<TITLE>13. Par 82-89</TITLE>L-82 Now that we have found the place He put His Name, that is, in Christ Jesus, and there is no other place, or no other name, are you satisfied of that? Say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Now, the thing of it is, if we find where the place is... The worship place is nowhere accepted, only in Christ.
You can repent, you can do that, but you're not worshiping yet. You're asking for pardon. Peter said...
On the Day of Pentecost, when they seen them all speaking with tongues, and great signs and wonders taking place, they begin to laugh, the church did, and said, "These man are full of new wine. They act like drunk people. The..." Mary the virgin, all of them, was together, hundred and twenty of them. And they were staggering like drunk man, and speaking in tongues, and carrying on. They said, "These man are full of new wine."

L-83   But Peter, standing up, said, "Men and brethren, these men are not full of new wine, for this is just the third hour of the day. But this is that which was spoke of by the prophet Joel, 'And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I'll pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; your sons and daughters shall prophesy; upon My handmaids and maidservant will I pour out of My Spirit. I'll show signs in the heavens above, and on earth; fire, pillars of fire, vapors of smoke. It shall come to pass, before the great and terrible Day of the Lord shall come, that whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved."'

L-84 When they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said, "Men and brethren, what can we do?"

L-85 Peter said, "Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is that all future generations." Now we find that.

L-86   Now we want to find how we get into Him. How do we get into this place of worship? First Corinthians 12 settles it, for, "By one Spirit!" Not by one church, not by one creed, not by one pastor, not by one bishop, not by one priest. But, "By one Holy Spirit we are all baptized into one Body," which is the Body of Jesus Christ, and subject to every gift that lays in that Body. Yes, sir! No joining, no reciting of creeds, no pumping up, letting down, handshaking, or nothing else. But, by Birth we are baptized into the Body of Jesus Christ! Amen. "By one Holy Spirit we are all baptized into one Body."

L-87 And what is that Body? "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us." How can we be in that Body and deny one Word of It, or place It off somewhere else that It's not even in the Body? How can we ever do it? God's chosen place!

L-88   Notice, and when you are truly baptized into Him, the true evidence is that you believe Him, the Word.
How can you be a part of Him and then deny Him? How can I deny my hand being my hand? If there... If I do, there is something mentally wrong with me. And how can I? If there is something mentally wrong with me, deny that's my hand, deny that's my foot, there is something spiritually wrong with the believer that denies any Word that God ever said and promised. There is something spiritually wrong with that so-called believer.

L-89 You can't deny one letter of Him, because you have become a part of the same. You are a part of Him because you're baptized into Him; by, the Holy Spirit has brought you into the Body of Jesus Christ. What a beautiful thing!
