Do all Holy-Ghost-filled people speak with tongues sooner or later?
60 That’s the first question, “Do all Holy Ghost...” Then, it’s all in one question, I got it lotted here for number four question. But I’ll–I’ll say this first, you see:
Do all Holy Ghost people speak with tongues sooner or later? I find where Paul said he “spoke with more tongues than them all.”
All right, question number four: Do all speak with tongues when receiving the...Or, no, it said: Do all speak with tongues...No: Do all the Holy-Ghost-filled people speak with tongues sooner or later?
61 Now, brother, I...This is a deep question. Now, there, you probably...I’ll probably have some answers back on this.
62 The Holy Spirit, part of the Holy Spirit is justification. That’s when you first...God has to call you or you’ll never be called. See, there’s nothing you can do in yourself. “No man can come to Me except My Father’s drawed him first.” Is that right? So part of justification is the Holy Ghost.
63 Have you heard me explain to that Lutheran dean that time about the corn field? See, “The corn, a man went out and planted two...planted his corn field. The next morning he went out and ‘nothing.’ After a while he found two little blades sticking up, he said, ‘Praise God for my corn field!’”
And I said,
“Did he have a corn field?”
And the Lutheran dean said, “Potentially.”
64 I said, “That is right, potentially he did.” But I said, “By...” I said, “That was you Lutherans.”
65 “By and by the shoots grew up and it come to a tassel. That was Methodist. The second stage of the corn, it’s a tassel.” (I think that’s right, you brethren from the farm.) “And then the tassel looks back down to the leaf and said, ‘Huh! I’m a tassel, you’re just a leaf! See, I don’t need you no more.’ And then the tassel...The pollen drops from the tassel, back into the leaf again; has to have the leaf.”
66 “And then from that brings forth the ear. That was Pentecost, the restoration of the gifts like went into the first place, back to the original. Then when the ear come out, said, ‘I don’t need you, tassel. Or neither do I need you, leaf.’”
67 But, after all, the same life that was in the–the blade of corn made the tassel. And what was in the blade and the tassel made the grain. So what is the Holy Spirit speaking in tongues? Is an advanced justification. See? What is the Pentecostal church? The advanced Lutheran. See?
68 But now when the advancing has come, the question would be this, “Then shall I just remain?” No! No, the corn’s matured. See? You start off with the grain. Start off with the–the Word, the grain, It’ll produce justification. And stay in justification till It produces sanctification. Stay in sanctification till you receive the Holy Ghost.
69 Now when you receive the Holy Ghost, what will It do? What is...Still got a question, haven’t you? All right:
