Frequently Asked Questions about the End Time Gospel FAQ

Answer:
“A little, old fellow down there, laying down by the pool of Bethesda, been laying there for thirty-eight years with an infirmity in his body, praying with all of his heart, and Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit right down to where he was, and healed him, when the rest of them was thinking about their diseases and things, and he went away from them, never said a word. You want--you want God to send the power upon you, go to praying and believing. The Holy Ghost will bring it to you, healing, salvation; whatever you have need of God will bring it to you. I can see a bunch of people that was cowardly, a hundred and twenty. Oh, little, old, cowardly people and there they was. They went up a little old step one time, because God said, "Now, don't you preach any more; don't you sing any more; don't you testify any more until you've been filled with the Holy Spirit. Then He's going lead you to all nations to preach this Gospel."” [Led By The Spirit Of God, Shreveport, LA, 56-0723] “John preached the baptism of the Holy Spirit. He never preached something
that he didn't have. He preached what he had received. And men of God that's
sent into the fields today has no right to preach the Gospel without the baptism
of the Holy Spirit. That's the first qualification of a minister, is to be
filled with the Holy Ghost. "So what did you go to see? A man dressed in soft
clothes?" He said, "Those that are dressed in soft clothes are of kings'
palaces." John was too far from Hollywood to be a dressed up social sort of a
preacher. "What did you go to hear, a man with a fine education?" John went into
the wilderness at the age of nine years old, the history says. His education
come from God. Why, did they go to see his campaign manager, an eloquent man who
could fix up the campaigns and get all the churches to cooperate? Why, of course
not. He rebuked Pharisees and Sadducees. He called the ministerial association a
group of snakes. He said, "Oh, you vipers. Who's warned you to flee from the
wrath to come. Don't start saying within yourself, 'We belong to this, or we
belong to that,' for God is able of these stones to rise children to Abraham."”
[What Went Ye Out To See, Utica IN, 59-1001] “I do not mean to be a rude, hard-cutting person. But I know what the world
needs. I know what the Scripture says. I know that that's the Truth. My hopes is
built absolutely upon THUS SAITH THE LORD. What He says, I believe. Now, there's
all different kinds of denomination of churches. I haven't not one ought against
any. I love them all. They all belong to God. But what I'm trying to do is get
this church to go back until they find that same Jesus, that same Jesus that
once you started out with. There isn't a person; there isn't a theologian in the
world today but what would have to say that the Christian church begin on the
day of Pentecost. Any Catholic priest would tell you that. Any Protestant
preacher would tell you that. Even a Jewish rabbi would tell you the Christian
church began at Pentecost. They was commissioned not to leave Jerusalem until
they was endued with power from on high. No man has the right to preach the
Gospel until he's been filled with the Holy Ghost. Jesus wouldn't let the
disciples preach the Gospel until first they received the Holy Ghost.” [From
The Beginning It Wasn't So, San.Jose ,CA, 59-1125] “Now, and if the Holy Spirit, which is God's Word, or the power of God's
Word, comes in with God's Word, it'll make God's Word display Itself. "Go ye
into all the world and demonstrate the Gospel to every creature. (See?) He that
believeth and is baptized shall be saved; he that believeth not shall be damned.
And these signs shall follow them that believe." What a beautiful setting that
is. If we would just go deep now and listen, that was the credentials that was
to hang onto every man that went forth preaching the Gospel. And no man has a
right to preach the Gospel without the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Jesus would
not let Peter, James, John, any of the rest of them, preach the Gospel until
they waited in the city of Jerusalem until the Holy Ghost had filled them,
because it's the Holy Ghost that makes the Word of God go into action. See?”
