Repentance and the Ghost baptism
Even the spirit of truth; whom
the world cannot receive, because it
seeth him not, neither knowelh
him: but ye know him; for he
dwelleth with you, and shall be in
you. (John 14:17)
One cannot receive the baptism
of the Holy Ghost before he re¬
pents. Jesus said that the world
could not receive this experience.
He meant that those who were un¬
willing to give up the carnal things
of the world, through repentance,
could not receive the gift of the
Holy Ghost.
Peter made this plain in Acts
2:38: . . .Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Je¬
sus Christ for the remission
sins, and ye shall receive the gift
the Holy Ghost. It was no
that he mentioned repentance first.
In God’s divine order, repentance
must precede water baptism and
receiving of the Holy Ghost.
One watches people as they tarry
for this spiritual experience and be¬
comes convinced that some
cannot seem to receive have simply
not repented. And if and when

Evangelist Nathan Martin
is true, it is useless for such a one
to praise God, with the expectation
of receiving the Holy Ghost. He
should first repent, and claim God’s
promise of forgiveness. Then, when
the assurance of forgiveness comes,
it will be the normal thing for him
to worship God. And God will pour
out His spirit into this repentant,
believing, worshipping soul!
Time for repentance is limited.
One’s time to repent is strictly lim¬
ited by the extent of his earthly life.

There can be no repentance after
death. And, since in the normal
course of events, one does not
know how long he will live, it is
perilous, indeed, to procrastinate.
The Bible declares, it is appointed
unto men once to die, but after this
the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27)
But the time of repentance is fur¬
ther limited by the duration of one’s
capability of being impressed by
conviction. The continued refusal to
repent, when called by God’s spirit,
brings hardness to the heart. Paul
spoke of people who were past feel¬
ing. Such never feel God’s spirit
leading them to serve Him. They
have lost all desire for repentance.
The apostle also asked this ques¬
tion: . . .despisest thou the riches
of his goodness and forebearance
and longsufferings; not knowing
that the goodness of God leadeth
thee to repentance? Think of the
goodness of God to you, and surely
your heart will be inclined toward
repentance.
Peter declared that the Lord is not
willing that any should perish, but
that all should come to repentance.
The pastor, Dr. Jimmy L.
Williams, officers and members of
the church cordially invite everyone
to come, register and to participate
in the Institute of Christian Educa

THE BIBLE STORY
ft THE THREE HUNDRED CHOSEN If
’AND THE NUMBER OF THEM THAT LAPPED, PU1TING THEIR HAND TO THEIR MOUTH, WERE THREE
HUNDRED MEN.’ JUD., 7, 6.
GOD was by now so nearly forgotten throughout Israel that He knew that, if the people defeated
Midian, they would credit the victory to their own might, not to His. Therefore He told Gideon dial his
army was too numerous. Gideon proclaimed that all the men who were afraid should return to their
homes. Somewhat to his dismay over two-thirds of them took advantage, of this permission. Yet there
still remained ten thousand resolute men. God declared these also were too many.
Meanwhile, the hordes of Midian, outnumbering the Israelites perhaps a dozen limes, had come up
against them and lay in wail for them in the valley. God bade Gideon let his men go down to drink at a
pool which is still called "the fountain of Gideon.” There the leader was to watch which men threw
themselves recklessly down to drink from the stream, and which were watchful against the enemy,
keeping their heads uplifted and raising the w’atcr in their hands. Of all of the ten thousand men only
three hundred thus proved themselves wary. So Gideon separated these from the rest, and God hade him
send the others off to a distance. By these three hundred alone should Israel be rescued.
