WHO IS GOD?
who-is-God
You know, I—I believe that when Jesus shall appear, that He will not ask us whether we belong to certain denomination of church. He’s going to… We’re going to be judged according to what we’ve done about Him in our heart.
Christianity doesn’t mean somebody that belongs to a certain church; it means that somebody’s been born in the Kingdom of God. See?
Now, I know that we have denominations of churches today who deny that Blood. Why, brother, sister, if you take the Blood of Christ out of here, you—you haven’t got any more than just some philosophy or something. It’s the Blood that makes atonement. It’s the Blood that saves. And it’s the Blood that heals. It’s the Blood that cleanses. That is the real thing of God, is the Blood.
2 John 1:3
“Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.”
4 And I’m—I’m happy tonight to know that people still believe in the Blood (See?), the Blood of Christ. And I do not believe in this social gospel they have today, and these cults that go around saying, “Well, there’s no such a thing as the Blood, and—and the Holy Spirit.” You just… You’re not a Christian when you do that. You can’t be. You—you can’t be a Christian without being borned again. That’s right. You can’t be, no matter what you try to profess.
But He said, “No man can say Jesus is the Christ, only by the Holy Ghost.” See? If you’re just taking what somebody else said, you’re going by what someone said. But you’ll never know it until the Holy Ghost has filled you with His Presence, and witnessed to you that He is the Holy Spirit and is right. I know you that believe that Jesus Christ the Son of God, is born in the Spirit of God. But you are only taking what somebody else said until it’s a witness to you. See?
