Water Baptism and Holy Ghost Baptism
On the way
back it “rained pitchforks”, a tremendous rain.
Only one student had an umbrella, and the wind turned it inside
out. The water was running
down over their faces, and their hair was plastered down over their
foreheads. But they came to
me with shining faces, saying, "Mr. Schubert, John the Baptist said,
'I baptize with water, but Jesus will baptize you with the Holy Ghost.' We
are getting our water baptism now; maybe we will get our Holy Ghost
baptism tonight." And that is exactly what happened.
That evening, instead of the six or eight or ten coming, there were 250 to
300 present in the Baldwin School chapel.
The place was filled. Dr.
Sung had us sing some choruses about prayer. Then he told us to pray.
But nobody prayed. It
was rather embarrassing at first. Then
two little high school girls stood up and began to pray at the same time.
I can still see their double braids.
We had never had that; never more than one person prayed at the one
time. I remembered what Gypsy
Smith had told about when he was preaching in a "Gothic" church
in Virginia, controlled by a “Gothic lady”.
When two persons prayed at the same time, this “Gothic lady”
said, “Mr. Smith, you tell them to stop; we can't have two persons
praying at the same time.” He told her, “Sister, God has two ears.” |
