<TITLE>07. Par 46-50</TITLE>L-46   [Brother Carrell says, "I--I never was done, officially. Want you to lay your hands on me, as those, in the Name of Jesus."--Ed.] You, whatever you wish. And yours... ["Time to be, and for same as them."] Now what's your name? ["Brother Carrell, from Cincinnati."] Brother Carrell.
[Brother Carrell says, "I was an ordained minister, but I couldn't agree with the brother who was ordaining women as ministers, and I had to break off from it."--Ed.]
This is Brother Carrell from Cincinnati. Anybody know Brother Carrell, raise your... Being from Cincinnati, I doubt it, that anybody know. He says that he was with a group, and the group wanted to ordain women ministers. He couldn't stand it, and he had to break away from them.
That's exactly how I broke away from the Missionary Baptists. Doctor Roy E. Davis, how many ever heard him? Sure, you did, see. He wanted to ordain some women preachers, and I said, "No, sir. As an elder," I said, "I cannot do that, consciously. It's against the Word of God."

L-47 I don't know you, Brother Carrell. But upon the basis of your testimony, and that Truth that you stand for... We have nothing against those women. They are sisters. We love them. But we believe that they got their place, and that they must stay. See? And we believe that they are a darling to a man, a helpmate. And by no means... We think they're the greatest gift, outside of salvation, that God ever give a man. But she's got no place in the pulpit, according to the Word of God. Upon that basis, and your faith in God, we lay hands on you, as fellowship, to come go with us.
Let us lay our hands on him.

L-48   Our dear Heavenly Father! This young man, I can just about know how he feels. He's been pushed out because of the real Truths. That, "Man shall live not by bread alone, but by every Word." So we lay hands on him, placing our blessings upon him. May Your Spirit lead him, guide him, and direct him throughout life's journey to wherever You may send him, Lord. Let him know that we are praying for him, and will be a help to him, and support him as long as he will stand for the Truth. Grant it, Lord. We send him, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
God bless you, Brother Carrell.
You just get them hands laid on, the different ones. All of you give kind of the right hands of fellowship for that.

L-49   Brother Ruddell, here, has never officially been ordained here at the church. Can... How many knows Brother Ruddell? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] We all know him. How many knows he's a man of God? ["Amen."]
Dear Heavenly Father, be as Your elders lay hands upon this brother who has moved through deep, muddy waters. He has seen his congregation falling off. He's seen everything take place, but yet believe. Though the...?... We lay our hands upon him, and pass our blessings to him...?... Anoint him, Lord, mightily, with the Word, Lord, and send him to every crevice of the earth!...?... may be upon him and help him. And send him, in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.

L-50 Brother Ruddell, you've always got a right hand of fellowship. I know Brother Ruddell. Seems like--like my own boy. His daddy and I, mother, have knowed one another so long. And I know Brother Ruddell to be a servant of God. I've served with him. God bless you, Brother Ruddell.
