"And they all filled with the Holy Ghost and be-
gan speak with other tongues the Spirit gave them
utterance."
GENERAL OvERsEER Just pause there minute. They
"began to speak ith"-what?
AUDIENCE: "Other tongues"
GENERAL OvERsEER: I desire you to see what it was
that happened the Day of Pentecost Now mark what
about say do not assert that the Church might
not, that God would not give the Church the
perence but do say this historical fact that that
which tanspred the Day Of Penecos recorded in the
second of Acts transped again do not say that
God, in His infinite WISDOM might not enable His people
to do again what they did there but He has not done it.
It not done again in the early Church It not done
in the house of Cornelius It at Ephesus It
not done in Samara and the speaking in tongues in
the Church at Cornth radically different thing from
this speaking in tongues the Day of Pentecost.
There sits Corean a Philippine, Samoan, Hebrew
German, Scotchman, Irishman, and represent
ing fifteen twenty different nationaties; and all at
Elder Carey breaches the Gospel in Chinese though he had
learned the language preach in Japanese; Tinda
breaches in Corean another breaches in Hebrew,
other in German and That is what took place the
Day of Pentecost.
Now notice. At Pentecost there interpreters
There did not need to be any interpreters.
Two GIFTS ALLIED
There two gifts of the Holy Spirit allied the one
speaking in tongues the other Interpretation of tongues
On the Day of Pentecos they did need any interpreters
at ALL because the Parhian heard preach in the Par
THAN language the Eamte heard the Gospel in the Eaite
language, and on.
"And they were all amazed and marvelled saying one
to another Behold not all these which speak Galeans
GENERAL OvERsEER: Yes, they were all Galeans.
"And how hear every man in tongue, where
in we were born?"
GENERAL OvERsEER: That is perfectly plain.
Parthans, and Medes and Elamites and the dwellers
in Mesopotama and in Judaea and Cappadocia in Pontus
and Asia,
"Phrygia and Pamphylia in Egypt, and in the parts
of Lbya about Cyrene and strangers of Rome Jews and
proseytes
"Cretes and Arabians we do hear them speak in our
tongues the wonderful works of God.'
GENERAL OvERsEER: Has any question he would
like to right here this teaching? because desire
to this very plain for ZoN before the Second Com
ing Christ will the latter rain The former RAIN
at Pentecost the latter rain will be in the times of
the restitution of all things living in those
times
If you will get these fundamental positions you will
keep of error, and great many abroad
PENTEcosT COMES BUT ONCE, LIKE THE CRUc1F1MoN
Pentecost event in Gods plan the Cal
vary Christ crucied for ALL The Holy Ghost
was poured out, how many times for all?
AUDIENCE: 'Once.'
Now Elder Carey, read Ephesians AS
zone Lord, one faith one baptism"
GENERAL OvERsEER: What is the zone baptism? The
|
Day of Pentecost There only the zone baptism and
that zone baptism" asucient for the whole Church
the descent of Christ at the Second Coming That
is the zone baptism
Zone Lord" Jesus given for all. He
crucfied only God is not going to cruelty Him
again God sent the baptism Of the Holy Ghost onceH
is not going to send it again.
THE HOLY GHOST RECEIVED THROUGH HEARING OF FAITH
All you have do is to the Christ and all you
have to do with the baptism of the Holy Ghost is to make the
and pray and through the hearing of faith
receive Gods gift sent down the Day of Pentecost
Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed
That is the question.
Now desire to show you, by two passages that the
Holy Spirit will be received by you through the hearing of
faith.
Galatians So and Galatians 3:14
Ths only would learn Of you, Received We the Spirit
by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith
That the blessing of Abraham might come the Gen
tiles through Jesus Christ that might receive the
Use of the Spirit through faith"
GENERAL OvERsEER Now, how do you receive the Holy
Ghost?
! AUDIENCE: Through faith"
| GENERAL OVERsEER: Does need to go to meeting
morning afternoon and night and keep all the neighbors
awake bowling for the Holy Ghost? Does man need to
wiring his hands pull his hair and work his hodv I'm into
