"L-60 Now long ago, a very famous school here in--in this city, a seminary. And they have one in Phoenix. And one of the man, or a couple of the students, was, came down to me and said, "We like you, Brother Branham. We don't have nothing again' you, at all, but we'd just like to straighten you out."L-61 And I said, "Well, I sure want to be straightened out." So, and so I said, "If I'm wrong, I certainly don't want to be wrong; I talk to too many people."L-62 And he said, "Well, here is your trouble." Said, "You are trying to introduce, or to make live again, an apostolic religion. When, the apostolic religion ceased with the apostles."
And I said, "Yes, sir." I said, "Well, now if..." He said, "Now, I wouldn't debate it with you."
L-63 I said, "I wouldn't either. We don't. We're not supposed to do that. We're brethren."And he said, "Well," he said, "I would just like to help you." I said, "I'm certainly willing to get help." And he said, "Now, you see," he said, "now the... that's true."
L-64 And I said, "Now, on talking, we mustn't use textbooks." I said, "I won't use mine," and I had none but This one. But so--so I said, "I won't use textbook, just the Bible. And, you, we just use the Bible."He said, "All right." L-65 I said, "Now, we believe that the apostolic church begin at the Day of Pentecost. Do you agree with that?" He said, "Yes, I do." [Acts 2:1]
L-66 I said, "Now we realize that God gave the church power there, for these apostolic movements." [Acts 1:8] L-67 He said, "Yes, that was the framework of the Church. Now the Church is already set in order, and we got all of our pastors, and our great organizations and things. We don't need those things anymore, to draw people."
L-68 I said, "Now where does the Bible say that?" I said, "You tell me where the Bible says that at." See? And he said, "Well, it doesn't exactly say that in that way."
L-69 I said, "Well, then, I can't receive it 'less it says it just in that way, see. See?" I said, "We're..." I said, "That's the way it has to be." I said, "Do you believe that God is still calling people?" He said, "Yes, sir." L-70 I said, "Now you will believe that the Bible is correct, every answer?" "Yeah."
L-71 I said, "Now, the spokesman at the Day of Pentecost, was Peter, who had the keys to the Kingdom." "That's right." [Matthew 16:18-19]
L-72 And I said, "Now, whatever his decision was, Jesus said, 'What you bind on earth, I'll bind in Heaven; what you loose on earth, I'll loose in Heaven.'" He said, "I'll believe that."
L-73 I said, "Now, in Acts the 2nd chapter and the 38th verse, Peter said to those people who were marveling. These people speaking in unknown tongues. And they asked him what they could do to be saved, and he said, 'Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin, you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost; for the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.' Now if God is still calling, that same promise is for them." [Acts 2:38]L-74 Well, he come over here and was with one of Billy Graham's groups up here praying for a meeting. And a group of them was sitting up here in California somewhere, a few weeks ago, in real deep sincere prayer, consecrated to God, fasting, and the Holy Ghost fell on the whole bunch and begin to speak in other tongues. Yeah.
L-75 Now he is a member of the--of the Friendly church, the Assemblies of God in Tucson, Arizona. He said, "Oh, Brother Branham, I go up there and feel so good!" Said, "Just raise back my hands, and," said, "the glory of God! I just sing!" And said, "I never could do that in a New Testament Baptist church."
I said, "I see you can't. That's why you're out." Yeah"
