But notice. A germ…What is a germ? Now, we take a cancer, what is it first? Why, it’s a growth, tumor, cataract, goiter? They’re growths. Is that right? And they become malignant and cancers. Well, a growth is a multiplication of cells. And let’s dig down below that now. Below that growth is a—is a growth, a group of cells. Then it goes down to the germ. Well, what is a germ? A germ is a teeny little cell, teeny little thing that can only be seen, not with the natural eye, but through microscopes, glasses. But below that then; it’s got life. It moves. It’s got the life in it. What’s below that in that germ? It becomes spirit. And there’s only two resources that spirits can come from: that’s either from God or the devil. There’s no halfway between them. There’s no halfway Christian. Did you ever see a drunk sober man? Did you ever see a black white bird? You never seen a sinner saint. You’re either a Christian or you’re a sinner. That’s what I like about you full Gospel people: you put the line down, and you’re—you’re on one side or the other. If you’re borned again…If I’m borned a human, I’m a human. When you’re born a Christian, you’re a Christian.
