Jesus said, “Many will come and say, ‘Lord, have not I…’” He said, “I didn’t know you.” No, you never…See? Many will confess and say, “I have cast out devils in Thy Name, and in Thy Name I prophesied,” preachers and so forth, and everything. He’d say, “Depart from Me, you workers of iniquity. I didn’t even know you.” Some people might’ve went out and had some kind of a fleshly idea, tried to get popular, or some big education, or could speak a few swell words and made some money out of it. Jesus said, “You workers of iniquity, I didn’t even know you.” And iniquity is something that you know that you ought to do and will not do it. That’s right. And every man knows that he’s got to be borned again by the Spirit of God. You’ve got to receive the Holy Ghost. To turn It down is just the same as to turn Jehovah of the Old Testament, down in that day, or Jesus in His day: Same penalty and worse if you turn down the Holy Ghost. And it’s not very well-thought-of. It’s talked about.
