GOD DISTRIBUTES HIS GIFTS AS HE WILLS
AS to the gifts of the Holy Spirit that is something
with which you and have nothing to do whatever The
Word of God plainly teaches that these gifts are divided
by God Himself He will and to tell me that God AL
mighty would trust of these people that are talk
ing about having the baptism of the Holy Ghost with any
of the gifts of the Holy SPIRIT have higher opinion of
my God and Father in Heaven than to believe any such
stuff.
These gifts of the Holy Spirit are not paythngs they
are given to-what?
AUDIENCE-"To profit withal"
For to given by the Spirit the word of wisdom
GENERAL OvERsEER-I find, in my associations with
people, that what good many lack is Some have
good deal of tongue and they rattle away by the yard
but when WISDOM they seem to have one
particle of that
The first gift of the Holy Spirit is Wisdom. The Book
Proverbs that the principal thing WISDOM here
FORE with all thy getting get wisdom Learn to be wise
great deal could be said this subject There never
greater asehood taught than that the only sign
the baptism of the Holy Spirit speaking in tongues There
not line of Scripture to support such doctrine is
lie, and deusion and of the devil.
Paul says, care all apostles? MOI
care all prophets?' No!
"Have all the gifts of heaing?" No!
"Do all work miracles?" No!
"Do all speak in tongues% Mo-
He is speaking about the body.
SPEAKING IN TONGUES AT PENTEcosT, AND SPEAKING IN
TONGUES AT CoR1NTH DISTINGUISHED
There is another thing that very plain to my mind
that the speaking in tongues the Day of Pentcos and
the speaking tongues the Church Cornth were two
radically different things The speaking in tongues the
Day of Pentecost when they preached in languages
they had learned and do not know other place
where that happened So far the record goes there
not another place where that TRANSFERRED know of
other place.
Now in the Church at Corinth, that an ecstatic
experience, just you would expect to
have who makes full conservation and into close
communion with Cod That person is filled with the Holy
Ghost and is very happy.
Paul says, in regard to this experience that you
to talk to Cod unless you interpret the That
talk might be simply many ncoherent soundsjust like
little child who his mother and makes all sorts
of sounds The little trying to talk and those about
will say what is he trying to say? mother who dearly
loves child she attempt to put into words her
love for her child, could not do it.
Now that just the way with persons who filled
with the Holy Spirit and who brought into that close
communion with God where the world swings out from
their feet and they suspended in space $50 to
spea and lose sight of the things of this life They
go money and houses and relatives and friends and
everything for sweet fellowship with God That what
that experience is.
Paul says that you have right to pray that you shall
interpret If there interpreter present. you to
keep still but if there interpreter present. then
speak orderwo three does it not say? and that
is ALL There might be hundred others who have messages
but they are keep STILL Only three at the most in
lservice,-do you see?
Paul says that prophesyng far greater than speaking
in tongues Speaking in tongues is sign unto Sinners
prophesyng the edifcaton of the Church. There will
be no difficulty people will only keep close to the Word of
Cod
You realize, now, what mean when say that this
Church going to be guarded against every form of de-
uson and going to retain Godgiven senses,
everything going to be done decenty and in good
order
