Question

Do you receive the Holy Ghost when you believe, or after you believe?

Answer

I’m re—not responsible for nothing else but to say what God says. Now, you don’t receive the Holy Ghost when you believe. You receive the Holy Ghost after you believe. You receive It after you believe. And It’s a gift of God. No faith, no nothing else would give It to you. You can’t just imagine you got It; you can’t just accept It by faith. It’s absolutely a work of God that comes down into the heart and makes known the Presence of Jesus Christ. And when you receive the Holy Ghost, then you believe in all kinds of miracles and signs. And not only do you believe it, but you practice them. “These signs shall follow them that believe. Repent, every one of you and be baptized. Go into all the world; preach the Gospel. He that believes and is baptized shall be saved. He that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe: In My Name they’ll cast out devils, speak with new tongues, take up serpents, drink deadly things, lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” That is a sign of the believer. Believeth thou this? That’s what the Bible said, the last words Jesus said when He left the earth.
