Them theories don’t change God’s Word. No, sir. God’s Word is eternally true, and It’s right, and It…our faith is based on there. And by… I’m not saved today because I got down at the altar and cried. [Blank spot on tape—Ed.] I’m saved because the Word of God tells me I’m saved. Satan can whip me around anywhere on how you feel. But I believe it, because God said so, and I accept Him upon the basis of His Word. That’s how I was saved. I believed it, and confessed it, and then it works the results. But the first thing, I’m saved because God’s Word teaches I’m saved. That’s how you’re saved, if you’re saved. Satan can whip you on your ideas and things, but he can’t go around the Word of God. Jesus said, “It is written,” and that settled it with all. It is written in the Scriptures.
