of them toes or feet off of that statue. See? And everything is a...
All down... Went in a church, Billy and I, one morning there, went down in the basement there where they bury all the monks and things like that, let their bones rot up in this dust--one bone rot from another up there--and then take the bones and make fixtures of light fixtures of bony hands hanging out like this, and skulls; and them people come in there has rubbed them skulls white, trying to get blessings off of those dead men's skulls. It's a form of spiritualism. See?
