<TITLE>16. Par 175-189</TITLE>L-175 He said, "After he's been baptized in name of 'Father, Son, and Holy Ghost'?"

L-176 I said, "Yes, sir. He hasn't been baptized, at all. See? He hasn't been baptized, at all; no Name. That's a title." I said, "It isn't recognized." I said, "Why did--why did Peter..."

L-177 He said, "Well, now, let me tell you something." He said, "Now, in Acts 10:49, he said, 'While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell upon them.'"

L-178 "But," I said, "he turned right around and said, 'Can a man forbid water that these should not be baptized?'"

L-179   He said, "Well, you was speaking over there, a while ago, about Acts 19, where Paul passed through the upper coasts of Ephesus, find them disciples." And said, "Why," said, "they wasn't baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost."

L-180 I said, "No, they were baptized 'unto repentance,' not for remission of sins. 'Unto repentance,' 'cause Jesus hadn't been made known yet. The Sacrifice hadn't been killed."
He said, "Well, why did they have to be baptized over?"

L-181 I said, "The man that had the keys, said this, 'For be it known unto you that there is not another Name under Heaven given among men, whereby ye must be saved.'"

L-182 Salvation alone goes in the Name of Jesus Christ. "Whatever you do in word or deed, do it all in the Name of Jesus Christ." There is not another name, no church, no hierarchy, no titles, or nothing else! Yet, He is the Rose of Sharon, Lily of the Valley, Morning Star, Alpha, Omega, Beginning and the Ending, Jehovah-jireh, -rapha, -manasseh, all these. He is all these things, but yet He... There is not no salvation in any of those titles; Jehovah, no salvation; Rose of Sharon, yet He is, no salvation; Father, Son, or Holy Ghost, no salvation. Only the Name of "Jesus Christ!" And then the Bible said, that, "Repentance and remission of sin must be taught in His Name, beginning at Jerusalem, and to the uttermost parts of the earth."
He said, "Do you think it makes any difference?"

L-183   I said, "Sir, I want to ask you something." He and I, and my wife, were setting at the table. He just moved over,...?... I said, "We are both Arizonans; we live here. And I, and we know our council, and our ward, and all, and our mayor, governor, everything."
He said, "Yes."

L-184 I said, "Now, if I told you, brother, to, 'Go over here and sign up for our dinner, in the name of the Governor of the State of Arizona,' would you go sign it like that? Do you think they would receive it at the desk?"

L-185 "Why," he said, "I guess not." He said, "Why did Jesus say that?"

L-186 I said, "This is it, see. Why? If I told you to 'go sign for this dinner, in the name of the Governor of the State of Arizona,' and us being citizens of Arizona, and knowing who the Governor is, why, you would know to sign it in the name of 'Sam Goddard,' see." I said, "Because, he is the Governor of the state. I don't have to question you. You know who the Governor is. And, when He said, 'Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,' He knowed how they was going to baptize. They knowed Who He was. 'My sheep hear My Voice.' See? See?"
He said, "Oh, I see."

L-187 But now, the next thing, will you believe? See? "He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, has everlasting Life." And when this new Eternal Life dwells in you, It is the potential.

L-188   When you have received this Holy Spirit now, that they did at Pentecost; they were the mechanics, now the Dynamics had to come. They had believed. You know, our good Baptist friends tells us, "When we believe, we've got It." But, they didn't have It, yet they had believed.

L-189 Acts 19, they had believed, but they didn't have It. "Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?" See? They had the Mechanics, alright, because the apostles were... Or, I mean, Apollos was teaching to them and proving by the Bible, the Mechanics, that Jesus was the Christ, but they didn't have the Dynamics yet. See? That's it. All right.
