<TITLE>19. Par 174-184</TITLE>L-174   I said, "Peter, on the Day of Pentecost, when this was all noised abroad, and they was all shouting and praising God, they said, 'Men and brethren, what can we do to be saved?' Peter said, 'Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, for the promise is unto you and to your children, and to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.' Heavens and earth will pass away, but that Word will never fail!"

L-175 You pentecostals paid no attention to the Methodist, Baptist, or Presbyterian. You knowed That was for every generation, and you pressed into It. Certainly. Now, just don't stop pressing right there, just keep on pressing, see.

L-176 That's where Methodists made their mistake, they pressed into sanctification but stopped. Lutheran pressed into justification and stopped. See, then it organizes it, there it dies. That's the end of it. That's all of it.

L-177   Watch now as we hurry up through. "When the Spirit of Truth is come, He will teach you all things, whatever I taught you," oh, my, "bearing all remembrance to you, what I've said to you, bringing to you, all remembrance. And He will show you things to come. He will vindicate every Word, confirming the Word with signs following." Everything that He promised, that God promised in the Bible, if you'll turn loose from every creed and everything else, and hold onto the Word, God is obligated to take care of His Word. And so when they did this, the Word vindicates Itself.

L-178 He don't need somebody to say, "Well, the days of miracles is passed."

L-179 Who is that man to tell me the days of miracles is passed, when I was once a blind man? Hallelujah. I once laid where the doctors give me three minutes to live, and I'm a-living today. How can they tell me any different? Once a lukewarm church member, now filled with the Holy Ghost. God don't need any interpreter. The Spirit Itself, which is the Word, interprets it to be the Truth. If a man will dare to stand out and take It. He is His Own interpreter. Try Him one time, and find out if that isn't right. Don't pay attention to what somebody said. Do what God said do.

L-180 "Well," you say, "I do this." Well, what about the other, every Word? One word breaks the chain.

L-181 That's where the churches always fail, right on that chain. They organize it and get the thing together, and make a big denomination. These men get together, Holy Father So-and-so and Doctor Bishop So-and-so. And what's the first thing you have? There you are. You die right there. We'll prove it by nature and by the Word, if the Lord willing, in a few minutes. All right.

L-182   "Bringing to remembrance." He vindicates every Word, and we live by It. Hallelujah! Live by It! "Man shall live by every Word, every Word vindicated." Jesus said, "These signs shall follow them that believe. Shall follow them that believe!" Take a hold of It; God vindicates It, that It's the Truth.

L-183 Where, the seminaries and theologians, inspired by Satan, say, "You can't trust It. That's for the apostles. The days is passed. There is no such thing. That was only meant for the apostles, to prove the Gospel then. We have learned people today."

L-184 They had better learning then than we got now. Tell me any church that can come up with that, that Sanhedrin, when their great-great-great-great-grandfathers had to be priests, behind them. One crooked word in that, in that scroll, or, why, they--they'd stone them for it. They had to stay right exactly. But they missed seeing the real Kernel of the Word when It come, the Life. That's why they were condemned and called the "workers of Satan."
