So then if you are anchored in Christ, and by one Spirit we’re all baptized into one church…You think you’re going to let me get by with that? Ha-ha-ha-ha. By one Spirit we’re all, not joined in, but we’re baptized into one body, body of believers (See?), all baptized, not joined in, baptized in. How we be baptized? By one water? No. One lake? No. By one Spirit we’re all baptized into one body, and become members of that body. Oh, my. If that don’t make me feel good to think of that. So, what can harm you? And then in that body when we come in, we are sealed, not from one revival to another, but until the day of our redemption: Ephesians 4:30, “Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby you’re sealed until your redemption.” Now, if you’re having just ups-and-downs, backsliding up-and-down and in-and-out, and this, that way, and you don’t know where you’re standing, you haven’t sealed yet. See? When a boxcar out here on the track that’s passing by here, the first thing you know they start packing it and putting things in it. Well, then, it has to be inspected before it can be sealed. The inspector comes around; if everything’s going to shake loose on the track, he will make you tear it out and put it over again. That’s what we do from one revival to another (That’s right.): clean her out, start over again, just come on back and start again. But when once you’ve really got packed in, and God’s Spirit has the right-of-way and you become a child of God, then the door is closed; a seal’s put on that door, and that door cannot be opened until its destination. Is that right? The work’s destined to be. So therefore, we are sealed by the Holy Ghost until the day of our redemption. Amen.
