QUOTE: "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.
And there'll be a GROUP of people that's GOOD,
UPRIGHT, HOLY LIVING, God-saved people, that
will NOT be in the RAPTURE; and they'll come up
in the second resurrection. Now, who places the
pattern? God by election. Amen. God by election
places the pattern.
How many of you, all perhaps, have read of the
virgins? Some were wise and some were
FOOLISH. "VIRGIN" means "PURITY." They were
all GOOD people, everyone of them virgin,
sanctified vessels of God. But those who had oil
in their lamps went in. And the others was left
OUT. They were all virgins, everyone people that
you couldn't put your finger on for anything
wrong. They everyone believed in the coming of
the Lord. They were ready to go meet Him, but
some of them let their OIL go OUT.
Don't let that be your case. Keep oil in your
lamp. Oil is the Spirit, the Holy Spirit. Never let it
drain from you. When you feel your love dying
away, your sincerity to Christ, and to the cause,
quickly go to Him Who has the Fountain of Oil
and buy for yourself a filling of the Holy Spirit.
Make no mistake about it, a person that is truly
baptized by the Holy Ghost into the body of
Christ receiving the fullness of the Spirit will be
in the WORD ALL THE WAY. That is the evidence
of being baptized with the Holy Ghost. Judas
failed. Multitudes fail right there. And when they
fail to go on in that Word, their names are taken
off the Book of Life."

Sardisean Church Age)
