CHANGING (TRANSFORMED) OF THE SOUL (NOT REPLACEMENT OF THE SOUL OR ANNIHILATED)
Scriptures
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
1 Peter 2:11
SAVING OF THE SOUL
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
Hebrews 10:38-39
ANCHOR OF THE SOUL
Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
Hebrews 6:17-19
PROSPEROUS SOUL
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
3 John 1:2
UNSTABLE SOULS
Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
2 Peter 2:14
RIGHTEOUS SOUL
(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
2 Peter 2:8
PURIFIED DOUL
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
1 Peter 1:22
SAVE HIS SOUL
Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
James 5:20
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

THEY WATCH FOR YOUR SOUL
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
Hebrews 13:17
SANCTIFIED SOUL

In your patience possess ye your souls.
Luke 21:19
SUBVERTING THE SOUL
Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
Acts 15:24
WORLDLY SOUL
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Mark 8:36-37
SOUL DESTROYED IN HELL
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
Habakkuk 2:4
WHEN THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES UPON YOU, IT CHANGES
OR CONVERTS YOUR SPIRIT TO A DIFFERENT SOUL.
Quote
157. Please explain the difference between the spirit and the soul.
157 Well now, that’s a hard one. But the first thing you are, a triune being, just like Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is three titles going to one Person, which is Jesus Christ. And you’re soul, body, and spirit. But it takes those three to make you. With just one of them, you’re not you. It takes the three to make you.
158 Like I said the other day, “This is my hand; this is my finger; this is my nose; this is my eyes; but who’s me?” Who’s me that this belongs to? It’s what’s on the inside of me; that’s the—the intelligence.
If this eyes, if this hands, if this body stood here just as it is today, yet I—I could…My body could be here, but me could be gone, what I am. What—whoever I am inside of me has gone on. That’s—that’s the part—part that is the spirit. The soul is the nature of that spirit, that when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, It does not do nothing…You…It changes or converts your spirit to a different soul. And that soul is a different nature that’s on that spirit. So the soul is the nature of your spirit.
159 Where first you were mean, and evil, and hatred, and malice, and strife; now you’re loving, sweet, kind, and—and… See the difference? It’s your nature. We’d call, I call it that. It’s your soul that’s been changed. The old soul died, and the new soul which is the new nature was borned into you. See?
160 Your brain is not your intelligence; it’s your spirit that’s in you is your intelligence. See? Your brain is a bunch of matter and cells and so forth; it has no intelligence in itself. If it did, then as long as it laid there, whether you was dead or alive, it would still operate. See? But it’s not—it’s not your brain; it is your spirit inside of you. And your soul is the nature of that spirit. That’s the soul of the spirit that controls—the spirit that controls the body. See? There you are.
Now, I got to hurry, ’cause we’re just getting a little bit late. Now, I think that—I hope that takes care of that.

NOT CHANGING (REPLACEMENT) OF SOUL
Now, Christianity is based upon resurrection, now, not replacement. Now, if this falls, now to take this and put its place, that’s not resurrection. That’s replacement. But resurrection is to bring up the same one that fell down. The same Jesus that went into the grave come out of the grave with the scars on His hand.

SAME JESUS
456 Now look! The body…God is a Spirit. Yeah, how many understands that? say “Amen.” God is a Spirit, Jesus is a Man, and Jesus was God made flesh. Jesus was…We could never see God, see, He’s a Spirit. You can’t see spirit. “No man has seen God at any time.” No man couldn’t see God. 457 And let me say this, “You’ve never seen me.” You’ve never seen me in all your life, and you never will see me. That’s right. You see this body that declares this person, that’s in here. Now, this body doesn’t have Eternal Life, but the spirit has Eternal Life. This body will go back, but it’ll come forth again in it’s likeness, just like a grain of wheat goes into the ground. Christianity is based upon resurrection, not replacement. Resurrection; the same Jesus went down, the same Jesus come back. If you go down red-headed, you come back red-headed; if you go down black-headed, you come up black-headed. See, it’s a resurrection.

RESURRECTION NOT REPLACEMENT
Quote
reincarnation, and all kinds of things. But Christianity is based upon burial and resurrection. That’s the principle. Now, resurrection isn’t replacement. Resurrection’s bringing the same up that went down. Now, if this piece of paper falls, and goes down to the floor. Now, if I just take this piece of paper and put it in that one’s place, that’s not resurrection; that’s replacement. But the resurrection is, bring up this same one that went down. That’s resurrection.

CHANGED YOUR FORM BUT NOT ANNIHILATED
Quote
225 See, you’ve, done has passed through time, and dropped into Eternity again; not keeping of days, and keeping of sabbaths; and new moons, and things like that. “But hath passed,” changed your form; not annihilated. Glory! “But passed from death unto Life Eternal.” Oh, what the Bible does teach us! See, passed from one to another.

FRAMEWORK OF THE OLD WORLD NOT ANNIHILATED!
YOU ARE PASSED FROM SINNER TO SAINT! YOU ARE CHANGED BUT NOT ANNIHILATED!
164 Now, so the old world framework was not destroyed by the water. The world was only washed off. That got its baptism. It was baptized.
165 So will the framework remain, though it be burnt by Fire. It don’t destroy the earth, see, it just destroys the sin that’s on it.
166 Notice here, some of you Bible students, and especially Doctor Vayle looking at me. Notice in Peter, in the 2nd chapter of Peter here, 3rd chapter, rather, he uses the word “world,” as a Greek word kosmos, which means, “the world order.” “The earth shall pass away, melt the elements with fervent heat.” See? Doesn’t mean that the earth, the planet, is going to pass away. But the world, kosmos, the politics, the sinners, the systems, sin, disease, germs, everything that’s wrong, will pass away. Everything that once…
167 God once shook the heavens, but this time He said He’ll shake the earth, heavens and earth…“He shook the earth,” rather, “and then this time He’ll shake the heavens.” See? “For we receive a Kingdom that cannot be moved.” It’s a Eternal Kingdom. Watch how he goes to it.
168 Notice here, Peter said, “And will melt with fervent heat, and the works therein burnt up,” not the planet. “The works therein,” the works of man, all their politicians and their schemes, and all their denominations and man-made schemes, will all go with it when it burns.
169 “And—and heavens will pass away with a great noise.” Did you notice here? “Heavens will pass away with a great noise.” Listen! The whole earth will be on fire, and will ignite the gases that’s in the earth and explode it. That’s exactly. Talk…The Bible said here, Peter said, “And the heavens will pass away, and earth, with a great noise.” Such an explosion will rock it, oh, my, ’cause it’s got to kill every disease, every thistle, every thorn. Everything there is to be done, the Fire will burn it up. And, remember, it’s not altogether just a literal fire, it’s also a holy Fire, see, that will take away Satan and all of his, all the devils. “Both heaven and earth,” amen, “will pass away,” killing all the germs, all insects, all natural life on it and around it, even the H2O (the water) will explode. Think of it. Talk about a noise!
170 You think that little noise out here in Tucson was something, when He opened the six Seals, that shook the country around about, and caused the talk. Wait till this earth receives her baptism!
171 You know, when a man receives the baptism of Fire, there’s a lot of noise around there. They think that’s a shame, to hear people scream and shout like that. Just wait till this earth gets her baptism!
172 Yeah, it’ll explain…explode it, the H2O, the water, for the Bible said here in Revelation 21, “and there was no more sea,” explode it. This will change the whole surface of the entire earth. She’ll burst and blow to pieces. All the outside, the crust, and for hundreds of feet below it, will just simply be completely demolished. The atmospheres, the gases that’s in the earth now, where they’re finding these missiles that can’t get through it, a great sphere up in there, way up in some kind of a sphere that there’s all kinds of gases, they say; and that’ll burst. The holy wrath of God will come upon it, see, and will cleanse it, will change the entire surface.
173 Now, many of you that want to put down this word, the Greek word, “pass away.” It comes from the word…I had to find it. I thought, “How is this world going to pass away, and yet we’re going to live on it?” But if you’ll notice, some of you people that wants to put it down, I’ll spell it for you. I couldn’t pronounce it, p-a-r-e-r-e-c-h-o-m-i-a. I don’t know how to pronouce it.
174 Now, that way, as I said, when I get…The inspiration strikes me for something, then I go back to find out the word. Now, here, I can’t spell the word, or I can’t—I can’t pronounce it. But, in that, the Lord has still give me a way. I go and find out what that word means, then I got it. See? Then I got it, again. See?
175 Heavens and earth will pass away, now, this word means, “passing from one form to another.” It does not mean “annihilation,” as the English word would mean, pass away, it’s annihilated. But the Hebrew word, or the Greek word here, does not mean pass away; it means, “from passing from one thing to another.” Look, but, “to pass from one condition,” it says, “to another.”
176 Now notice, Paul used it, if you want to read it now. Put it down, you can read it later. In Titus 3:5, Paul is using this same word, means regeneration of man, that man has passed from a sinner to a saint, not completely annihilated. When a man is changed, he isn’t annihilated, but he’s a changed person. He has been changed from what he was to what he is, not annihilated.

IT CLEANED THE BLACKNESS & MADE IT ALL WHITE!
Quote
57 And there was a little woman, a pr******te, her furl…fore-life up here was as black as it could be, she was ill-famed, but down in her heart she was predestinated to Life.
58 And then when Jesus, the Word, came on the scene, those Pharisees said, “This Man is Beelzebub.” What did it do? It blackened out what little light they had.
59 Jesus said, “You are of your father, the devil, and his works you do.”
60 But when this little, foul woman come, and she seen the Word of God, she knowed It. She didn’t live It, but she knowed It. And as soon as It spoke to her, she said, “I perceive You’re a Prophet.” And He…She said, “I know the Messiah will do this.”
And He said, “I am He.”
61 What did it do? It cleaned out the blackness and made it all white. Why? There was a seed laying there, a predestinated seed that was in the…It was God’s thought before the foundation of the world.

MARRED SOUL
HOLY SPIRIT COMES INTO MAN QND DRIVES THE BLACKNESS AND SIN AWAY.
And after this man sinned, he marred that soul. Blackness, darkness come into it. And then God came down and lived in man, suffered with man, to redeem man; and the Holy Spirit comes into man and drives that blackness and sin away from him, and brings it back into perfect fellowship, a part of God. And now, we, by the Blood of Christ, Who cleanses us from sin, we become sons and daughters of God.

LITTLE WHITE CLOUD THATS THE SOUL OF MAN
20 And then, we’re going to make this second man…The first man, you can’t see him. God…second man was a halo. And now He takes a third man and makes him like a little white cloud, coming over, we can see him; Holy Spirit coming down. And he’s all man. That’s the soul of man, eternal then.

WHEN HE SINNED THAT LITTLE CLOUD (SOUL) BECAME BLACK
Then here’s this man. And now the man sinned. And when he sinned and fell, then that little cloud in there became marred and black. Then the Logos came down and was made flesh and dwelt among us to redeem this man back to the love of the Father. And He came in by the baptism of the Holy Spirit and chased sin out of the human and brings man back again again in fellowship with God. You believe that? Back…

SOUL CHANGED
88. What difference is there between body, soul, and spirit?
The body is the flesh that you look at; that must rot. It was born by sexual desire of father and mother. It must rot. It’s no good. Therefore, in the new birth, in the resurrection when—when you’re brought forth again in a new body, it’ll be God’s creative power that’ll speak like He did to Adam and you’ll come forth.
Job said, “I’ll have a desire. He’ll speak and I’ll answer Him.” See? Now, the body is what you look at, the spirit is what controls you, your soul is the motive of that spirit, or the nature of that spirit. “The soul that sinneth, that soul shall die.” You’re born in the world with a sinful soul. That is, the nature of your spirit is sinful. You long for the things of the world. Then the Holy Ghost comes down and baptizes you and changes the nature of that spirit. Then the nature that’s left on you is of Heaven. Then you profess that you are a pilgrim and stranger. Then you are born from above. You’re from above, you’re a candidate of Heaven, you’re a new creature in Christ Jesus, with the same body, with the same spirit, only it’s changed.
And you are, or, your nature of that spirit is changed from unrighteousness to righteousness. That’s soul, body, and spirit.

SOUL IS THE IMAGE OF GOD THAT CAN BE CHANGED
Quote
210 What? You couldn’t make a lamb out of a pig, if you had to. He’s a pig, to begin with; he tends to his own business, and tell the lamb to take care of his own business. The only way that you could make that pig believe that it’s wrong to be in the pig pen, would put a lamb spirit in him. If he ever gets a lamb’s soul in him…Or, a lamb ain’t got no soul. But if he ever gets a lamb’s spirit in him, the very nature of the thing! That’s the reason you can’t make, convert a pig, you can’t convert a lamb, because he ain’t got no soul. What he is, in his spirit, he has got that same nature forever. See?
211 But, a human being can be changed from a pig to a lamb, because he’s got a soul made in the image of God. Amen.

That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
