<TITLE>40. Par -</TITLE>1L-123-286 Jesus said--or Paul speaking with the inspiration of Christ in Hebrews the 6th chapter: "For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted of the power of the world to come; if they shall fall away, to renew themselves again unto repentance, seeing that they crucify to themselves the Son of God, and count the Blood of the covenant, wherewith they were sanctified, an unholy thing, and done despite to the works of grace..." It's impossible for that person to ever come back.
Them, every one besides Joshua and Caleb, died and perished in that wilderness, yet they were believers, yet their names were on the books.

1L-124-288 And here, Paul speaking, if a man ever comes to a spot that he's been saved, and sanctified (The Blood sanctifies; Hebrews 13:12 and 13 says the Blood sanctifies.), and then comes right up to the gate of the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and because of prestige or denomination refuses to walk in it, said, "That person is lost and can never be saved" (See?); for he's done despite even to the very works of grace that's called him up to that place and showed it to him, and then turn around, walk away from it. He counts the Blood of the covenant wherewith he was crucified--Christ was crucified as an unholy thing. Because the Blood that saved him, and justified him, and sanctified him brings him up to the baptism of the Holy Ghost. And then walks away and leave it...

1L-124-289 Now, watch that pattern. I'm taking a lot of time, but look. Judas Iscariot followed those same tracks. He was justified by believing on the Lord Jesus and then accept Him as his personal Saviour. He was sanctified and give power to cast out spirits; put his name on the Lamb's Book of Life. But when it come to Pentecost and the baptism of the Holy Ghost, the fullness of the Word, he showed his colors. That's exactly what the Canaan spies did; that's exactly what Esau done.
That's exactly what Satan done to Eve in the garden of Eden: "Surely God will not..."
But she said, "God said..."
He said, "Yeah, I know that says that; I know it says this, but surely..." See, the same thing all the way down through, and so is it today.

1L-124-291 The church has fallen through justification, Martin Luther; through sanctification, Wesley. But it, when it comes to the time of the baptism of the Holy Ghost, they show their colors; they want nothing to do with it. Nazarene, Pilgrim Holiness, Church of God, all those there who believe in sanctification, you can't lay a finger to it; it's truth. But when it comes a borderline, come right up to that spot to receive the Holy Ghost for the new birth, then what'd the devil do? Come around and try to twist it around. Oh, he's--he'll do everything that's in his known power to keep people out of there.
They brought around on, and say you have to speak with tongues. or You have to have a sensation. You have to do this. You have to be borned into it. Don't let no one tell you that sanctification and the Holy Ghost is the same thing, 'cause it is not. Certainly is not.
Listen at this Nazarene back here hollering, "It is not." See? He knows there's a difference in it, 'cause it certainly is--Brother Capps, our gallant brother. See?
