136 But the Bible said you did. Now I want some theologian to disagree with that. See? See? It’s got to be. You say, “Well, baptism don’t make any difference.” Well, then, why was it written? Why did it make a difference to Paul? Why did it make a difference to all the rest of them? You’re either baptized…

The Bible said, “You have a name that you live, and you’re dead,” ’cause there’s not another name given under Heaven.

Why will you preach in It, pray in It, everything else, but, when you come to the pool, you reject It? Uh-huh. See?

I said to a man the other day, I said, “What if a man…”

He said, “Don’t make any difference.”

137 I said, “If a man come to you, and then said he was baptized in the name of ‘the Rose of Sharon, the Lily of the Valley, and the Morning Star,’ would you say he’s all right?”

He said, “No, sir.”

I said, “Would you rebaptize him?”

“Yes.”

I say, “How would you baptize?”

Said, “In the name of ‘the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.’”

138 I said, “All right, now you did exactly, you placed…If you call those ‘names,’ you did the same thing he did when he said, ‘Rose of Sharon, Lily of the Valley, and Morning Star,’ because that’s a title, and ‘Father, Son, and Holy Ghost’ is a title. See?”

He said, “But Jesus said baptize, ‘the Name.’”

139 I said, “That’s exactly what He meant do. But what in, not—not…He didn’t say, ‘call these words.’ ‘Baptize them in the Name,’ Name! Oh, my!” I said, “‘Father, Son, and Holy Ghost’ is titles. ‘The Name of the Father, Son…The Name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.’ See?” I said, “What did Peter say It was? What did the rest of them say It was? See? What is It? Uh-huh. The ‘Lord Jesus Christ’ is the Name of the ‘Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.’” He’s got about thirty thousand natives he’ll have to rebaptize again now. See? All right. But that’s right. Paul said, “If an Angel from Heaven…”

140 Paul told those people that wasn’t baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ, Acts 19:5, that, in order to receive the Holy Ghost, they had to come. Though they were shouting and praising God, and doing great things, he said they had to come back and be rebaptized, again, in the Name of Jesus Christ. After John the Baptist had baptized them, had to come back and be rebaptized.

And he said, in Galatians 1:8, “If a Angel from Heaven teaches any other thing than I’ve taught you, let him be accursed.” Yes, sir. So we have to stay right with that Word, every Word of It. See?

141 Notice. Oh, don’t have no flaws; be absolutely sure. If there’s anything doubting in your mind, you better straighten it up now. Don’t wait till then, it’s too late. Don’t wait till you take the mark so deep you’ll never see It any more, you’ll be blind.
