<TITLE>33. Par 200-204</TITLE>L-200   And when Jesus said, "Go, baptize them in the Name of the Father, Son, Holy Ghost," setting that there to blind the unbeliever.
Watch! Why didn't Peter carry that out, word by word? He had to.
If a man is baptized in the titles, "Father, Son, Holy Ghost," he's never been baptized at all; he has no Name. Father is no name, Son is no name, and Holy Ghost is no name. The Holy Ghost is what It is; like, I'm a human. It is the Holy Ghost.
Father is a title; I'm a father. Son is a title; I'm a son. Human is a title; that's what I am. But my name is William Branham.
And the Name of the Father, Son, Holy Ghost is the Name of "Jesus Christ." Jesus said, "I come in My Father's Name." What is the Father's Name? Any son comes in his father's name. And the Father's Name is Jesus Christ. See? See what I mean?

L-201   If I told you to go down and get me something off of the counter down here, in the name of the mayor of the city. How many knows who the mayor of the city is? My good friend, Rich Vissing. Well, you wouldn't go down there and say "in the name of the mayor of the city." You say, "In the name of Richard Vissing." You people here in Jeffersonville knows who he is.
And that's the reason He said, "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost." In Him dwells the Deity, the fullness of the Godhead bodily. He said, "Baptize them in the Name of the Father, Son, Holy Ghost."

L-202 Peter standing there with the revelation on which He built the Church, of Who He was, he said, "Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ." And never... The keys turned in Heaven and on earth. "There's not another Name under Heaven given among men whereby you must be saved."

L-203   Why do you baptize in the Name of Jesus Christ? For the remission of sins. "Whosesoever sins you remit, to them they are remitted." See? But if you don't think he's worthy and fit to be baptized, don't you do it. For, when you do it, that does it, see. You get what I mean?
I can hear my Sav-... (the Word) calling, (calling down there to the grave)
I can... ("Won't you die with Me, so you can rise with Me?")... -iour calling,
I can hear my Saviour calling, (what's the world going to say?)
"Take thy cross, and follow, follow..."
Now, if you haven't been:
Where He (He is the Word) leads me I... (there is the pool)
Where He leads me I will follow,
Where He leads me I will follow,
I'll go with Him, with Him all the way.
Let's bow our head.

L-204   Dear God, the pool is ready. Now speak to hearts, Lord. May they hear Christ, the Word, calling them, and go with Him all the way.
"I'll go with Him through the garden. I'll go with Him to the pool. I'll take on His Name. I want to be one of the people He is calling for His Name. I'll believe His Word. I'll follow. I'll never flirt with the world. I'll be a true, espoused Bride. I'll not leave off one iota of His Word. Every request, I'll be a real, true Bride. Everything He requests me to do, that will I do.
"If my coming Husband wants me to let my hair grow, I'll do it. If He wants me to take off all this makeup, I'll do it. If He want... He tells me it's a evil spirit, the evil one I'm flirting with, with these sexy-looking clothes; I'll do it, I'll take them off. I don't care what anybody else says, I'll take them off.
"He wants me to come out of that group that I'm with, of unbelievers, I'll do it; though I make my bread, or whatever it is. He promised He would never leave me nor forsake me. I'll--I'll do it. I'll go with Him all the way. He wants me to be baptized in His Name, I'll do it."
Lord, You promised it in Your Word here, that's what You wanted. May every person see it, Lord, and sweetly, humbly bow to It. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.
