Book # 88 - The Life and the Adventures of a Haunted Convict
The Life and the Adventures of a Haunted Convict by Austin Reed
"But in that day when I shall stand before God, I'll show him my back where the tyrant has printed it with the cats, and will point him to a dark and gloomy dungeon where I've laid my head many a cold night, without a bed or a blanket, and some days not a morsel of bread to eat, and I will point him to the showering bath and tell him of the water that has been showered on my head. I will show him the tyrants that has tortured and tormented me during my confinement within the gloomy walls of a prison. Those who might have done me a heap of good turned out to be my destroyers, and took away all of the good principles and reasons to which I was endowed with, and the high and noble mind which God had given to me have all been destroyed by hard usage and a heavy club. The very prayers which my mother printed upon my lips have all been wash away beneath the waters of a showering bath..."

Book #84 - Journey Out
[Such a person] is blinded; he is off the track.
He cannot know nor understand spiritual things.
He is a blind leader of the blind. [It should be
noted that the 'baptism of the Holy Ghost' as
here referred to would only be considered valid
if it is received according to the Oneness
Pentecostal ideal. If one has not spoken in
tongues, he has absolutely no claim to the
indwelling of the Spirit.] The simplest, most
ignorant one with the Holy Ghost is more qualified
than they [ones without the Holy Ghost], no matter
the amount of education they may have received
p 86-87
The other idea was that unless one was baptized in
Jesus' name he, in effect, had not been baptized
properly at all, had not been born again, and his
salvation was in question.59 This second aspect
was exemplified in the demand for re-baptism of
those formerly baptized in the trinitarian formula.
Re-baptisms occurred by the scores.60 Salvation
was now contingent, not upon faith in the person
and work of Christ, but upon a technicality of
wording in the baptismal formula.
