Now, ask God to... While we're talking on
Revelations, ask Him to give you a revelation of this. For it
can only be known by revelation, and you can only be saved by revelation.
You have a knowledge of it intellectually, but you
can't be saved until it's revealed to you. "No man can call Jesus the
Christ, only by the Holy Ghost." That's what the Bible says. No
man can say Jesus is the Christ until he has received the Holy Ghost. He might
say, "The pastor said so; the Bible said so." Them
are true. "The church says so." That is true. But you don't know yourself
until the Holy Ghost has revealed it to you, and He's become in you. "No
man can call Jesus the Christ, only by the Holy Ghost." Not by knowledge,
not by intellectual.

E-28 Paul was down here in the
natural realm with his Ph.D. See? He didn't know... He had an intellectual
faith, but he didn't have a Divine faith. There's quite a difference in me having
an intellectual faith than a Divine faith. There's where you, my Baptist
friends, fail to go on. You get the intellectual faith by that, but it must be
a Divine revelation of Jesus Christ to you that just came out of the heart. The
intellectual faith is not enough. That's all right, but it only brings you to
the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a personal experience of the birth, the new
birth, regeneration, making a new creature in Christ.

45-1 Notice, God
holds this key alone. No theologian can tell you. It's not known; it's hid from
them. They know nothing about it. So the schools... "Well," you say,
"I got a Ph. LL.D." You only make... To me and I believe unto God and
to any real, true believer, that means you're just that much farther away; you
just backed off. God is
not known by education; He's not known by how to explain it.
God
is known by simplicity and of revelation of Jesus Christ in the most
illiterate person. See? Not your theology; it's a revelation of Jesus Christ.
"Upon this rock, I'll build My Church." No other rock's accepted; no
other thing's accepted; no other Roman rock; no other Protestant rock; no other
school; no other nothing; but on exactly the revelation of Jesus Christ in a
new birth. He born in there and injects His own Life, and your life is gone,
and the Life of Christ is projecting Itself through you with the preeminences to the people that they see the very Life, and
works, and signs and wonders that He did is doing the same thing through you. Outside of that, the rest of it's not even called to
at all.

36-4 Look, Christ in you
makes Him
the center of
Life of the revelation. See? Christ's Life in you
makes Him the center of the revelation. Christ in the Bible, makes the Bible a complete revelation of Christ.
Christ in you makes you the complete revelation
of the whole thing. See what God's trying to do?
What
is the new birth then? You say, "Well, Brother Branham, what is the new
birth?" It is the revelation of Jesus Christ
personally to you. Amen. See? Not you joined a church, you shook a hand; you done something
different; you said a creed; you promised to live by a code of rules; but
Christ, the Bible... He is the Word that was revealed to you. And no matter
what anybody says, what takes place, it's Christ. Pastor, priest, whatever it
might be... It's Christ in you. That is a--the revelation that the Church was
built upon.
