1
00:00:01,610 --> 00:00:10,730
All right, in Ephesians 4 then, verse 5,

2
00:00:12,870 --> 00:00:19,570
we're on the last phrase, one baptism, one

3
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:23,200
baptism.

4
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,260
Seems a familiar phrase to me.

5
00:00:31,450 --> 00:00:31,990
Hallelujah.

6
00:00:33,730 --> 00:00:37,210
I blessed the Lord when the time came

7
00:00:37,210 --> 00:00:38,390
when I believed that.

8
00:00:39,790 --> 00:00:42,010
And I didn't go looking for any other.

9
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,180
And of course you will know that there

10
00:00:47,180 --> 00:00:50,320
are people who purport to believe that there

11
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,360
is one baptism, and only one baptism.

12
00:00:55,830 --> 00:00:58,150
But they think that it's water baptism.

13
00:00:58,630 --> 00:01:02,050
I could name the denomination that thinks so.

14
00:01:03,050 --> 00:01:05,290
And says, well that's what it is.

15
00:01:06,670 --> 00:01:09,910
But of course, those of us who've been

16
00:01:09,910 --> 00:01:14,470
baptized in water, know that it isn't.

17
00:01:16,470 --> 00:01:17,590
It's a tremendous thing.

18
00:01:17,810 --> 00:01:20,790
I can never forget one of the times

19
00:01:20,790 --> 00:01:23,030
when I was at Laura, oh many years

20
00:01:23,030 --> 00:01:25,590
back now, and there was an elderly gentleman,

21
00:01:26,210 --> 00:01:28,230
and he was going to be baptized.

22
00:01:29,210 --> 00:01:33,110
I knew that he had chatted with the

23
00:01:33,110 --> 00:01:37,210
resident there about being baptized, because he'd been

24
00:01:37,210 --> 00:01:42,230
baptized as a Baptist many, many years before.

25
00:01:43,090 --> 00:01:45,030
And he wanted to know what to do,

26
00:01:45,170 --> 00:01:46,750
and they talked it over.

27
00:01:48,550 --> 00:01:51,970
Anyway, the evening came, and he was going

28
00:01:51,970 --> 00:01:53,250
to be baptized all right.

29
00:01:53,330 --> 00:01:55,130
There's no doubt about that, he'd got his

30
00:01:55,130 --> 00:01:57,210
all the odd clothes on that you wear

31
00:01:57,210 --> 00:01:58,430
when you're being baptized.

32
00:01:59,690 --> 00:02:03,550
And just before he went in, he stayed

33
00:02:03,550 --> 00:02:08,289
at the edge of the baptistry there, and

34
00:02:08,289 --> 00:02:10,890
he said, I want to give a little

35
00:02:10,890 --> 00:02:11,430
testimony.

36
00:02:12,450 --> 00:02:13,350
Excuse me.

37
00:02:16,090 --> 00:02:20,190
I'm being baptized a second time, because the

38
00:02:20,190 --> 00:02:23,750
first time when I was baptized, I went

39
00:02:23,750 --> 00:02:25,970
into the pool, a dry simmer, and came

40
00:02:25,970 --> 00:02:26,770
up a wet one.

41
00:02:29,490 --> 00:02:30,490
That's what he said.

42
00:02:30,950 --> 00:02:34,110
But now I know what it's about.

43
00:02:35,730 --> 00:02:36,470
That's right.

44
00:02:37,130 --> 00:02:40,310
And he went down into the water, and

45
00:02:40,310 --> 00:02:42,370
he came up, not that the water did

46
00:02:42,370 --> 00:02:44,590
it, a real child of God, because he

47
00:02:44,590 --> 00:02:45,870
was one before he went in.

48
00:02:46,910 --> 00:02:50,210
But what a marvelous thing it is, beloved,

49
00:02:50,950 --> 00:02:53,170
to come to understanding the Baptist.

50
00:02:53,350 --> 00:02:54,830
It may be that there are many of

51
00:02:54,830 --> 00:02:58,650
us in this room who are following the

52
00:02:58,650 --> 00:03:02,610
doctrine, you know, of a particular denomination, group,

53
00:03:02,750 --> 00:03:03,950
whatever they may call themselves.

54
00:03:04,090 --> 00:03:05,910
There's some people who don't like to be

55
00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:09,690
called a denomination, and so on.

56
00:03:10,470 --> 00:03:12,950
They go, they sort of believe and be

57
00:03:12,950 --> 00:03:14,250
baptized and so on.

58
00:03:16,350 --> 00:03:19,470
And it's good to be obedient, and it

59
00:03:19,470 --> 00:03:23,970
often brings up contentions in the mind, or

60
00:03:23,970 --> 00:03:26,170
questioning about it all.

61
00:03:26,210 --> 00:03:27,930
I've heard people say, I wish I could

62
00:03:27,930 --> 00:03:30,250
be baptized again, it didn't mean anything to

63
00:03:30,250 --> 00:03:32,450
me first time, and so on and so

64
00:03:32,450 --> 00:03:32,690
on.

65
00:03:34,110 --> 00:03:37,430
So far as that's concerned, if you would

66
00:03:37,430 --> 00:03:40,110
like a word from my mind about it,

67
00:03:40,650 --> 00:03:43,070
it doesn't matter about how many times you're

68
00:03:43,070 --> 00:03:45,650
baptized, or the amount of water you're baptized

69
00:03:45,650 --> 00:03:46,110
in.

70
00:03:47,250 --> 00:03:49,730
The obedience is to be baptized.

71
00:03:50,590 --> 00:03:52,350
That's a tremendous thing.

72
00:03:53,410 --> 00:03:55,010
Now I even know a woman that's been

73
00:03:55,010 --> 00:03:58,930
baptized three times, and I think that's very,

74
00:03:59,230 --> 00:04:05,280
very sad, in water, because somebody else got

75
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,940
hold of her, and they said, oh no,

76
00:04:07,020 --> 00:04:09,300
that wasn't the right baptism, that second time,

77
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,660
just be baptized this way, and so on

78
00:04:11,660 --> 00:04:12,320
and so on and so on.

79
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,760
And that's tragic.

80
00:04:16,220 --> 00:04:20,500
And I'm not talking about water baptism at

81
00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:23,720
all, though if you would like to turn

82
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,120
with me to Romans 6, I'd like to

83
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,080
make this comment on it, which won't be

84
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,720
new to many of you, I am sure,

85
00:04:31,020 --> 00:04:33,340
perhaps nothing of what I say this afternoon

86
00:04:33,340 --> 00:04:37,180
will be new to you, especially if you've

87
00:04:37,180 --> 00:04:38,380
read a certain book.

88
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:45,040
But here is Romans 6.

89
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,560
All I want you to do with me

90
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,100
is cast your eye down to it quickly,

91
00:04:50,900 --> 00:04:52,460
if you haven't got little tiny pens and

92
00:04:52,460 --> 00:04:55,160
you can't quite do that very fast, and

93
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,740
your eyes are bigger than the print of

94
00:04:58,740 --> 00:05:02,000
a thing, you go right down through this

95
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,700
glorious chapter, and by the time you've got

96
00:05:06,700 --> 00:05:11,120
to the end of it, you must have

97
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,260
come to a realization, and that is that

98
00:05:14,260 --> 00:05:16,300
there's no water in Romans 6.

99
00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:23,420
There's no water there, obviously.

100
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,500
The man is not talking about being baptized

101
00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:28,580
in water.

102
00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:34,070
Perhaps we won't take time to go through

103
00:05:34,070 --> 00:05:37,370
word by word, verse by verse, see if

104
00:05:37,370 --> 00:05:42,150
we can discover even one raindrop in it,

105
00:05:42,230 --> 00:05:45,610
because we won't find it if we searched

106
00:05:45,610 --> 00:05:47,550
all day and all night.

107
00:05:50,450 --> 00:05:56,350
So, undoubtedly, the picture of baptism in water

108
00:05:56,350 --> 00:06:00,390
is in it, or at least that which,

109
00:06:00,810 --> 00:06:05,130
that water baptism does set forth before our

110
00:06:05,130 --> 00:06:07,950
eyes, is in the chapter.

111
00:06:10,010 --> 00:06:13,150
What a tremendous thing it is, beloved, when

112
00:06:13,150 --> 00:06:14,190
we are baptized.

113
00:06:14,390 --> 00:06:16,810
For instance, the first word, time of water,

114
00:06:17,130 --> 00:06:19,830
the word baptized is introduced in Romans 6,

115
00:06:20,150 --> 00:06:21,610
is in verse 3.

116
00:06:22,410 --> 00:06:24,110
Know ye not that so many of us

117
00:06:24,110 --> 00:06:27,110
as were baptized in water, oh no, sorry,

118
00:06:27,250 --> 00:06:32,750
I didn't say that, baptized into Jesus Christ,

119
00:06:35,220 --> 00:06:37,140
were baptized into his death.

120
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:44,460
I appreciate the use of the word baptized

121
00:06:44,460 --> 00:06:45,380
there.

122
00:06:48,250 --> 00:06:51,030
Paul was much worried whether I appreciated it

123
00:06:51,030 --> 00:06:51,770
or not, I'm sure.

124
00:06:52,470 --> 00:06:58,330
But, it introduces me to a fact.

125
00:06:59,670 --> 00:07:01,950
We talk about being in Christ.

126
00:07:02,950 --> 00:07:05,710
There is no way that you can be

127
00:07:05,710 --> 00:07:09,110
in Christ unless you are baptized into him.

128
00:07:10,490 --> 00:07:15,310
That's the method of incorporating us into Christ.

129
00:07:16,330 --> 00:07:19,130
Now, I know that the Ephesian letter talks

130
00:07:19,130 --> 00:07:23,550
about being chosen in Christ before the foundation

131
00:07:23,550 --> 00:07:26,550
of the world, and how true it is.

132
00:07:27,630 --> 00:07:30,270
And, we can read this again in the

133
00:07:30,270 --> 00:07:32,410
glory of hate chapter of Romans, not that

134
00:07:32,410 --> 00:07:34,430
I want to spend time on it, having

135
00:07:34,430 --> 00:07:35,910
done that the other day.

136
00:07:37,730 --> 00:07:40,990
There is only one way that you and

137
00:07:40,990 --> 00:07:44,170
I can be in Christ.

138
00:07:45,710 --> 00:07:48,530
Now, you can say, well, by faith, yes,

139
00:07:48,570 --> 00:07:50,450
that must be taken for granted.

140
00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:54,390
And, I'm not preaching to outsiders who don't

141
00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:55,970
know anything about faith.

142
00:07:56,770 --> 00:08:00,290
I am preaching to those who, I assume

143
00:08:00,290 --> 00:08:05,470
because you're here, are insiders of some depth

144
00:08:05,470 --> 00:08:06,890
or to some extent.

145
00:08:11,260 --> 00:08:16,300
Wesley uses the phrase of believe myself into

146
00:08:16,300 --> 00:08:17,100
him.

147
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,420
That's real good, pure Arminianism.

148
00:08:20,540 --> 00:08:22,560
He was an Arminian, all right.

149
00:08:23,020 --> 00:08:24,160
No doubt about that.

150
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,660
But, of course you do believe.

151
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,760
But, it's rather like when you go in

152
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:33,900
for a car wash.

153
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,280
You do go in for car washes, because

154
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,720
you shut the windows, don't you, so you

155
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:39,919
don't get washed, as I recall.

156
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,600
But, you drive up to a certain place

157
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,000
very, very steadily, and then you stop, and

158
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,180
then something takes over.

159
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,980
You must cut your engine off.

160
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,080
You must stop.

161
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,560
And, that takes you in and through, cleans

162
00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:57,280
you up, and sets you up the other

163
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:57,620
side.

164
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:58,920
Now, that's the believing.

165
00:08:59,340 --> 00:09:02,120
You believe yourself to that position, and then

166
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,760
come for a take-off.

167
00:09:04,940 --> 00:09:10,740
There is no way into Christ except by

168
00:09:10,740 --> 00:09:13,020
being baptized into him.

169
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,060
And, that is the one baptism of which

170
00:09:18,060 --> 00:09:19,420
the Bible speaks.

171
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,300
You can have a dozen other things called

172
00:09:23,300 --> 00:09:29,420
the baptism, and surely the experiences that come

173
00:09:29,420 --> 00:09:33,520
in some people's lives, to them, fit the

174
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:34,100
description.

175
00:09:35,340 --> 00:09:37,960
I read a book by a great man

176
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,820
of God, many years ago, and he said,

177
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,600
there are many baptisms in the book.

178
00:09:42,820 --> 00:09:44,000
It's out of print now.

179
00:09:44,460 --> 00:09:49,240
And, in that sense, he is right, in

180
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,360
that we've seen contemplations in our lives, when

181
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,120
we have immersed into this, that, and the

182
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:56,300
other.

183
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,780
And, we suddenly find ourselves in the new

184
00:09:59,780 --> 00:10:04,860
place of believing, or new experiences of the

185
00:10:04,860 --> 00:10:06,680
grace and power of Christ.

186
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:12,160
But, there is only one baptism properly so

187
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:12,800
-called.

188
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:19,800
And, that is this great baptism into Christ.

189
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:25,200
Now, I've heard people speak of baptisms of

190
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,940
power, and I've heard, I've read, I think,

191
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,600
somewhere, of a great baptism of love, or

192
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:33,640
something like that.

193
00:10:34,420 --> 00:10:39,980
Meaning, that suddenly, the whole person's self, heart,

194
00:10:40,140 --> 00:10:46,720
understanding, seem to enter into something absolutely new.

195
00:10:47,340 --> 00:10:52,160
Now, you must expect things like that, because,

196
00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:57,220
as the Bible says, there are glorious experiences,

197
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,720
and I've used the word, by which we

198
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,820
go from glory to glory.

199
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:02,540
We love it.

200
00:11:02,580 --> 00:11:04,240
We go from one state of glory to

201
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:04,400
another.

202
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,280
All that used to be right in the

203
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:06,940
church at one period.

204
00:11:07,300 --> 00:11:08,620
It was a lovely new phrase.

205
00:11:09,380 --> 00:11:11,020
I'm glad it's sort of dropping out a

206
00:11:11,020 --> 00:11:11,140
bit.

207
00:11:12,060 --> 00:11:13,820
The church is always coming up with new

208
00:11:13,820 --> 00:11:14,420
gimmicks.

209
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,160
You come from one state of glory to

210
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,340
another state of glory.

211
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,620
Everywhere I went, sometimes, somebody was praying that.

212
00:11:22,620 --> 00:11:25,420
I thought, well, that's another phrase, Lord.

213
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:28,040
You see?

214
00:11:28,860 --> 00:11:32,120
And, this is the way it goes on.

215
00:11:32,180 --> 00:11:34,100
I'm not delivering the truth to love.

216
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:38,640
I'm only saying how easily we have catch

217
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:39,140
phrases.

218
00:11:40,780 --> 00:11:43,140
And, they've always been in the Bible, of

219
00:11:43,140 --> 00:11:45,360
course, but they get taken up with a

220
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,700
whoop, and then, suddenly, you find them dropped

221
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:50,140
again.

222
00:11:50,900 --> 00:11:51,840
Something else comes.

223
00:11:53,940 --> 00:11:58,520
What a marvellous truth it is, beloved, to

224
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,640
enter into this great truth.

225
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:07,480
If we go back into that heathen letter,

226
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:13,100
we must see the whole construction of truth.

227
00:12:18,450 --> 00:12:21,290
You see, he starts off, as you remember,

228
00:12:21,590 --> 00:12:25,870
some days ago now, it must be years

229
00:12:25,870 --> 00:12:28,330
ago, we looked at this.

230
00:12:28,890 --> 00:12:31,030
There is one body.

231
00:12:31,370 --> 00:12:33,630
Now, you only get into that body by

232
00:12:33,630 --> 00:12:35,910
being baptised into it.

233
00:12:39,050 --> 00:12:40,270
That's the only way in.

234
00:12:40,890 --> 00:12:43,710
And, there's one spirit in the body, and

235
00:12:43,710 --> 00:12:46,030
you've got to be baptised in the spirit

236
00:12:46,750 --> 00:12:50,950
of that body, into that body.

237
00:12:52,390 --> 00:12:53,750
Now, did you know that?

238
00:12:54,470 --> 00:12:56,010
Let me tell you this.

239
00:12:57,410 --> 00:12:59,490
I am a person.

240
00:13:01,190 --> 00:13:02,770
You meet me.

241
00:13:04,050 --> 00:13:06,470
And, if it's anything like me meeting you,

242
00:13:06,550 --> 00:13:07,650
and I suppose it is, I do.

243
00:13:09,130 --> 00:13:12,830
I impact your spirit before I touch your

244
00:13:12,830 --> 00:13:13,190
body.

245
00:13:21,340 --> 00:13:25,040
Yes, I warn you this.

246
00:13:25,860 --> 00:13:26,880
I don't want to say it.

247
00:13:27,460 --> 00:13:28,400
That still won't come near me.

248
00:13:29,260 --> 00:13:31,420
I know you the first time I meet

249
00:13:31,420 --> 00:13:31,580
you.

250
00:13:33,350 --> 00:13:34,150
I know your spirit.

251
00:13:34,870 --> 00:13:36,690
First time I meet you.

252
00:13:40,390 --> 00:13:41,790
There's no concealing that.

253
00:13:45,740 --> 00:13:59,520
You contact the spirit before you contact me.

254
00:13:59,580 --> 00:14:01,720
And, whether you know it or not, to

255
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,900
some extent, and I don't want to overuse

256
00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:06,400
the scriptural terms, you drink of that.

257
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,820
Now, that's a big thing for us to

258
00:14:17,820 --> 00:14:18,220
understand.

259
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,020
Yet, if you think that's just about it,

260
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,960
you see, you have to do some thinking

261
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,100
when you read the scripture.

262
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,020
And, you find that it works out on

263
00:14:29,020 --> 00:14:32,940
every level, and with every relationship.

264
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,100
I know your spirit.

265
00:14:35,020 --> 00:14:36,840
I hope you know mine.

266
00:14:40,620 --> 00:14:41,960
And yet, you're not in my body.

267
00:14:45,550 --> 00:14:47,050
Here is the tragedy.

268
00:14:47,310 --> 00:14:49,210
There are some people who come under the

269
00:14:49,210 --> 00:14:50,330
drawings of the Father.

270
00:14:50,850 --> 00:14:52,610
That's where we'll leave that for tonight.

271
00:14:53,170 --> 00:14:59,630
There are some people, they have something of

272
00:14:59,630 --> 00:15:00,230
the spirit.

273
00:15:00,430 --> 00:15:03,210
And, in the spirit, in this state, you

274
00:15:03,210 --> 00:15:06,290
know, is when sometimes we may think, and

275
00:15:06,290 --> 00:15:08,010
I don't want to use it, move into

276
00:15:08,010 --> 00:15:10,490
the mystical world, about people having a sort

277
00:15:10,490 --> 00:15:11,630
of an aura.

278
00:15:12,190 --> 00:15:15,430
All right, you can come into them, and

279
00:15:15,430 --> 00:15:16,730
be affected by them.

280
00:15:17,190 --> 00:15:19,930
And, people did that by the thousand when

281
00:15:19,930 --> 00:15:21,370
Jesus Christ was on the earth.

282
00:15:22,410 --> 00:15:24,790
But, they weren't in the body.

283
00:15:26,530 --> 00:15:28,110
This is the great deception.

284
00:15:29,910 --> 00:15:34,410
Oh, God, open everybody's eyes, and we'll see

285
00:15:34,410 --> 00:15:36,830
what the real church is.

286
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,200
What a marvellous thing it is for us

287
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:43,820
to understand.

288
00:15:44,140 --> 00:15:46,480
If you think, and look, and say, oh,

289
00:15:46,580 --> 00:15:48,900
of course that explains this and that.

290
00:15:49,060 --> 00:15:50,360
It does explain everything.

291
00:15:50,900 --> 00:15:52,300
Hmm, fits in, doesn't it?

292
00:15:53,380 --> 00:15:59,840
Once you begin to understand fact, I want

293
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,180
to tell you, beloved, that the Spirit of

294
00:16:02,180 --> 00:16:05,040
God is moving on this earth.

295
00:16:05,140 --> 00:16:06,860
But, you won't say everybody's in God, will

296
00:16:06,860 --> 00:16:07,060
you?

297
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:11,560
Well, will you?

298
00:16:16,930 --> 00:16:19,550
Once we really sit down and do some

299
00:16:19,550 --> 00:16:24,270
thinking, when the mind is sanctified unto the

300
00:16:24,270 --> 00:16:31,340
Scripture, things begin to take their proper shape.

301
00:16:32,740 --> 00:16:35,300
And, we begin to understand.

302
00:16:39,470 --> 00:16:42,910
You can't get into the body unless you

303
00:16:42,910 --> 00:16:44,710
are baptised into it.

304
00:16:45,630 --> 00:16:48,830
And, that is the one great baptism.

305
00:16:49,910 --> 00:16:53,070
And, it will take place in everybody's life

306
00:16:53,070 --> 00:16:57,090
when they will confess, let's have a look

307
00:16:57,090 --> 00:17:02,030
into this section again, that Jesus Christ is

308
00:17:02,030 --> 00:17:04,530
the Lord, the one Lord.

309
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:09,069
And, when you come to the one faith,

310
00:17:09,150 --> 00:17:12,750
and not yours particularly, you will receive the

311
00:17:12,750 --> 00:17:17,390
one baptism, into that one body.

312
00:17:19,230 --> 00:17:19,770
Hallelujah.

313
00:17:20,290 --> 00:17:23,470
What a glorious thing it is, then, to

314
00:17:23,470 --> 00:17:26,190
see the way it all works.

315
00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:30,600
Oh, hallelujah.

316
00:17:33,310 --> 00:17:35,750
Other language can be used about this.

317
00:17:37,590 --> 00:17:39,750
Let me turn you for a moment into

318
00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:40,770
the Philippian letter.

319
00:17:41,430 --> 00:17:43,270
Then, I want to come back into the

320
00:17:43,270 --> 00:17:45,570
Ephesian letter and the first chapter.

321
00:17:46,190 --> 00:17:50,210
In the Philippian letter, this is what we

322
00:17:50,210 --> 00:17:51,510
read in chapter two.

323
00:17:52,790 --> 00:17:57,450
It says, and are you going to read

324
00:17:57,450 --> 00:18:02,450
with me now, behind this statement, and it's

325
00:18:02,450 --> 00:18:05,270
on the mind, there is the mind of

326
00:18:05,270 --> 00:18:10,350
the Spirit who constructed the Scriptures to eternal

327
00:18:10,350 --> 00:18:16,010
truth, based the Scriptures upon eternal truth.

328
00:18:16,870 --> 00:18:21,550
He says this, let this mind be in

329
00:18:21,550 --> 00:18:27,920
you, which was also in Christ Jesus, who,

330
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,060
being in the form of God, prudent not,

331
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,320
rather, to be equal with God, of course,

332
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:41,120
but made himself of no reputation, and took

333
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:44,620
upon him the form of a servant, and

334
00:18:44,620 --> 00:18:47,100
was made in the likeness of men, and

335
00:18:47,100 --> 00:18:47,980
so on.

336
00:18:48,860 --> 00:18:51,340
Now, you will know that that verse seven

337
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:57,760
really should be, he emptied himself, made himself

338
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:58,820
of no reputation.

339
00:18:59,360 --> 00:19:01,240
What did he empty himself of?

340
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,620
Now, there are those who think that he

341
00:19:04,620 --> 00:19:09,260
didn't really empty himself of anything, that he

342
00:19:09,260 --> 00:19:10,720
really wasn't the son of God, that he

343
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,060
was born of Mary, or born of Paul,

344
00:19:15,140 --> 00:19:22,970
but he was the great living one with

345
00:19:22,970 --> 00:19:25,850
his father, glory to God.

346
00:19:26,190 --> 00:19:28,470
But why, what did he empty himself of?

347
00:19:28,490 --> 00:19:30,450
Did he empty himself of his Godhead?

348
00:19:30,570 --> 00:19:31,410
He did not.

349
00:19:32,470 --> 00:19:34,250
He, what did he empty himself of?

350
00:19:34,370 --> 00:19:39,530
Just this, that before this happened, and actually,

351
00:19:40,010 --> 00:19:42,710
before the foundation of the world, in Ephesians

352
00:19:42,710 --> 00:19:49,070
1, we're back there, all right, in verse

353
00:19:49,070 --> 00:19:54,630
four, you and I were chosen in him.

354
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:01,960
We were chosen in him before the world

355
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,080
was, before the foundation of the world, and

356
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:09,080
remember that the Lamb was only flamed from

357
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,920
the foundation of the world.

358
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:12,340
Keep that clear.

359
00:20:13,340 --> 00:20:17,620
Before that, we were chosen in him, but

360
00:20:17,620 --> 00:20:23,040
when he became a man, he had to

361
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,320
become, he had to empty us out of

362
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,840
him in that sense, and come down to

363
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,980
this earth, and win us.

364
00:20:35,390 --> 00:20:35,830
Hallelujah.

365
00:20:37,090 --> 00:20:40,130
Praise the name of the Lord, in the

366
00:20:40,130 --> 00:20:42,630
heart of God, still chosen.

367
00:20:43,630 --> 00:20:46,750
I know that whatever God doeth, says Scripture,

368
00:20:46,830 --> 00:20:47,710
it shall be forever.

369
00:20:48,510 --> 00:20:49,010
Hallelujah.

370
00:20:50,410 --> 00:20:54,590
Nevertheless, he came down to this earth, the

371
00:20:54,590 --> 00:20:59,390
chosen Christ, and something happened when he emptied

372
00:20:59,390 --> 00:21:00,870
himself of us.

373
00:21:01,610 --> 00:21:02,290
He lived.

374
00:21:03,010 --> 00:21:03,770
He died.

375
00:21:04,770 --> 00:21:05,270
All right.

376
00:21:06,470 --> 00:21:11,110
And when he died, and when he rose,

377
00:21:11,210 --> 00:21:13,110
this is what happened, and this is why

378
00:21:13,110 --> 00:21:16,930
old Paul praises his God, in Ephesians 1.

379
00:21:16,930 --> 00:21:20,530
This is hit in the end of verse

380
00:21:20,530 --> 00:21:24,130
16 of chapter 1, making mention of us

381
00:21:24,130 --> 00:21:28,690
in his prayers, that the God of our

382
00:21:28,690 --> 00:21:33,210
Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, we

383
00:21:33,210 --> 00:21:34,810
can't get away from this link with the

384
00:21:34,810 --> 00:21:38,210
fatherhood at the moment, may give unto you

385
00:21:38,210 --> 00:21:42,930
the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the

386
00:21:42,930 --> 00:21:47,250
knowledge of him, the eyes of your understanding

387
00:21:47,250 --> 00:21:48,130
being enlightened.

388
00:21:48,310 --> 00:21:50,190
Now, Paul knows he's got a great difficulty

389
00:21:50,190 --> 00:21:51,050
on here.

390
00:21:52,410 --> 00:21:57,430
So, get people's eyes of understanding, the eyes

391
00:21:57,430 --> 00:22:01,050
of the heart, open to see this.

392
00:22:01,430 --> 00:22:02,290
Listen, hear this.

393
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,380
So, you may know what is the hope

394
00:22:08,380 --> 00:22:09,020
of his calling.

395
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,700
There you are, it was mentioned in the

396
00:22:10,700 --> 00:22:14,480
seven of the structure, in fact, the four.

397
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:15,280
All right.

398
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:20,860
The hope of his calling, and what the

399
00:22:20,860 --> 00:22:24,360
riches of the glory of his inheritance in

400
00:22:24,360 --> 00:22:29,820
faith, hallelujah, and what is the exceeding greatness

401
00:22:29,820 --> 00:22:34,180
of his power to us who believe according

402
00:22:34,180 --> 00:22:37,440
to the working of his mighty power, which

403
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:43,160
he wrought in Christ when he raised him

404
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:49,180
from the dead, hallelujah, which links with this

405
00:22:49,180 --> 00:22:52,540
in verse, in chapter 2, verse 8, by

406
00:22:52,540 --> 00:22:57,820
grace are you saved through faith, of course,

407
00:22:58,380 --> 00:23:01,260
and that not of yourselves, it is the

408
00:23:01,260 --> 00:23:05,940
gift of God, not of works, lest any

409
00:23:05,940 --> 00:23:09,320
man should boast, for we are his workmanship

410
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,980
created in Christ Jesus.

411
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,660
Now, you see, we were chosen in Christ,

412
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,120
then we had to be created in him.

413
00:23:17,300 --> 00:23:19,180
We had to be created in him.

414
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,160
He entered himself, okay, for when God raised

415
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,040
him from the dead, he inwrought us back

416
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:28,960
into Christ.

417
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,640
If I may use that figure, pardon the

418
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,020
limitation of human idea, but that's the truth.

419
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,260
And we are his workmanship.

420
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,160
Well, what a tremendous thing it is.

421
00:23:43,500 --> 00:23:45,180
Of course, he had to empty himself of

422
00:23:45,180 --> 00:23:47,800
the cross, and somebody would have come along,

423
00:23:47,900 --> 00:23:49,900
some bright person, sometimes said, well, of course,

424
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:51,500
if we were in Christ on the cross,

425
00:23:51,500 --> 00:23:52,520
we are our own sages.

426
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,880
No, no, he was really alone, and that's

427
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:01,700
what in one way made him cry on

428
00:24:01,700 --> 00:24:07,540
the cross, my God, why, why, why have

429
00:24:07,540 --> 00:24:08,920
you forsaken me?

430
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:17,790
That's right, and he was alone, that's for

431
00:24:17,790 --> 00:24:18,350
one point.

432
00:24:19,190 --> 00:24:23,650
And then, having, if you like, created this

433
00:24:23,650 --> 00:24:30,190
glory of salvation, having brought in redemption through

434
00:24:30,190 --> 00:24:38,900
his blood, having established it, what did God

435
00:24:38,900 --> 00:24:42,380
work in Christ when he raised him from

436
00:24:42,380 --> 00:24:43,060
the dead?

437
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:45,260
Adam.

438
00:24:45,620 --> 00:24:49,920
He wrought in him, he wrought in him,

439
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,120
he worked in him.

440
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:54,740
Amen.

441
00:24:58,540 --> 00:25:04,860
And I'm his workmanship, I'm a creation.

442
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,160
I'm not a copy, that's, that's it.

443
00:25:11,140 --> 00:25:12,640
I'm a creation.

444
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,380
Adam was a creation.

445
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,740
I'm a creation, I'm not a copy.

446
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,620
Pray God I shall never be a copy.

447
00:25:29,770 --> 00:25:34,090
And here, then, is the great and marvellous

448
00:25:34,090 --> 00:25:34,410
truth.

449
00:25:35,510 --> 00:25:40,550
That's, that's looking at baptism another way.

450
00:25:42,950 --> 00:25:50,190
The, the great work, the mystery of salvation

451
00:25:50,190 --> 00:25:52,670
that I mean, another way of looking at

452
00:25:52,670 --> 00:25:52,890
it.

453
00:25:53,210 --> 00:25:55,910
Because, you see, well, one's baptism and one's

454
00:25:55,910 --> 00:25:56,230
work.

455
00:25:56,270 --> 00:25:58,450
Well, go back to Romans 6, if you

456
00:25:58,450 --> 00:25:58,790
like.

457
00:25:59,710 --> 00:26:01,990
There was, there's work in baptism.

458
00:26:03,950 --> 00:26:06,850
This is, it's only alluded to under the

459
00:26:06,850 --> 00:26:07,650
figure of baptism.

460
00:26:07,890 --> 00:26:12,230
It says, it says, we were buried with

461
00:26:12,230 --> 00:26:15,150
him by baptism into death.

462
00:26:15,790 --> 00:26:18,110
The life of Christ was raised up from

463
00:26:18,110 --> 00:26:20,350
the dead by the glory of the Father.

464
00:26:20,650 --> 00:26:24,270
Even so, we also should walk in newness

465
00:26:24,270 --> 00:26:24,990
of life.

466
00:26:25,530 --> 00:26:27,190
Something else happened there.

467
00:26:27,690 --> 00:26:30,210
We were planted, in verse 5, we were

468
00:26:30,210 --> 00:26:34,230
planted together in the likeness of his death.

469
00:26:34,950 --> 00:26:35,610
Hallelujah.

470
00:26:36,330 --> 00:26:39,730
A tremendous amount, even under the figure of

471
00:26:39,730 --> 00:26:40,250
baptism.

472
00:26:41,050 --> 00:26:43,750
Here, in Ephesians, it's under the figure of,

473
00:26:43,970 --> 00:26:45,930
I am Father's work.

474
00:26:46,770 --> 00:26:51,410
I have been wrought into Christ.

475
00:26:51,630 --> 00:26:53,870
I am in Christ.

476
00:26:54,810 --> 00:26:56,430
I have his spirit.

477
00:26:56,810 --> 00:26:59,270
I must have his nature.

478
00:26:59,990 --> 00:27:04,390
I have his, well, what can you say

479
00:27:04,390 --> 00:27:06,290
about the wonder of Christ?

480
00:27:07,010 --> 00:27:11,890
This is part of the great mystery, beloved.

481
00:27:12,570 --> 00:27:16,910
That God should do this great and wonderful

482
00:27:16,910 --> 00:27:18,130
work.

483
00:27:20,100 --> 00:27:25,320
Our consciousness should be more vividly in that

484
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,600
than in anything else.

485
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,120
Just before this meeting, I was talking with

486
00:27:31,120 --> 00:27:34,100
a brother, and we were talking about certain

487
00:27:34,100 --> 00:27:41,900
places on the earth, where the whole atmosphere

488
00:27:41,900 --> 00:27:45,480
is full of spirit.

489
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,440
I can tell you one place, Iona.

490
00:27:49,540 --> 00:27:53,040
He said, oh, I'll tell you another place,

491
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:53,900
Glastonbury.

492
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,620
Don't go there, but all the hippies, druggies

493
00:27:56,620 --> 00:27:58,400
drop out from way out there, go to

494
00:27:58,400 --> 00:27:58,560
Glastonbury.

495
00:27:58,600 --> 00:27:59,180
You know why?

496
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,520
Because it's thin there, the relationship is different,

497
00:28:02,980 --> 00:28:03,800
say, from Exeter.

498
00:28:04,980 --> 00:28:05,640
Did you know that?

499
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,520
And they're more sensitive to it, perhaps, than

500
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:07,980
we are.

501
00:28:10,300 --> 00:28:14,460
Because they attune themselves to spirit.

502
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,160
Wrong to say, of course, but that's the

503
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:19,640
fact.

504
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,480
And you and I have got to be

505
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,920
attuned to the Holy Spirit.

506
00:28:29,130 --> 00:28:32,390
We've got to think in this realm.

507
00:28:36,780 --> 00:28:39,640
You see, some people, like some people who

508
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,840
say, well, he's practical, he thought down to

509
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,200
earth, and it's nice of him, you see.

510
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,120
Generally, it's because their mind is not attuned

511
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,580
to things of spirit, generally.

512
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:50,640
Then, every time.

513
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,260
They like the sort of down to earth

514
00:28:53,260 --> 00:28:56,140
thing, the nice little things about daily living,

515
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,440
and whether you should divorce and remarry, or

516
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,580
whether you should do this, or whether you

517
00:29:01,580 --> 00:29:03,040
should do that, or whether you should do

518
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,380
the other, and all those nice things, very

519
00:29:05,380 --> 00:29:07,820
natural, you see, very down to earth, good

520
00:29:07,820 --> 00:29:08,620
to understand.

521
00:29:11,180 --> 00:29:12,980
And then you get the wrong element.

522
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,500
You get the, excuse me, I'm not, of

523
00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:18,740
course, it's quite embarrassing, you get the Catholic

524
00:29:18,740 --> 00:29:19,240
element.

525
00:29:19,940 --> 00:29:21,500
They say, shut yourself up in a monastery,

526
00:29:21,660 --> 00:29:23,660
shut yourself up in a convent, and what

527
00:29:23,660 --> 00:29:24,420
do they do there?

528
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,600
What happens in every exclusive thing?

529
00:29:26,900 --> 00:29:28,720
They get attuned to things of the spirit,

530
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:29,760
that's the wrong spirit.

531
00:29:35,630 --> 00:29:39,990
And they can appear very holy people, and

532
00:29:39,990 --> 00:29:40,490
so on.

533
00:29:41,830 --> 00:29:44,270
You and I, beloved, I live right out

534
00:29:44,270 --> 00:29:50,810
here in the everyday, and we're attuned to

535
00:29:50,810 --> 00:29:52,790
the spirit, like Jesus.

536
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,960
Let me warn you once more, I don't

537
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:02,500
want to bit over labour this, I don't

538
00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:03,840
mean you've got to be so fortunate you

539
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,040
can see devils everywhere.

540
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,260
You're attuned to the wrong spirit, if you

541
00:30:07,260 --> 00:30:08,600
like that, that's just what I'm trying to

542
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:09,000
say.

543
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:10,680
You're always very spiritual.

544
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,060
You saw it on the bus, you saw

545
00:30:13,060 --> 00:30:14,600
it over in that corner, you saw it,

546
00:30:14,620 --> 00:30:18,020
did you think that, in the market, and

547
00:30:18,020 --> 00:30:22,800
all this business, you see, you're attuned to

548
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:23,960
the wrong spirit.

549
00:30:25,220 --> 00:30:31,120
Altogether, to be attuned to the Lord.

550
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,900
Hallelujah, what a marvellous thing it is.

551
00:30:38,500 --> 00:30:40,580
That's why I say, I pray God, the

552
00:30:40,580 --> 00:30:44,560
whole spirit, soul and body should be sanctified.

553
00:30:44,740 --> 00:30:48,140
That's the way the Lord speaks.

554
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:50,960
Amen.

555
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,380
And here I am then, in this occasion,

556
00:30:54,960 --> 00:31:04,630
glorious letter, this one great baptism.

557
00:31:07,370 --> 00:31:07,970
Amen.

558
00:31:10,300 --> 00:31:14,960
You will understand, I'm sure, beloved, if you

559
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:19,600
turn with me into the Corinthian letter, that

560
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,400
if this, in the Ephesians, be that great

561
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:30,840
one baptism, and I am in chapter 12,

562
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:39,480
we read this, verse 12, as the body

563
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:44,840
is one, and has many members, and all

564
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:51,710
the members of that body are one body,

565
00:31:52,470 --> 00:31:56,050
being many, that's how Christ is.

566
00:31:56,850 --> 00:31:57,690
That is Christ.

567
00:32:00,820 --> 00:32:01,160
Amen.

568
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,620
For by one spirit are we all baptized

569
00:32:05,620 --> 00:32:10,420
in the one body.

570
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,460
That must be the one baptism.

571
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:16,180
Must be.

572
00:32:18,020 --> 00:32:21,600
In one spirit are we all baptized.

573
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,220
I put in there, because that's the Greek

574
00:32:24,940 --> 00:32:25,620
preposition.

575
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:33,480
In one spirit are we all baptized into

576
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:38,440
that one body, and we are made members

577
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,540
of that body at that time.

578
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:46,040
Hallelujah.

579
00:32:49,350 --> 00:32:52,110
I have always found it a great difficulty

580
00:32:52,110 --> 00:32:54,210
to believe that you should believe there's one

581
00:32:54,210 --> 00:32:57,350
God, one Lord, one faith, one everything, but

582
00:32:57,350 --> 00:32:58,690
when it comes to baptism, there's at least

583
00:32:58,690 --> 00:32:59,050
three.

584
00:32:59,850 --> 00:33:01,010
Do you see that?

585
00:33:02,130 --> 00:33:03,370
There's one baptism.

586
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:06,760
Unless you've got to say there are three

587
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,180
Lords, you could say four, five, six, where

588
00:33:09,180 --> 00:33:09,800
are you going to end?

589
00:33:13,140 --> 00:33:18,340
There's one, one, and only one.

590
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:20,900
Glory be to God.

591
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,480
I think all the scientists in the world,

592
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:30,600
a few, we'll say perhaps two generations ago,

593
00:33:31,580 --> 00:33:35,760
well, one anyway, were staggered when a man

594
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,100
named Einstein came up with the thesis that

595
00:33:38,100 --> 00:33:38,800
there's only one.

596
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,440
We don't believe that.

597
00:33:44,450 --> 00:33:45,010
Relativity.

598
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,560
All can be resolved on one.

599
00:33:51,850 --> 00:33:54,150
That should have shouted to the church if

600
00:33:54,150 --> 00:33:56,590
they only had ears to hear it.

601
00:33:57,110 --> 00:33:58,670
In other words, God said, I'll break it

602
00:33:58,670 --> 00:33:59,730
into the universe.

603
00:34:02,150 --> 00:34:03,550
There's only one.

604
00:34:05,070 --> 00:34:07,469
But everybody could have demonstrated it a hundred

605
00:34:07,469 --> 00:34:08,270
other things.

606
00:34:08,830 --> 00:34:10,630
But here came a man with a brain

607
00:34:10,630 --> 00:34:15,469
big enough to say, no, no, it's only

608
00:34:15,469 --> 00:34:16,170
one.

609
00:34:18,429 --> 00:34:20,050
Glory be to the name of the Lord.

610
00:34:20,070 --> 00:34:21,889
And of course, you know that the idea

611
00:34:21,889 --> 00:34:26,120
of atomic fissure is built on that, and

612
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,500
all these troubles about war.

613
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:32,780
It's all built on Einstein's initial revelation.

614
00:34:35,210 --> 00:34:39,389
Because I think it was a revelation, personally.

615
00:34:41,530 --> 00:34:44,090
It's an amazing thing that most of the

616
00:34:44,090 --> 00:34:47,190
great discoveries really, in the end, are revelations.

617
00:34:47,630 --> 00:34:49,030
They follow a lot of certain, and then

618
00:34:49,030 --> 00:34:51,090
all of a sudden, oh, that's what I

619
00:34:51,090 --> 00:34:51,630
do in Scripture.

620
00:34:52,030 --> 00:34:52,889
I follow all of a sudden, and I

621
00:34:52,889 --> 00:34:56,670
go, oh, yeah, yes, that's right, this is

622
00:34:56,670 --> 00:34:57,650
the logical end.

623
00:35:01,460 --> 00:35:05,440
In other words, beloved, because God made us,

624
00:35:05,620 --> 00:35:06,860
now this is related to some of the

625
00:35:06,860 --> 00:35:08,240
things I'm going to say tonight, I hope.

626
00:35:08,700 --> 00:35:12,400
Because God made us, it must work out

627
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:17,180
on the pattern, on God's pattern, whether we're

628
00:35:17,180 --> 00:35:19,340
simple or whether we're righteous.

629
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:25,060
We can't alter the laws of these things.

630
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:26,380
Nobody can.

631
00:35:28,930 --> 00:35:31,530
They can pervert them and go wrong ends.

632
00:35:32,770 --> 00:35:35,210
They understand the laws and use them for

633
00:35:35,210 --> 00:35:41,250
their own purposes, as, for instance, making strong

634
00:35:41,250 --> 00:35:44,970
drink from potatoes, you see.

635
00:35:46,310 --> 00:35:46,930
That's right.

636
00:35:47,930 --> 00:35:48,770
Just potatoes.

637
00:35:53,230 --> 00:35:54,770
It's a simple thing.

638
00:35:55,450 --> 00:35:57,410
But you and I have got to see

639
00:35:57,410 --> 00:35:57,790
this.

640
00:35:58,990 --> 00:36:05,850
We are baptized into one body.

641
00:36:06,570 --> 00:36:09,650
Now, you will understand, I've said this before.

642
00:36:10,490 --> 00:36:12,570
He starts off the chapter by saying, now

643
00:36:12,570 --> 00:36:15,610
concerning the spiritual, I pointed out that he

644
00:36:15,610 --> 00:36:17,110
will have the word gift there, which is

645
00:36:17,110 --> 00:36:17,910
there in the Greek.

646
00:36:18,910 --> 00:36:22,470
And he just sort of mentions the gift.

647
00:36:23,150 --> 00:36:27,110
But he then immediately passes on to the

648
00:36:27,110 --> 00:36:27,490
body.

649
00:36:27,750 --> 00:36:32,190
There is nothing more spiritual in this world

650
00:36:32,190 --> 00:36:35,350
than the body of Jesus Christ.

651
00:36:36,630 --> 00:36:37,350
That's why.

652
00:36:37,690 --> 00:36:39,410
That's why he says, yeah, the gift's there,

653
00:36:39,570 --> 00:36:40,950
but look, I'm not talking about the gift,

654
00:36:40,950 --> 00:36:42,110
I'm talking about the body.

655
00:36:42,870 --> 00:36:48,470
That's the greatest spiritual thing in this world,

656
00:36:48,670 --> 00:36:51,170
my beloved, the body of Jesus Christ.

657
00:36:52,230 --> 00:36:52,750
Amen.

658
00:36:54,550 --> 00:36:56,450
That's why he takes it this way.

659
00:36:56,670 --> 00:36:58,990
You're baptized into it.

660
00:36:59,730 --> 00:37:04,750
I want the enormity of it to hold

661
00:37:04,750 --> 00:37:08,150
my heart and mind in one.

662
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,080
I want to move in it.

663
00:37:15,020 --> 00:37:22,410
As a universe, glory be to the name

664
00:37:22,410 --> 00:37:22,890
of the Lord.

665
00:37:22,970 --> 00:37:25,410
The very fact that I use universe shows

666
00:37:25,410 --> 00:37:26,450
that it's only one.

667
00:37:26,890 --> 00:37:31,270
Earth, heaven, God, sun, seas.

668
00:37:33,310 --> 00:37:34,590
Wonderful, isn't it?

669
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,380
And that's what God wants us to see.

670
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,440
If only we can come into this great

671
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:53,310
understanding, he will calm so much, there's become

672
00:37:53,310 --> 00:37:57,390
frenetic energy almost, in the lives of some

673
00:37:57,390 --> 00:37:57,870
people.

674
00:38:03,500 --> 00:38:07,340
Do you not see, beloved, this is the

675
00:38:07,340 --> 00:38:10,340
only way that you can come into Christ?

676
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,360
Then he used two illustrations.

677
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:17,900
One in this same cleansing letter, which you

678
00:38:17,900 --> 00:38:20,380
can keep your finger in, chapter 10 especially,

679
00:38:20,980 --> 00:38:23,040
and the other in Peter.

680
00:38:26,170 --> 00:38:30,310
Now, I suppose you, like I have, read

681
00:38:30,310 --> 00:38:34,330
this epistle at times and thought, well, I

682
00:38:34,330 --> 00:38:37,910
just don't understand all there is about this.

683
00:38:38,690 --> 00:38:40,950
But whether or not we understand it, here

684
00:38:40,950 --> 00:38:41,550
it is.

685
00:38:42,870 --> 00:38:46,010
Christ, in the end of chapter 3 of

686
00:38:46,010 --> 00:38:50,390
1 Peter, once suffered for sins.

687
00:38:51,930 --> 00:38:55,370
The just for the unjust, that he might

688
00:38:55,370 --> 00:38:59,650
bring us to God, being put to death

689
00:38:59,650 --> 00:39:04,430
in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.

690
00:39:06,690 --> 00:39:10,750
Quickened, you know, means given life by the

691
00:39:10,750 --> 00:39:11,950
Spirit, same word.

692
00:39:12,410 --> 00:39:16,050
By which also he went and preached unto

693
00:39:16,050 --> 00:39:23,290
the Spirit in prison, which sometimes were disobedient

694
00:39:23,290 --> 00:39:26,330
when once the long suffering of God waited

695
00:39:26,330 --> 00:39:29,630
in the days of Noah, while the ark

696
00:39:29,630 --> 00:39:34,170
was a-preparing, bearing two, that is, eight

697
00:39:34,170 --> 00:39:37,910
souls were saved by water.

698
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:41,440
All right.

699
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:43,680
Now, if you'd like me to connect the

700
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,100
water with water baptism.

701
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:46,880
All right, let's go on.

702
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,820
In antitype, that's the Greek of verse 21,

703
00:39:54,020 --> 00:39:59,770
baptism doth also now save us, not the

704
00:39:59,770 --> 00:40:01,190
putting away of the filth of the flesh,

705
00:40:01,190 --> 00:40:03,710
because you know that is exactly what God

706
00:40:03,710 --> 00:40:05,350
did in the flood.

707
00:40:05,610 --> 00:40:07,350
He put the filth of the flesh away.

708
00:40:08,010 --> 00:40:11,610
He saw that the whole earth, all flesh,

709
00:40:11,730 --> 00:40:13,450
was corrupt before him.

710
00:40:13,490 --> 00:40:14,730
That's why he drowned it out.

711
00:40:16,250 --> 00:40:18,490
I made one of his suggestions about that,

712
00:40:18,990 --> 00:40:21,770
the other night, reasons for it, and so

713
00:40:21,770 --> 00:40:21,970
on.

714
00:40:22,150 --> 00:40:23,930
I suppose you've done so too.

715
00:40:24,890 --> 00:40:26,190
Might have been the other day.

716
00:40:26,730 --> 00:40:28,910
And he says, the art of a good

717
00:40:28,910 --> 00:40:35,250
conscience towards God, by the resurrection of Jesus

718
00:40:35,250 --> 00:40:35,970
Christ.

719
00:40:37,330 --> 00:40:43,070
Now, I hope you understand that these eight

720
00:40:43,070 --> 00:40:45,890
souls were saved by water.

721
00:40:47,150 --> 00:40:48,270
That's what it says.

722
00:40:49,230 --> 00:40:51,730
Well, you know what happened when the ark

723
00:40:51,730 --> 00:40:52,510
was finished.

724
00:40:53,230 --> 00:40:55,790
They had, as far as the figure can

725
00:40:55,790 --> 00:40:59,150
show, they were baptised into Christ, the ark.

726
00:41:00,190 --> 00:41:02,470
God put them in there and slammed the

727
00:41:02,470 --> 00:41:04,370
door shut, and that was it.

728
00:41:04,750 --> 00:41:10,510
And there they were in Christ, baptising, floating

729
00:41:10,510 --> 00:41:11,930
on the water.

730
00:41:12,950 --> 00:41:14,370
I think it's a good thing to show

731
00:41:14,370 --> 00:41:16,090
us it isn't what takes place in the

732
00:41:16,090 --> 00:41:18,310
water, but how we float on it.

733
00:41:18,490 --> 00:41:21,290
If you may excuse my figure.

734
00:41:21,830 --> 00:41:24,230
What really is being done?

735
00:41:24,690 --> 00:41:27,490
It isn't the water, but see this ark

736
00:41:27,490 --> 00:41:27,870
on it.

737
00:41:27,970 --> 00:41:29,430
That's what I want you to see.

738
00:41:30,190 --> 00:41:31,990
Drown everything else out.

739
00:41:32,770 --> 00:41:34,590
Don't let anything else be seen.

740
00:41:35,190 --> 00:41:36,650
Just the ark.

741
00:41:37,030 --> 00:41:38,470
That's all it was to be seen.

742
00:41:38,730 --> 00:41:39,630
Even the mountains.

743
00:41:42,020 --> 00:41:42,860
What happened?

744
00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:45,720
Oh, they've been baptised into the ark.

745
00:41:45,860 --> 00:41:47,240
You say, well, I've never heard that said

746
00:41:47,240 --> 00:41:47,600
before.

747
00:41:48,020 --> 00:41:48,660
Consider it.

748
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:51,620
That's right.

749
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,360
The water was under them, over them, running

750
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:55,040
off the roof.

751
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,060
I don't know what was happening, you see.

752
00:41:58,360 --> 00:41:59,480
There they were.

753
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:05,480
Now, keeping that figure in mind, we'll go

754
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,200
back to 1 Corinthians 10.

755
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:12,160
And in this chapter, we read these great

756
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:12,640
words.

757
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:17,740
Verse 1, Brethren, I would not that you

758
00:42:17,740 --> 00:42:22,180
should be ignorant, how that all our fathers

759
00:42:22,180 --> 00:42:26,580
were under the clouds, and all passed through

760
00:42:26,580 --> 00:42:31,700
the sea, and were all baptised unto Moses

761
00:42:31,700 --> 00:42:35,320
in the clouds and in the sea.

762
00:42:37,830 --> 00:42:38,670
Alleluia.

763
00:42:40,770 --> 00:42:44,730
So, the first people that knew, shall we

764
00:42:44,730 --> 00:42:49,190
say, complete salvation, that is, the whole family

765
00:42:49,190 --> 00:42:53,210
of Noah, notice that, were baptised into the

766
00:42:53,210 --> 00:42:53,630
ark.

767
00:42:54,750 --> 00:42:59,070
The whole family, or house of Israel, as

768
00:42:59,070 --> 00:43:03,810
a complete whole, knew baptism in the ark,

769
00:43:03,910 --> 00:43:06,930
in the clouds, in the sea, they knew

770
00:43:06,930 --> 00:43:08,210
baptism unto Moses.

771
00:43:09,290 --> 00:43:12,510
And I want to show you that, very

772
00:43:12,510 --> 00:43:17,050
carefully, God made clear that though they were

773
00:43:17,050 --> 00:43:20,070
both by water, here there's a development of

774
00:43:20,070 --> 00:43:22,450
the truth, none of them got wet, at

775
00:43:22,450 --> 00:43:22,730
first.

776
00:43:26,860 --> 00:43:27,800
None of them got wet.

777
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,180
In fact, when they crossed the Red Sea,

778
00:43:33,530 --> 00:43:35,730
they hadn't even got any dirt on their

779
00:43:35,730 --> 00:43:36,250
sandals.

780
00:43:36,850 --> 00:43:38,950
That was a marvellous thing.

781
00:43:39,350 --> 00:43:42,810
Not a trace of water I would have

782
00:43:42,810 --> 00:43:46,210
you see, not even the mud, or the

783
00:43:46,210 --> 00:43:48,090
sediments of it, nothing.

784
00:43:52,330 --> 00:43:57,490
And here's the picture of spiritual baptism.

785
00:43:58,870 --> 00:43:59,590
Amen.

786
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,750
The one great baptism.

787
00:44:05,310 --> 00:44:07,750
Or you might say, catch the children as

788
00:44:07,750 --> 00:44:10,150
well, get a little damp, passing through that

789
00:44:10,150 --> 00:44:12,630
scotch mist in the sea, if you notice

790
00:44:12,630 --> 00:44:13,750
that sort of cloud.

791
00:44:14,270 --> 00:44:16,990
Well, amen.

792
00:44:18,330 --> 00:44:19,530
That's how it happened.

793
00:44:23,310 --> 00:44:23,890
All right.

794
00:44:24,370 --> 00:44:28,750
So now, my emphasis comes off water baptism.

795
00:44:29,630 --> 00:44:31,530
Well, don't you believe in water baptism anymore?

796
00:44:31,630 --> 00:44:32,490
Yes, of course I do.

797
00:44:33,590 --> 00:44:37,430
But in my thinking and understanding, my emphasis

798
00:44:37,430 --> 00:44:38,530
comes off that.

799
00:44:39,810 --> 00:44:47,310
I see that I am included into Christ.

800
00:44:47,610 --> 00:44:51,490
I see that I am baptized into him.

801
00:44:51,910 --> 00:44:54,810
And did you notice the very way that

802
00:44:54,810 --> 00:44:58,030
verse was constructed in chapter 10?

803
00:44:58,610 --> 00:45:01,670
They were baptized unto Moses, okay?

804
00:45:02,530 --> 00:45:04,690
But I want you to see Moses in

805
00:45:04,690 --> 00:45:05,310
the cloud.

806
00:45:06,950 --> 00:45:09,170
Surely that's not the way to read it,

807
00:45:09,350 --> 00:45:10,970
but that's the suggestion.

808
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,240
They were baptized unto Moses in the cloud

809
00:45:17,240 --> 00:45:18,300
and in the sea.

810
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:21,360
Hallelujah.

811
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,360
Now, if when you went through water baptism,

812
00:45:25,860 --> 00:45:28,920
you weren't baptized, shall we say, in the

813
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,000
cloud and in the sea.

814
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:35,250
Then there was further for you to know.

815
00:45:37,860 --> 00:45:38,740
Very much so.

816
00:45:40,650 --> 00:45:42,790
Something further for you to know.

817
00:45:44,190 --> 00:45:46,550
What a marvellous truth it is for our

818
00:45:46,550 --> 00:45:46,790
days.

819
00:45:48,470 --> 00:45:49,030
Amen.

820
00:45:52,060 --> 00:45:53,760
You see, but you see, they had a

821
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:55,260
second baptism, didn't they?

822
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:59,600
When they went through Jordan, you see.

823
00:46:00,460 --> 00:46:01,700
No, they didn't.

824
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,320
For all that generation of men were slain

825
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:06,940
in the wilderness.

826
00:46:07,540 --> 00:46:08,940
God made sure they didn't have a second.

827
00:46:11,710 --> 00:46:13,070
He killed them all off.

828
00:46:13,810 --> 00:46:14,770
We know why.

829
00:46:16,090 --> 00:46:16,870
But he did.

830
00:46:17,270 --> 00:46:20,050
But it made safe that they weren't baptized

831
00:46:20,050 --> 00:46:20,630
twice.

832
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,320
And when some of them, some of the

833
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,740
ladies, and perhaps some that were too young,

834
00:46:28,860 --> 00:46:34,260
had been responsible men and women in the

835
00:46:34,260 --> 00:46:39,580
days, in the wilderness, even they didn't have

836
00:46:39,580 --> 00:46:41,640
a second experience like the first.

837
00:46:42,420 --> 00:46:46,220
For in the first, you will remember, they

838
00:46:46,220 --> 00:46:49,740
were baptized unto Moses in the cloud and

839
00:46:49,740 --> 00:46:50,360
in the sea.

840
00:46:51,220 --> 00:46:56,760
But when they went through Jordan, they were

841
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,860
not baptized in the cloud.

842
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,260
They never had a second baptism in the

843
00:47:01,260 --> 00:47:03,860
Spirit, taking the Spirit, that is Christ after

844
00:47:03,860 --> 00:47:06,360
the Spirit, in the cloud.

845
00:47:06,660 --> 00:47:07,960
Christ is the title.

846
00:47:08,140 --> 00:47:09,360
The cloud is Christ of Christ.

847
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,280
They never went through the cloud because by

848
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,820
that time the ark had been laid, the

849
00:47:14,820 --> 00:47:16,520
ark of the covenant, and the cloud abode

850
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,540
upon that, in the centre.

851
00:47:21,330 --> 00:47:21,790
All right.

852
00:47:23,780 --> 00:47:26,860
Coming out of Egypt, they were led by

853
00:47:26,860 --> 00:47:27,440
the cloud.

854
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,240
There was no ark for it to abide

855
00:47:29,240 --> 00:47:29,500
on.

856
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,640
It was their guide, it was their everything,

857
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:36,960
their foretellers, their known, who went and stood

858
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,500
behind them at one period, and so on

859
00:47:39,500 --> 00:47:40,100
and so on.

860
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,340
And they went into the promised land.

861
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:53,420
And so God wants us to understand these

862
00:47:53,420 --> 00:47:55,240
great and marvellous things.

863
00:47:55,380 --> 00:47:58,400
In other words, was it the one generation,

864
00:47:58,580 --> 00:48:01,360
that generation which failed, and you know, I'm

865
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:03,840
sorry ladies, but he counted the generations by

866
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:04,280
the men.

867
00:48:04,500 --> 00:48:06,400
I apologize to you.

868
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,720
I sometimes wish I was a lady, you're

869
00:48:08,720 --> 00:48:09,200
so nice.

870
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:13,980
But he counted it by the men, he

871
00:48:13,980 --> 00:48:14,160
said.

872
00:48:14,300 --> 00:48:17,600
And the second generation had to go through

873
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:23,320
a baptism too, saying one practically.

874
00:48:24,140 --> 00:48:26,460
And here then, beloved, it's for you to

875
00:48:26,460 --> 00:48:32,560
see very clearly, that they were saved by

876
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,020
baptism, just like it says in Peter.

877
00:48:37,240 --> 00:48:39,400
Those eight girls were saved by baptism.

878
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:42,500
It's included that they were saved by the

879
00:48:42,500 --> 00:48:44,680
redemption through the blood of the lambs.

880
00:48:45,660 --> 00:48:46,320
So they were.

881
00:48:47,420 --> 00:48:50,780
They were saved from the curse of God

882
00:48:50,780 --> 00:48:54,240
by that, but they were saved from Pharaoh

883
00:48:54,240 --> 00:48:56,060
by going to the sea.

884
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:57,520
That's where their salvation was.

885
00:48:57,860 --> 00:48:59,960
It wouldn't have been any good them being

886
00:48:59,960 --> 00:49:03,420
saved from death in the land, if they

887
00:49:03,420 --> 00:49:06,200
had been captured, recaptured, if you want to

888
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:07,740
put the word, by Pharaoh.

889
00:49:08,020 --> 00:49:10,780
They were saved by baptism.

890
00:49:16,230 --> 00:49:18,630
And people that thought water baptism was it,

891
00:49:18,650 --> 00:49:19,330
all got drowned.

892
00:49:19,450 --> 00:49:20,410
They got drowned in the sea.

893
00:49:20,710 --> 00:49:21,350
Like the fish.

894
00:49:22,550 --> 00:49:24,270
I have a good laugh.

895
00:49:24,570 --> 00:49:26,130
I've got a marvellous sense of humour.

896
00:49:26,230 --> 00:49:26,970
A real fine speech.

897
00:49:27,890 --> 00:49:30,630
But these people that had been redeemed by

898
00:49:30,630 --> 00:49:32,890
the blood, they sailed happily.

899
00:49:33,090 --> 00:49:34,110
Do you know what I mean by sailed?

900
00:49:34,110 --> 00:49:36,050
Oh, hallelujah.

901
00:49:36,710 --> 00:49:37,390
They were alright.

902
00:49:38,750 --> 00:49:40,610
They were saved by baptism.

903
00:49:42,490 --> 00:49:44,230
How many of you dare preach that in

904
00:49:44,230 --> 00:49:44,930
your congregation?

905
00:49:47,110 --> 00:49:48,210
It's the truth.

906
00:49:49,530 --> 00:49:52,150
They were redeemed by the blood and saved

907
00:49:52,150 --> 00:49:52,950
by the baptism.

908
00:49:55,650 --> 00:49:56,190
Weren't they?

909
00:49:57,170 --> 00:49:57,730
Go on.

910
00:49:58,230 --> 00:49:59,370
Dare to believe it.

911
00:50:00,490 --> 00:50:02,290
Right, I heard somebody told a story.

912
00:50:02,630 --> 00:50:04,250
Laugh and get it over with sort of

913
00:50:04,250 --> 00:50:04,390
thing.

914
00:50:04,450 --> 00:50:05,110
I've done with it.

915
00:50:05,650 --> 00:50:06,930
You know, take the plunge.

916
00:50:07,030 --> 00:50:07,830
Really do it.

917
00:50:08,510 --> 00:50:13,070
Here's the thing to get through.

918
00:50:13,370 --> 00:50:15,130
Oh, this can't fit in my box.

919
00:50:15,390 --> 00:50:18,530
No, it didn't fit in mine.

920
00:50:19,090 --> 00:50:20,830
I had to shake three from all that.

921
00:50:21,890 --> 00:50:25,470
I said, oh God, I was ready for

922
00:50:25,470 --> 00:50:27,770
in a state of something to see truth

923
00:50:27,770 --> 00:50:28,990
as it is.

924
00:50:29,310 --> 00:50:30,230
In Christian.

925
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,300
Did you know that evangelical bronze would be

926
00:50:34,300 --> 00:50:36,940
slated to you as though you were locked

927
00:50:36,940 --> 00:50:37,940
up in a convent?

928
00:50:39,180 --> 00:50:40,340
Under a false religion.

929
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:41,260
Did you know that?

930
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,220
Isn't it wonderful when the Lord liberates the

931
00:50:46,220 --> 00:50:49,000
spirit and you can go and nobody's going

932
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:49,920
to hold on you?

933
00:50:50,540 --> 00:50:51,140
Amen.

934
00:50:53,580 --> 00:50:55,820
Height, depth, length, breadth.

935
00:50:57,700 --> 00:51:00,700
Of course, we pick up things from him

936
00:51:00,700 --> 00:51:03,060
or her or this one, that one as

937
00:51:03,060 --> 00:51:03,740
we go through.

938
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:07,740
Nobody is original in all their thought patterns.

939
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:09,120
Cannot be.

940
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,400
But what a wonderful thing it is.

941
00:51:13,180 --> 00:51:15,040
That only shows us how much we need

942
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:15,660
one another.

943
00:51:18,340 --> 00:51:24,560
And the Lord is moving us on and

944
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,700
on and on.

945
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:31,960
Saved by the blood of the Lamb.

946
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:32,320
Amen.

947
00:51:33,820 --> 00:51:35,120
Saved by this.

948
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:36,680
Saved by that.

949
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:37,460
That's right.

950
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,900
But don't leave saved by baptism out.

951
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,080
Unless you're nearly sure that it gets the

952
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:46,020
doctrine wrong.

953
00:51:49,780 --> 00:51:53,860
Baptized into Christ.

954
00:51:55,040 --> 00:52:00,120
Into the body of Christ.

955
00:52:02,260 --> 00:52:02,640
Amen.

956
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:10,040
And you know, beloved, in the beginning itself,

957
00:52:13,500 --> 00:52:17,990
in Peter again, you can get it, where

958
00:52:17,990 --> 00:52:25,350
Peter tells us that the earth standing in

959
00:52:25,350 --> 00:52:27,670
the water and out of the water.

960
00:52:27,770 --> 00:52:28,790
Do you remember reading that?

961
00:52:29,590 --> 00:52:30,250
That's right.

962
00:52:30,650 --> 00:52:32,550
Because in the beginning everything was water.

963
00:52:34,250 --> 00:52:39,470
Now I don't know your theories about creation.

964
00:52:40,950 --> 00:52:43,570
And I can quite see where people get

965
00:52:43,570 --> 00:52:44,550
the gaps here.

966
00:52:44,550 --> 00:52:47,130
It's in Genesis chapter 1.

967
00:52:47,490 --> 00:52:48,910
I can see where they get it.

968
00:52:49,950 --> 00:52:54,190
Because the earth was there under the water.

969
00:52:55,510 --> 00:52:56,990
Meaning in the beginning it wasn't the sea

970
00:52:56,990 --> 00:52:58,250
suspended on nothing.

971
00:53:00,090 --> 00:53:01,310
The earth was there.

972
00:53:01,430 --> 00:53:02,450
Because he called it up.

973
00:53:02,990 --> 00:53:05,290
He says, let the dry land appear.

974
00:53:05,770 --> 00:53:06,490
It didn't create it.

975
00:53:08,780 --> 00:53:09,860
Not at that juncture.

976
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,860
And it came up out of the water.

977
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:17,800
Hallelujah.

978
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:19,960
Now that's how it all began.

979
00:53:20,900 --> 00:53:23,800
The substance, let's just call it, came up

980
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:24,580
out of the water.

981
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:27,800
You and I couldn't have lived on the

982
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:28,120
sea.

983
00:53:29,740 --> 00:53:31,960
Although we're supposed to come from something down

984
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:33,420
the bottom of the ocean originally.

985
00:53:33,780 --> 00:53:35,200
Well, that's my theory.

986
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,000
I somehow, these ears have had to take

987
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:45,260
the place of gills I reckon.

988
00:53:45,380 --> 00:53:47,080
I don't know, according to their theories.

989
00:53:47,220 --> 00:53:48,320
I hope I don't look a bit like

990
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:48,480
that.

991
00:53:48,620 --> 00:53:49,620
It sounds fishy to me.

992
00:53:51,720 --> 00:53:55,300
Here is the whole glorious thing that I

993
00:53:55,300 --> 00:53:55,440
mean.

994
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:59,580
It's just an attempt to get something to

995
00:53:59,580 --> 00:54:01,880
put their feet on without God.

996
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:05,240
I've got to have something to explain something.

997
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,440
Because somebody's going to start asking questions.

998
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:10,180
You see.

999
00:54:10,820 --> 00:54:13,280
What a marvellous thing it is.

1000
00:54:13,580 --> 00:54:15,560
I'm not saying I believe in the gap

1001
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:15,900
theory.

1002
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:18,780
But I can quite see that there's a

1003
00:54:18,780 --> 00:54:19,220
possibility.

1004
00:54:21,550 --> 00:54:22,490
There's a possibility.

1005
00:54:22,710 --> 00:54:24,150
That's the trouble with the Bible.

1006
00:54:25,170 --> 00:54:28,990
You know, it permits for so many theories

1007
00:54:28,990 --> 00:54:29,850
being constructed.

1008
00:54:32,210 --> 00:54:34,150
We say, who's going to get the right

1009
00:54:34,150 --> 00:54:34,330
thing?

1010
00:54:34,410 --> 00:54:35,590
Only the spiritually minded.

1011
00:54:35,950 --> 00:54:37,250
Do you think you're the only spiritually minded?

1012
00:54:37,470 --> 00:54:38,330
No, I don't.

1013
00:54:41,450 --> 00:54:42,810
But I do know this.

1014
00:54:43,890 --> 00:54:46,130
That if you want to know and have

1015
00:54:46,130 --> 00:54:49,710
understanding, you get the spirit, not education.

1016
00:54:54,180 --> 00:54:56,500
If you think the answer lies in university,

1017
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,360
I want to tell you, you're more likely

1018
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,120
to come out of university a twisted, perverted

1019
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:08,260
person in body, sex, and mind, than perhaps

1020
00:55:08,260 --> 00:55:12,140
being dragged up somewhere and never a chance

1021
00:55:12,140 --> 00:55:13,000
of getting there.

1022
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:13,840
More likely.

1023
00:55:16,500 --> 00:55:18,100
That is my observation.

1024
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:25,200
What a tremendous thing it is to know

1025
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:26,900
the glorious truth.

1026
00:55:32,340 --> 00:55:34,820
And this, of course, is why, in the

1027
00:55:34,820 --> 00:55:42,080
end, God dispenses with water, except the pure

1028
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:44,220
water of the river of life.

1029
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:46,940
You say, there's no more seas.

1030
00:55:47,420 --> 00:55:47,780
Why?

1031
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:48,980
Because there's not going to be any more

1032
00:55:48,980 --> 00:55:49,360
baptism.

1033
00:55:52,850 --> 00:55:54,750
They're all going to be in a new

1034
00:55:54,750 --> 00:55:55,250
creation.

1035
00:55:56,830 --> 00:55:58,050
Everything's going to be here.

1036
00:55:59,170 --> 00:55:59,610
Hallelujah.

1037
00:55:59,970 --> 00:56:01,150
No one wants to be anymore.

1038
00:56:01,790 --> 00:56:04,570
Whether you interpret it as the seas around

1039
00:56:04,570 --> 00:56:06,730
the shores, or whether you want to be

1040
00:56:06,730 --> 00:56:09,530
very spiritual and interpret it according to the

1041
00:56:09,530 --> 00:56:10,890
seas that follow.

1042
00:56:11,690 --> 00:56:13,030
There won't be any need for that.

1043
00:56:13,290 --> 00:56:15,170
They'll be born again then, so we can

1044
00:56:15,170 --> 00:56:17,270
do away with the labour of regeneration.

1045
00:56:18,110 --> 00:56:19,530
We can do away with the sea.

1046
00:56:19,610 --> 00:56:21,470
There's no more deliverance from Pharaoh.

1047
00:56:21,930 --> 00:56:24,610
There's no more floods from the calm.

1048
00:56:24,950 --> 00:56:25,050
Hallelujah.

1049
00:56:25,710 --> 00:56:26,650
Put that all away.

1050
00:56:26,790 --> 00:56:27,950
Do away with the sea.

1051
00:56:28,550 --> 00:56:28,990
It'd be lovely.

1052
00:56:29,130 --> 00:56:30,190
I'd be able to walk all over your

1053
00:56:30,190 --> 00:56:32,970
gardens, even if you live the other side

1054
00:56:32,970 --> 00:56:33,390
of the world.

1055
00:56:33,510 --> 00:56:34,130
You know what I mean?

1056
00:56:34,670 --> 00:56:35,990
Yes, that's tremendous.

1057
00:56:36,730 --> 00:56:38,890
And God won't say, now don't touch that

1058
00:56:38,890 --> 00:56:41,450
tree in the middle of the garden, because

1059
00:56:41,450 --> 00:56:42,870
there's only the tree of life there.

1060
00:56:42,970 --> 00:56:43,570
He won't say that.

1061
00:56:43,670 --> 00:56:45,650
It's gone when you get to the new

1062
00:56:45,650 --> 00:56:45,990
earth.

1063
00:56:46,070 --> 00:56:47,770
That tree of good and evil.

1064
00:56:50,350 --> 00:56:52,170
We're all learning about evil.

1065
00:56:52,370 --> 00:56:53,830
We've learned enough of that while we've been

1066
00:56:53,830 --> 00:56:54,310
on earth.

1067
00:56:56,430 --> 00:56:56,870
Amen.

1068
00:56:57,570 --> 00:56:59,630
And had it washed out of our fibre,

1069
00:57:00,770 --> 00:57:03,210
glory be to God, we'd have been born

1070
00:57:03,210 --> 00:57:04,030
out of it.

1071
00:57:04,290 --> 00:57:05,130
Isn't that marvelous?

1072
00:57:05,970 --> 00:57:06,850
I can see that.

1073
00:57:06,850 --> 00:57:09,250
It totally makes common sense to me anyway.

1074
00:57:11,250 --> 00:57:14,650
And we move on.

1075
00:57:14,930 --> 00:57:18,850
So I want to ask you this question.

1076
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,180
Do you know this one baptism?

1077
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:29,200
Do you know it?

1078
00:57:33,590 --> 00:57:37,690
When I mean by know, I mean by

1079
00:57:37,690 --> 00:57:38,670
experience.

1080
00:57:38,950 --> 00:57:42,330
I know it by experience.

1081
00:57:43,130 --> 00:57:46,330
And you know, sometimes when I talk along

1082
00:57:46,330 --> 00:57:48,470
these lines of text, the history I say,

1083
00:57:48,730 --> 00:57:51,150
they're the subjects I talk on, I get

1084
00:57:51,150 --> 00:57:51,450
in it.

1085
00:57:51,510 --> 00:57:53,010
Now I can sort of feel I'm in

1086
00:57:53,010 --> 00:57:53,930
that body, you know?

1087
00:57:54,470 --> 00:57:55,290
I can.

1088
00:57:57,190 --> 00:57:59,350
I can feel I'm in that body.

1089
00:58:03,500 --> 00:58:03,940
Hallelujah.

1090
00:58:06,460 --> 00:58:09,180
Now you've got to know you're in it.

1091
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:12,960
In a very real way.

1092
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,380
I'm in this great body of love and

1093
00:58:17,380 --> 00:58:18,300
life.

1094
00:58:19,500 --> 00:58:24,980
Oh Lord, I've drunk in of your spirit.

1095
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:28,820
Amen.

1096
00:58:30,060 --> 00:58:32,160
Now I know I've drunk in that spirit,

1097
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:34,300
not because I had an experience where I

1098
00:58:34,300 --> 00:58:39,740
thought I was drunk, but because that's how

1099
00:58:39,740 --> 00:58:41,040
it's worked out in my life.

1100
00:58:41,780 --> 00:58:44,320
I found the spirit of Christ in me.

1101
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:49,540
That is, I could start to live, I

1102
00:58:49,540 --> 00:58:51,780
could start to act, I could start to

1103
00:58:51,780 --> 00:58:54,140
respond as Christ.

1104
00:58:55,540 --> 00:58:55,780
Yes.

1105
00:58:58,300 --> 00:58:58,680
Amen.

1106
00:59:00,740 --> 00:59:01,980
Have you found that?

1107
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:09,020
Beloved, that's what it's got to be.

1108
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:14,220
And although you may not have understood it

1109
00:59:14,220 --> 00:59:15,640
at all, it doesn't matter like that.

1110
00:59:16,940 --> 00:59:19,300
You must remember this in the Seeds of

1111
00:59:19,300 --> 00:59:26,120
God, that the spirit of man will not

1112
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:27,600
follow his mind.

1113
00:59:29,450 --> 00:59:32,670
I tried to do this, I tried to

1114
00:59:32,670 --> 00:59:33,090
do that.

1115
00:59:33,510 --> 00:59:35,730
There was law in me that wouldn't let

1116
00:59:35,730 --> 00:59:36,230
me do it.

1117
00:59:38,050 --> 00:59:38,510
Okay.

1118
00:59:38,510 --> 00:59:40,930
What happens is the mind must follow the

1119
00:59:40,930 --> 00:59:41,330
spirit.

1120
00:59:43,550 --> 00:59:45,610
If it could be done by the mind

1121
00:59:45,610 --> 00:59:46,970
you'd do your own thing.

1122
00:59:47,150 --> 00:59:48,630
So I thought it out, and when I

1123
00:59:48,630 --> 00:59:49,890
thought it out and saw that it was

1124
00:59:49,890 --> 00:59:51,530
all clear, I believed.

1125
00:59:51,890 --> 00:59:52,410
Did you?

1126
00:59:52,470 --> 00:59:54,070
Then you're your own savior, you're a wonderful

1127
00:59:54,070 --> 00:59:54,550
person.

1128
00:59:55,550 --> 00:59:57,890
What you do is abandon to God and

1129
00:59:57,890 --> 00:59:59,950
his nature of love and holiness.

1130
01:00:00,550 --> 01:00:02,990
Let him do it and then let your

1131
01:00:02,990 --> 01:00:04,310
mind catch up with it afterwards.

1132
01:00:04,570 --> 01:00:06,750
I can recommend this, this is my way,

1133
01:00:07,270 --> 01:00:08,190
if you have it.

1134
01:00:09,190 --> 01:00:11,410
It's good not to have enough brains to

1135
01:00:11,410 --> 01:00:12,090
think it out.

1136
01:00:13,430 --> 01:00:16,090
It's just good to let yourself go in

1137
01:00:16,090 --> 01:00:19,930
and then the spirit says, yeah, and then

1138
01:00:19,930 --> 01:00:24,050
the mind says, oh yeah, just like that.

1139
01:00:24,730 --> 01:00:26,210
That's how it goes.

1140
01:00:27,790 --> 01:00:33,410
And the Lord moves you on in these

1141
01:00:33,410 --> 01:00:35,170
great and glorious truths.

1142
01:00:38,660 --> 01:00:40,640
Have you been baptized with this one great

1143
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:40,960
baptism?

1144
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:44,360
Have you?

1145
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:48,660
Because when you're baptized with this baptism, beloved,

1146
01:00:49,540 --> 01:00:52,740
haha, you're baptized into his death, I find

1147
01:00:52,740 --> 01:00:53,760
that in Romans 6.

1148
01:01:00,900 --> 01:01:03,180
This is what the writer to the Ephesians

1149
01:01:03,180 --> 01:01:07,520
says, now listen, he says, and you hath

1150
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:13,300
he made alive or quickened who were dead

1151
01:01:13,300 --> 01:01:15,880
in trespasses and sins.

1152
01:01:16,260 --> 01:01:20,680
Now this is the strange miracle and mystery

1153
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:21,340
of God.

1154
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:26,360
He, if he wants to make you alive,

1155
01:01:27,020 --> 01:01:28,200
you know what he had to do?

1156
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:32,800
He had to take you dead and baptize

1157
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:33,500
you in death.

1158
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:38,540
Oh, my word, yes, I thought, I believe

1159
01:01:38,540 --> 01:01:39,240
I'm alive.

1160
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:43,840
Well, you were dead and he baptized you

1161
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:50,280
into death, a greater death, hallelujah, and he

1162
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:52,280
cleansed you into life.

1163
01:01:55,890 --> 01:01:56,430
That's the secret.

1164
01:01:57,470 --> 01:02:02,470
You are baptized into death, a death that

1165
01:02:02,470 --> 01:02:05,030
slays the death of sin.

1166
01:02:07,500 --> 01:02:08,480
Amen.

1167
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:14,580
The death of sin that made you unaware

1168
01:02:14,580 --> 01:02:22,050
of God, unresponsive to God, very aware of

1169
01:02:22,050 --> 01:02:26,370
self, sin, body, demands of appetite and so

1170
01:02:26,370 --> 01:02:30,200
on and so forth, but of God, no,

1171
01:02:32,870 --> 01:02:33,370
no.

1172
01:02:35,030 --> 01:02:47,620
Deliver, yes, aware of God, so

1173
01:02:47,620 --> 01:02:51,700
God takes you and he immerses you in

1174
01:02:51,700 --> 01:02:57,760
this great, great death, baptized into this death.

1175
01:02:58,820 --> 01:03:02,260
And through that death, Lord, there's been a

1176
01:03:02,260 --> 01:03:09,840
whole carnival of death, yeah, better than having

1177
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:11,980
liver and soup and ice cream for lunch.

1178
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:17,200
You, you, you, you, you're baptized into this,

1179
01:03:23,700 --> 01:03:26,260
amen, hallelujah.

1180
01:03:28,660 --> 01:03:30,780
I said the other day that I sometimes

1181
01:03:30,780 --> 01:03:32,880
wonder whether the old self is worse than

1182
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:33,680
old Adam, really.

1183
01:03:38,620 --> 01:03:45,700
Yes, my self, I am baptized into this

1184
01:03:45,700 --> 01:03:46,300
death.

1185
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:53,110
That's a glorious thing, amen.

1186
01:03:54,670 --> 01:03:56,150
And then you live the rest of your

1187
01:03:56,150 --> 01:04:00,980
days crucified, you know that, there's something told

1188
01:04:00,980 --> 01:04:02,640
to you, you were heir to the throne

1189
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:04,340
or whatever it was, there's a book, very

1190
01:04:04,340 --> 01:04:07,360
fashionable, you know, something to the throne or

1191
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:11,400
something, you're ready, so on and so on.

1192
01:04:13,460 --> 01:04:17,080
You were baptized into that death, and so

1193
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:19,240
that you could forever live the rest of

1194
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:22,800
your life on earth and through eternity crucified,

1195
01:04:26,270 --> 01:04:26,790
that's why.

1196
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:32,080
Yeah, that's marvelous, isn't it?

1197
01:04:32,780 --> 01:04:35,600
Because if you're crucified, you're so ugly, you

1198
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:36,140
stink.

1199
01:04:37,140 --> 01:04:38,920
You know what I mean by that, must

1200
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:43,080
be terrible to cross, blood flowing, eggs quittle

1201
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:49,280
running, flies set in your living, terrible, terrible.

1202
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:55,870
Crucified, hallelujah.

1203
01:04:57,290 --> 01:04:59,970
I'm crucified, he said, he cried.

1204
01:05:00,710 --> 01:05:02,330
Don't point out to me it was in

1205
01:05:02,330 --> 01:05:03,690
the past tense, I know that.

1206
01:05:04,590 --> 01:05:06,710
If it's in the past tense, it must

1207
01:05:06,710 --> 01:05:07,390
be in the present.

1208
01:05:08,370 --> 01:05:10,030
It's not in the past tense so that

1209
01:05:10,030 --> 01:05:14,620
you leave it behind, it's the past tense

1210
01:05:14,620 --> 01:05:16,580
in the sense that it's a continuing thing,

1211
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:21,220
because we're preaching Christ crucified, he's crucified today.

1212
01:05:22,460 --> 01:05:25,540
You keep that clear, we preach Christ crucified.

1213
01:05:26,100 --> 01:05:30,840
Not Christ but was crucified, as an act

1214
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:35,040
of eternity, in time, it was so.

1215
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:40,880
We're preaching Christ crucified, amen.

1216
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:44,060
Paul says, I'm not preaching myself, he says,

1217
01:05:44,100 --> 01:05:45,020
do we preach ourselves?

1218
01:05:45,140 --> 01:05:47,600
No, we don't preach ourselves, but I'm crucified.

1219
01:05:52,610 --> 01:05:54,350
Wonderful crucifixion.

1220
01:05:55,270 --> 01:05:56,510
And that's how we'll survive.

1221
01:05:57,050 --> 01:05:59,110
That doesn't mean to say we're to live

1222
01:05:59,110 --> 01:06:01,350
as though we're always on the Via Dolorosa,

1223
01:06:04,020 --> 01:06:05,060
doesn't mean that.

1224
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:09,520
We can do this with glory, and with

1225
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:10,080
glory.

1226
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:15,560
I'm crucified, amen, hallelujah.

1227
01:06:17,140 --> 01:06:18,140
That's wonderful.

1228
01:06:22,610 --> 01:06:24,910
May the Lord lead us in truth.

1229
01:06:28,450 --> 01:06:31,150
I trust you don't think I'm too fat,

1230
01:06:33,380 --> 01:06:35,900
but when they went through the river on

1231
01:06:35,900 --> 01:06:40,140
that great day of crossing into their possession,

1232
01:06:41,820 --> 01:06:43,100
what do you think it looked like?

1233
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:46,580
Because I've already told you, this great, this

1234
01:06:46,580 --> 01:06:51,580
pillar of clouds coming down onto the ark.

1235
01:06:52,420 --> 01:06:56,100
And the ark was on the shoulders of

1236
01:06:56,100 --> 01:06:56,620
the priest.

1237
01:06:57,020 --> 01:06:58,140
So if you could have looked at it

1238
01:06:58,140 --> 01:06:59,820
that way, it's almost like an inverted cross.

1239
01:06:59,920 --> 01:07:02,480
Here's the pillar, here's the ark, and here's

1240
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:04,220
men standing holding it up.

1241
01:07:07,930 --> 01:07:10,030
And you know, it's absolutely right.

1242
01:07:11,570 --> 01:07:13,470
That's in my imagination, of course.

1243
01:07:17,130 --> 01:07:19,450
But what a marvellous thing it is.

1244
01:07:21,050 --> 01:07:25,450
That's how they went, right past the ark.

1245
01:07:27,370 --> 01:07:29,490
Just as they hadn't heard the word crucified

1246
01:07:29,490 --> 01:07:32,890
then, the cross hadn't been invented as a

1247
01:07:32,890 --> 01:07:35,710
form of capital punishment, it was way before

1248
01:07:35,710 --> 01:07:36,250
the Romans.

1249
01:07:37,820 --> 01:07:41,920
But there it is, God has woven it

1250
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:46,500
into the scripture, this marvellous fact.

1251
01:07:47,300 --> 01:07:51,280
And you know, whoever has had a baptism

1252
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:56,180
that hasn't taken them into that body by

1253
01:07:56,180 --> 01:08:00,280
that crucifixion, has not had a baptism at

1254
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:00,740
all.

1255
01:08:06,210 --> 01:08:07,210
No, they haven't.

1256
01:08:07,910 --> 01:08:12,010
I said, that you contact the spirit before

1257
01:08:12,010 --> 01:08:14,390
you contact the body of a man even

1258
01:08:14,390 --> 01:08:14,970
on earth.

1259
01:08:17,220 --> 01:08:19,880
And that's what's happening to so many people.

1260
01:08:22,630 --> 01:08:27,689
May the Lord move us into the truth.

1261
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:33,500
And when you see that a man is

1262
01:08:33,500 --> 01:08:38,200
a man, but he's a different kind of

1263
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:38,580
man.

1264
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:41,000
When you see a woman is a woman,

1265
01:08:41,140 --> 01:08:45,399
but she's a different kind of woman.

1266
01:08:45,399 --> 01:08:49,850
Then you know that they're crucified, whatever may

1267
01:08:49,850 --> 01:08:50,830
be their gift.

1268
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:56,540
We're in this glorious body of Jesus Christ,

1269
01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:58,000
there's only one baptism.

1270
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:01,100
Beloved, we need it.

1271
01:09:02,700 --> 01:09:08,420
Whatever else men may call the baptism, or

1272
01:09:08,420 --> 01:09:12,160
somebody may say, a baptism of love, or

1273
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:16,500
a baptism of compassion, or a baptism.

1274
01:09:16,700 --> 01:09:21,740
People use these words freely, just like the

1275
01:09:21,740 --> 01:09:22,180
world.

1276
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:27,200
They find a person, a sort of vivid

1277
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:31,460
personality, and they say, oh he has great

1278
01:09:31,460 --> 01:09:32,160
charisma.

1279
01:09:33,060 --> 01:09:35,040
People take up these words.

1280
01:09:38,660 --> 01:09:40,560
Don't be afraid by them.

1281
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:51,250
Here's the thing, it's his life that's translating

1282
01:09:51,250 --> 01:09:52,210
through me.

1283
01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:59,280
That's right, it's his spirit in me.

1284
01:09:59,780 --> 01:10:02,840
It's his life I live.

1285
01:10:05,300 --> 01:10:09,100
I came to him and I said, I'm

1286
01:10:09,100 --> 01:10:10,120
going to put it in the length of

1287
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:10,660
our text now.

1288
01:10:10,740 --> 01:10:13,040
I don't know if I've used these words,

1289
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:16,520
but in the essence of the truth, I

1290
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:20,280
come to him and I say, Lord thou

1291
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:22,380
art God.

1292
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:26,760
I submit to thee.

1293
01:10:26,940 --> 01:10:30,540
Baptise me in thy body, Lord.

1294
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:34,120
Baptise me in thy spirit, Lord.

1295
01:10:35,140 --> 01:10:35,520
Amen.

1296
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:37,780
That's the way you come.

1297
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:44,320
When all the struggles cease, and a new

1298
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:48,240
wonder dawns upon the heart, at least it

1299
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:48,840
did with me.

1300
01:10:52,050 --> 01:10:58,930
I knew, I knew, you say, I'm a

1301
01:10:58,930 --> 01:10:59,850
different person.

1302
01:11:01,910 --> 01:11:04,930
Whether or not I've lived to fulfil all

1303
01:11:04,930 --> 01:11:06,390
the potential, I don't know.

1304
01:11:08,030 --> 01:11:09,510
But that's what it's got to be.

1305
01:11:11,190 --> 01:11:13,010
It's not just the conversion.

1306
01:11:13,510 --> 01:11:15,010
Conversion is under this.

1307
01:11:16,530 --> 01:11:22,970
Conversion must be under the baptism, Amen.

1308
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,160
The gospel for today, and here I'm going

1309
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:30,660
to read it, is this.

1310
01:11:31,340 --> 01:11:33,800
You are to believe on Jesus Christ unto

1311
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:35,600
the reception of the Holy Spirit.

1312
01:11:35,780 --> 01:11:36,560
Write it down.

1313
01:11:39,430 --> 01:11:41,110
That's the gospel for today.

1314
01:11:42,330 --> 01:11:44,710
They believe on Jesus Christ the forgiveness of

1315
01:11:44,710 --> 01:11:46,790
sins, they believe on Jesus Christ the healing

1316
01:11:46,790 --> 01:11:48,990
of their body, they believe on Jesus Christ

1317
01:11:48,990 --> 01:11:51,330
to be the leader of the disciples, you

1318
01:11:51,330 --> 01:11:51,550
know.

1319
01:11:51,650 --> 01:11:58,350
Now you believe on Jesus Christ unto the

1320
01:11:58,350 --> 01:12:03,980
reception of the Holy Ghost, and don't stop

1321
01:12:03,980 --> 01:12:05,860
believing until he's come.

1322
01:12:07,820 --> 01:12:08,380
That's right.

1323
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:09,680
Amen.

1324
01:12:14,910 --> 01:12:17,690
Glory, glory be to the name of the

1325
01:12:17,690 --> 01:12:18,230
Lord.

1326
01:12:19,050 --> 01:12:19,810
Amen.

1327
01:12:20,030 --> 01:12:23,250
Never let your people rest in sins forgiven.

1328
01:12:24,650 --> 01:12:25,190
Never.

1329
01:12:26,350 --> 01:12:27,730
Take them on.

1330
01:12:28,530 --> 01:12:30,870
The figures of sins is clearing the way.

1331
01:12:31,770 --> 01:12:33,850
The casting out of the devils is clearing

1332
01:12:33,850 --> 01:12:34,370
the way.

1333
01:12:35,710 --> 01:12:38,250
All these other things are clearing the way.

1334
01:12:39,210 --> 01:12:39,890
Hallelujah.

1335
01:12:41,490 --> 01:12:42,170
Amen.

1336
01:12:49,100 --> 01:12:52,020
Oh, may the Lord lead us into the

1337
01:12:52,020 --> 01:12:53,260
fullness of all this, beloved.

1338
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:56,000
Amen.

1339
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:58,880
Did you know that chorus sings a different?

1340
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:01,000
Something happened to me.

1341
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:02,220
No.

1342
01:13:05,970 --> 01:13:07,270
Come and sing it to us, Crandall.

1343
01:13:11,050 --> 01:13:11,730
All right.

1344
01:13:12,410 --> 01:13:13,410
That's the liberty.

1345
01:13:14,430 --> 01:13:15,170
Yeah.

1346
01:13:16,190 --> 01:13:19,110
When I gave my heart to Jesus.

1347
01:13:19,810 --> 01:13:21,510
That's the way it goes on.

1348
01:13:23,190 --> 01:13:25,250
Some, it seems a different now.

1349
01:13:25,430 --> 01:13:27,390
I'm changed, it must be.

1350
01:13:28,230 --> 01:13:30,830
Since I gave my life to Jesus.

1351
01:13:31,390 --> 01:13:33,070
So, the chorus goes on.

1352
01:13:33,290 --> 01:13:34,270
Real good chorus.

1353
01:13:37,470 --> 01:13:40,690
May the Lord do something wonderful in every

1354
01:13:40,690 --> 01:13:43,350
one of us, beloved, unless this week has

1355
01:13:43,350 --> 01:13:44,270
been in vain.

1356
01:13:44,730 --> 01:13:46,190
But I believe it has.

1357
01:13:50,370 --> 01:13:50,970
Amen.

1358
01:13:52,130 --> 01:13:58,470
We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus.

1359
01:13:59,170 --> 01:14:02,230
Oh, hallelujah.

1360
01:14:02,610 --> 01:14:04,250
Just think of that.

1361
01:14:05,670 --> 01:14:07,610
Created in Christ Jesus.

1362
01:14:08,770 --> 01:14:10,890
Yes, in Christ Jesus, beloved.

1363
01:14:11,590 --> 01:14:14,990
Living in some dirty, dusty old workshop where

1364
01:14:14,990 --> 01:14:17,810
the rats run through and where that stuff

1365
01:14:17,810 --> 01:14:18,230
is.

1366
01:14:19,570 --> 01:14:29,050
Holy, pure, no dust, no war of

1367
01:14:29,050 --> 01:14:37,120
machinery, no foreman.

1368
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:41,400
Elder is another word for foreman.

1369
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:48,580
Here is the thing, hallelujah.

1370
01:14:49,900 --> 01:14:52,560
Created in Christ Jesus.

1371
01:14:53,060 --> 01:14:56,580
That's all real workmanship, beloved.

1372
01:14:59,580 --> 01:15:02,300
I'm going to have the right kind of

1373
01:15:02,300 --> 01:15:05,200
workshop if I may put it that way.

1374
01:15:06,440 --> 01:15:08,560
And that's what it's all about.

1375
01:15:10,740 --> 01:15:12,800
To the Lord lead us on.

1376
01:15:13,260 --> 01:15:13,900
Created?

1377
01:15:14,060 --> 01:15:14,400
Yeah.

1378
01:15:15,820 --> 01:15:17,780
What am I created for?

1379
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:18,780
What of?

1380
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:21,720
Oh, not that dirty old dust that I

1381
01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:22,500
made Adam from.

1382
01:15:29,990 --> 01:15:30,930
Who matters?

1383
01:15:34,770 --> 01:15:36,630
If you can't quite picture it in your

1384
01:15:36,630 --> 01:15:39,790
mind, let the sense of it filter through

1385
01:15:39,790 --> 01:15:40,510
your being.

1386
01:15:43,580 --> 01:15:45,360
Give yourself up to it.

1387
01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:48,140
Enjoy your creation.

1388
01:15:48,740 --> 01:15:50,840
Adam did, but God anyway.

1389
01:15:52,100 --> 01:15:56,310
And move in the faith.

1390
01:15:56,410 --> 01:15:57,090
Amen.
