Full Transcript
I do not believe in the early church. There were two or three men who were ordainable and everybody else was sitting there waiting to grow up. I don't believe that.
That is the curse of this age that we are living in. That you can hardly find a leader. Maybe one every now and then.
That is not God's will. It wasn't that way in the early church and it shouldn't be that way now. But we need the Holy Ghost.
That's what we need. There's grace in that.
