How far, Brother Branham, can or should a deacon go to keep order in the church? Should we keep the order or wait until Brother Neville tells us what we should do?

That isn’t Brother Neville’s job, that’s your job. See? You don’t tell Brother Neville what to preach on, how to preach it. See, that’s your job, you deacons, you’re supposed to do that.

Why do you baptize in the Name of Jesus Christ in place of the name of the “Father, Son, and Holy Ghost”?

Well, there is no such a thing as a name of “Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.” That’s the reason. There was nobody in the Bible ever baptized in the Name of “Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.” Every person in the Bible, or three hundred years this side the Bible, was baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ.

Now, the next question is: Is it true that you are not saved unless you have received the Holy Ghost?

There could take about a good five hour discussion on that.

Conversion means “to be changed.” Now, to make this efficient, Jesus said to Peter who...
