“That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.” [John 17:21]
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,” [Acts 2:38-39;46]
“In the prayer tonight, our heavenly Master prayed to the Father that we'd be one as He and God is One. And how close were They? God was the Life and Spirit in Him. And if we are one with Him, we will be, Life and Spirit of Him will be in us. Then earthly, carnal, intellectual conception, and creeds, and dogmas will fade out; and a new, generated, borned again, virgin experience of the baptism of the Holy Spirit will take place in the human heart. Then you'll be one; then brother will really be brother; sister will be sister. Your objectives, and your motives, and all that you are, and all that you ever want to be, or try to be, will be for the Kingdom of God, no matter what church you represent, where you go or what you do.” [58-1221E The Unity Of One God In The One Church, Jeffersonville IN]
“Now, Eve was united until she broke one Word, or, doubted one Word being true. That separated her. Every Word, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word!" So we can be in God, united, because Adam and Eve, before the fall, afore the disbelieving of the Word, was an example of what we could be in Him. To be united with Him, is Life; to be separated from Him, is death. Now, if we follow His commandments!” [62-0211 Oneness, Jeffersonville IN]
“We know we make mistakes, but you mustn't look at that. It's not your mistakes, because you're always going to have them. But, you see, it's following His Rules, following what He said do. Stumble and falling doesn't have one thing to do with It. A real true servant, if he'll stumble, he'll get up again. If he wobbles, God pulls him right back in the path, as long as he's in the path of duty. But if he's off of the path of duty, God's not obligated to him. But as long as he's in the path of duty, God's obligated to him, knowing that he's just a man or a woman. He's obligated to that person as long as they're in the path of duty.” [62-0211 Oneness, Jeffersonville IN]
“What was the agreement? "If you'll keep My Words! If, My Word, if you'll keep It, believe It and act upon It!" But the very first time that Eve disbelieved, took one Word away from what God said, it broke off fellowship with that great union. And the minute that the church disbelieves any one Word of God's Bible, and places It somewhere else, then they break off that wonderful fellowship that's offered to them, and to be separated. As soon as she did that, death set in her mortal beings. Not only her mortal, but her spiritual being. She broke off relationship with God, the minute she disbelieved. And no man can believe... Here it is! No man, no woman can--can believe the Devil's lie until they have disbelieved God's Truth. No one can believe the Devil's lie until they have disbelieved God's Truth.” [62-0211 Oneness, Jeffersonville IN]
“And man can achieve better when they're united together. Now you take one man by himself, his power is limited to one man. Two men makes him twice his strength. Four men makes him four times his strength. And God wants us to be one. God made man that we should be one, and our motives should be one, and our objectives should be one, and our--our achievements should be one. He's just designed that way. And we find out that immediately after the antediluvian destruction, that man began to try to take over again, himself.” [58-1221E The Unity Of One God In The One Church, Jeffersonville IN]
“Now, don't you see the great picture? We, in flesh, are different. We're like a by-product, a created being, by holy wedlock. But in Spirit we are sons and daughters, not some other spirit, but the Spirit of the living God. We are in His likeness, in His unity, in the perfect image of the living God, because we become sons and daughters. Not separated, but the same Spirit, the same God, the same Person, joined in wedlock to the Eternal. See how God planned it that we should be not a different, but Him! Not some other being of some other tribe, but a real union and offspring of the Almighty, done by a holy union. Now, the body comes from mother and father, but the Spirit come from God, God separating Himself as Adam was separated.” [62-0211 Oneness, Jeffersonville IN]
“God wants to fill you. Why does He want to fill you? What does He want to fill you with? He wants to fill you with Himself, the Holy Spirit, filled with the Holy Ghost. Jesus said in Luke 24:49, that, "You shall receive power, after this the Holy Ghost is come upon you. Then you'll be witnesses of Me in Jerusalem, Judaea, and Samaria, unto the utmost parts of the earth." When? When you have received your doctor's degree? When you have 'ceived your--received a Bachelor of Art? No. "But when you have received the Holy Ghost, then you'll be witnesses of Me through this generation, the generations that are to come, unto the utmost parts of the earth." “There's what God wants you filled with. He wants you filled with the Holy Ghost, and then you'll be united, what to? A church? No, sir. You'll be united, what to? A creed? No, sir. You'll be united to God. And you and Him will be one, as He and the Father is One. And God's Holy Spirit will live in you. And the same works that the Holy Spirit performed when It was here in the Christ, Jesus, shall be performed in you, for He said He'd do it. Then we are one. Jesus prayed for that.” [58-1221E The Unity Of One God In The One Church, Jeffersonville IN]
“Be sure that down in your heart God has separated you from the things of the world and made you a new creature, then go tell people you're a Christian. Until that's happened, stay right at the altar and die till you're just as dead as you can be. All right. Die till you're so dead till you can't even... Well, that's right, dead. You know, I think, today, we bury too many live people. You bury people after they're dead. Is that right? Yes, sir. Listen, brother, a dead man won't argue with you. You can say anything to him you want to, call him all kinds of names, he won't say a word. Why? He's dead. And a man that's dead in Christ, you can offer him a drink, you can give him this, that, or the other, but he's dead. And he's hid in Christ, through God, sealed by the Holy Spirit. Amen. That's it. Now, then he can't do those things, because he--he just can't do it. It's against his nature. He becomes a new creature.” [53-0405E Witnesses, Jeffersonville IN]
