''Now, there’s a good question. Now, the baptism with the Holy Spirit is a '''definite experience''' that a person must receive.<ref>William Branham, 64-0823E - Questions And Answers #2, para. 40</ref> | |||
''Is there any here that hasn’t received the baptism of the Spirit, yet? Now you say, “Brother Branham, I tell you, I shouted one time.” That’s very good. “I spoke in tongues once.” That’s very good, too. But still that ain’t what I’m talking about. How can you shout and speak in tongues and deny the Word? '''The evidence of the Holy Ghost is believing His Word.''' Always been every age if you can receive the Word. Those priests had Jesus beat a million miles when it come to fruits of the Spirit: gentle, and peaceful, and meek, lowly. He tore up churches, kicked them over; and tore the people out, and called them “snakes in the grass” and everything. See? But He was that Word. He was that Word. That’s it: believe God. God is the Word. Believe It.<ref>William Branham, 64-1227 - Who Do You Say This Is?, para. 218</ref> | |||
'' Now, that's no evidence of the Holy Ghost. See? You can't rely upon that. '''You can't rely upon the fruit of the Spirit''', because the first fruit of the Spirit is love. And the Christian Science exercise more love than anybody I know of, and they even deny Jesus Christ being Divine. See? '''There's only one evidence of the Holy Spirit that I know of, and that is a genuine faith in the promised Word of the hour.'''<ref>QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.2_ JEFF.IN COD SUNDAY_ 64-0823E</ref> | |||
''Now we have been constantly saying that the '''true evidence of being baptized with the Holy Ghost is for the believer to receive the Word for the age in which he lives.'''<ref>155-2, SMYRNAEAN.CHURCH.AGE, CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.4</ref> | |||
''The '''evidence of receiving the Holy Ghost today''' is just the same as it was back in the day of our Lord. '''It is receiving the Word of truth for the day in which you live.''' Jesus never did stress the importance of the Works as He did the Word.<ref>169-4, PERGAMEAN.CHURCH.AGE, CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.5</ref> | |||
