THERE ARE TWO CHURCHES. ONE, IS THE PHYSICAL CHURCH, WHICH IS THE CHURCH BUILDINGS, AND THE PEOPLE THAT ASSEMBLE THEREIN. THE SECOND IS THE SPIRITUAL CHURCH, THE BODY OF CHRIST. THAT A CHILD OF GOD ENTERS INTO, WHEN HE IS BAPTIZED OUT OF THE WORLD AND INTO THE BODY CHRIST. WHEN THAT HOLY CHILD RECEIVES THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST, THAT CHRISTIAN, THAT CHRIST LIKE PERSON, BECOMES A MEMBER IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, THE SPIRITUAL CHURCH. WE AS INDIVIDUALS SPIRITUALLY ARE MEMBERS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, BUT COLLECTIVELY, WE ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST. 1Cor:12:27: Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. BELOVED OF GOD, YOU WILL KNOW YOUR BROTHERS, AND SISTERS, IN CHRIST FOR THEY LOVE GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. YOU WILL ALSO KNOW THE CHILDREN OF SATAN, FOR THEY DO NOT LOVE GOD, NEITHER DO THEY KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. IN THIS THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE MANIFEST, AND THE CHILDREN OF SATAN. 1Jn:3:1: Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 1Jn:3:2: Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1Jn:3:3: And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 1Jn:3:4: Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 1Jn:3:5: And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 1Jn:3:6: Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 1Jn:3:7: Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 1Jn:3:8: He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1Jn:3:9: Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1Jn:3:10: In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. CHILDREN OF LIGHT, THERE SEEM TO BE MULTITUDES OF MINISTERS THAT SAY FROM THE PULPIT THAT THEY SIN DAILY. THEY SAY A PERSON CANNOT LIVE ABOVE SIN. IT IS TRUE, A MAN CANNOT LIVE ABOVE SIN, IF THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST. COME INTO THIS KNOWLEDGE, THE CARNAL MIND, THAT IS THE FLESHLY MIND OF SENSE, AND REASON, WITHOUT THE HOLY GHOST. IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE LAWS OF GOD, NEITHER INDEED CAN BE. THEREFORE THE CHILDREN OF SATAN CANNOT KEEP FROM SINNING, THEY CANNOT DO THE WILL OF GOD. NEITHER CAN THEY PLEASE GOD. Rom:8:5: For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. Rom:8:6: For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Rom:8:7: Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Rom:8:8: So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. Rom:8:9: But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Rom:8:10: And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. CHRISTIAN BRETHREN, LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. WHEN WE AS CHILDREN OF GOD COME TOGETHER IN THESE CHURCH BUILDING, THERE IS A PROGRAM, A ORDER OF CHURCH SERVICE, A WELL ESTABLISHED PROCEDURE THAT IS SET FORTH IN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES TO BE FOLLOWED. LISTEN AS I READ THE PROCEDURE. 1Cor:14:26: How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 1Cor:14:27: If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 1Cor:14:28: But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 1Cor:14:29: Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. 1Cor:14:30: If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 1Cor:14:31: For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. 1Cor:14:32: And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 1Cor:14:33: For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 1Cor:14:34: Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 1Cor:14:35: And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. 1Cor:14:36: What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? 1Cor:14:37: If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. 1Cor:14:38: But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. 1Cor:14:39: Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. 1Cor:14:40: Let all things be done decently and in order. (KJV) SAINTS OF GOD, LET US EXAMINE THESE SCRIPTURES TO SEE HOW A CHURCH SERVICE SHOULD BE CONDUCTED. WE AS CHRISTIANS WHEN WE COME TO GATHER ARE TO SING. THE BIBLE SAYS LET THERE BE A PSALM. THERE IS TO BE DOCTRINE. A SPIRIT FILLED MAN IS TO TEACH THE LAWS OF GOD, AS SET FORTH IN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES. SO THAT THE CHILDREN OF GOD MIGHT HID THE LAWS OF GOD IN THEIR HEART, THAT THEY MIGHT NOT SIN AGAINST GOD. Ps:119:11: Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Ps:119:105: Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. BELOVED, THERE IS TO BE SINGING, THERE IS TO BE DOCTRINE, THERE IS TO BE A MESSAGE IN TONGUES. NOTICE THAT IT DOES NOT SAY WHAT TONGUE, FOR THE TONGUE IT REFERS TO IS THE UNKNOWN TONGUE. WHEN A CHILD OF GOD RECEIVES THE HOLY GHOST, THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL COMES TO LIFE. THAT PART OF A MAN COMES TO LIFE THAT SHALL LIVE IN ETERNITY. FOR THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL IS RENEWED EVERY DAY. 2Cor:4:16: For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. (KJV) HOLY CHILDREN THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL KNOWS THE HEAVENLY LANGUAGE AND WILL SPEAK UNTO GOD IN THE HEAVENLY LANGUAGE. NO MAN UNDERSTANDS THE LANGUAGE, BUT GOD UNDERSTANDS THE LANGUAGE, AND WILL ANSWER THROUGH AN INTERPRETER. 1Cor:14:2: For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. (KJV) SAINTS OF GOD, WHEN A PERSON RECEIVES THE HOLY GHOST, THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL COMES TO LIFE. THAT PART OF A MAN THAT SHALL LIVE IN ETERNITY COMES TO LIFE. AND THE HOLY GHOST BRINGS GIFTS. IT MAY BE THE GIFT OF HEALING, OR THE GIFT OF FAITH, OR THE GIFT OF TONGUES. 1Cor:12:7: But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 1Cor:12:8: For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 1Cor:12:9: To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 1Cor:12:10: To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 1Cor:12:11: But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. SAINTS OF GOD, SOME MEN GO TO CHURCH MOST ALL OF THEIR LIVES, AND NEVER HEAR A MESSAGE IN TONGUES. FOR WICKED MEN, IN AUTHORITY, IN MOST OF THE DENOMINATIONS, HAVE FORBID THE BAPTIZING IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. THERE IS A MOST PRECIOUS PROMISE MADE TO THE CHILDREN OF GOD, AND THAT IS IF THEY WILL REPENT, AND BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, THEY SHALL RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST. Acts:2:38: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (KJV) BROTHERS, AND SISTERS IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. THERE IS NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED. WHEN THE APOSTLE PETER, AND JOHN WERE EXAMINED FOR THE GOOD DEED DONE TO THE IMPOTENT MAN. THE APOSTLE PETER SAID THESE WORDS RECORDED IN, Acts:4:8: Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, Acts:4:9: If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole; Acts:4:10: Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. Acts:4:11: This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Acts:4:12: Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. LET ME ASK YOU A VERY SERIOUS QUESTION CHILD OF GOD, HAVE YOU RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST SINCE YOU BELIEVED? THE APOSTLE PAUL ASKED SOME OF THE DISCIPLES OF JOHN, THE BAPTIST, THIS QUESTION. AND, THEY ANSWERED THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW IF THERE WAS A HOLY GHOST. THEN THE APOSTLE PAUL INQUIRED AS TO HOW THEY WERE BAPTISED. WHEN HE COME INTO THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAD NOT BEEN BAPTIZED PROPERLY, HE BAPTISED THEM A SECOND TIME, IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. AND THEY RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST. Acts:19:1: And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, Acts:19:2: He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. Acts:19:3: And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. Acts:19:4: Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. Acts:19:5: When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Acts:19:6: And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. HOLY CHILDREN, FOR A MAN TO PREACH AND TEACH SOUND DOCTRINE, THEY MUST BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST. FOR A CONGREGATION TO SPEAK IN THE UNKNOWN TONGUE, AND TO INTERPRET, THE MEN MUST, LET ME REPEAT, MUST BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST. FOR MEN TO STAND AND TRUTHFULLY PROPHESY, THEY MUST BE SPIRIT FILLED. THERE ARE MEN IN THESE DENOMINATIONS THAT ARE CHILDREN OF SATAN. THEY PREACH, AND TEACH HERESIES. THEY REFUSE TO LET THE CHILDREN OF GOD PREACH SOUND DOCTRINE. THE CHILDREN OF SATAN REFUSE TO BAPTIZE THOSE THAT PRESENT THEMSELVES AS CANDIDATES FOR BAPTISM, IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. SATAN THE DEVIL HAS THE POWER TO PRESENT HIMSELF AS AND ANGEL OF LIGHT, AND HIS MINISTERS HAVE THE POWER TO PRESENT THEMSELVES AS MINISTERS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. THE APOSTLE PAUL SAID THESE WORDS CONCERNING THE CHILDREN OF SATAN. 2Cor:11:12: But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. 2Cor:11:13: For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 2Cor:11:14: And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2Cor:11:15: Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. SAINTS OF GOD, THE OLD SERPENT THE DEVIL, HIS PROPHETS, HIS TEACHERS, AND ALL HIS CHILDREN HAVE PURPOSED IN THEIR HEARTS TO SEND THE CHILDREN OF GOD INTO THE FLAMES OF HELL. SATAN, AND HIS CHILDREN USE THE WORD OF GOD AS A WEAPON TO DESTROY THE CHILDREN OF GOD. Rom:6:23: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (KJV) WHEN WE AS CHILDREN OF GOD COME TOGETHER, THERE IS TO BE SINGING THERE IS TO BE DOCTRINE, THERE IS TO BE TONGUES, THERE IS TO BE A REVELATION, THERE IS TO BE AN INTERPRETING, THE PROPHETS ARE TO SPEAK TWO OR THREE, AND THE OTHER ARE TO JUDGE. AND, THE WOMEN ARE TO BE SILENT IN THE CHURCHES. 1Cor:14:34: Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. (KJV) 1Cor:14:35: And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. (KJV) SAINTS OF GOD, WHEN WE AS CHILDREN OF GOD COME TOGETHER IN THE PHYSICAL CHURCH, THERE IS TO BE SINGING, THERE IS TO BE DOCTRINE, THERE IS TO BE TONGUES, THERE IS TO BE REVELATION, THERE IS TO BE INTERPRETATION, THE PROPHETS ARE TO SPEAK TWO OR THREE, AND THE OTHER ARE TO JUDGE. THE WOMEN ARE TO KEEP SILENCE IN THE CHURCH. IF A MAN OR WOMAN WILL NOT DO AS THE LORD COMMANDS, IT IS SIN.
