have got Gods nature. When you
fall into the mud you viii crawl out.
II you are just simply member OF
/ His church and have not been born
again, you VIII Law In sin. That's
! a fact. Whosoever IL born OF God

/ MVthodists love the Prcsbytorians,

you Episcopalians love the Luther-
ans. Whosucver Is born OF God loY-

meancst things that have been said
about me while In Tulsa have been
said by church members.
| "Whosoever has been born or God
| loveth tho brethren" And. by gosn,
some of them have been preachers
at that.
"Whosoever is born of God loveth
| his brethren" DO you love me ? Wait

tell God about some OF you folks,
! You say, how can | tell whether
/ have been born OF God2 Well. | am
giving you some scriptural directions.

She said. Yes"
you are going to rise and cay
that you will extend the right hand
OF Fellowship TO those that are com
ing in?"
She said. "No they are coming
from our mission church and | an
not going to stand and say that

And vet that hussy had the ali
dacity TO say she was n follower o
Jesus Christ. She was so close Il

"WhosoeVer is born of God bcliev
eth that Jesus Is the Christ"
who Is a liar but he that denietl
that Jesus Is the Christ"
Nobody is horn OF God who denie
that Jesus Christ was the Son Of GOD
They are not born OF God: they can
be. There is no Christianity outsid
OF Jesus Christ.
There are lots OF people that liv
good lives that don't believe In tn
Son OF God, but they are not Chris
tianH, and the reason they live de
cent life In because OF the restrain
. ing influences OF Christianity. Their
Is no Christianity outside OF Chris
"Wnosoever Is born OF God over
cometh the world" How does tina
sound2 "Whosoover Is born of Go

There arc two classes OF people
those that overcome the world an
those that are overcome by tn
world. How many sound potatoe
