What is your view of salvation? Is it a moment in time when one finally places their trust in the gospel, or something different?BIlly Graham: a preacher of a false, unscriptural, message of salvation now propagated by his son: just say a prayer to be saved.

God has used a multitude of personalities, less than perfect, to share the Gospel.I notice some people here think Billy could no wrong. Do a REAL search, not just a one-sided search, & you'll find a man who believed false doctrine & was a true Freemason.

What is your point? Do you even know what the words mean? And a false message is still a false message whether spoken by Billy Graham, Franklin Graham, you, me or anyone.What is your view of salvation? Is it a moment in time when one finally places their trust in the gospel, or something different?
Billy was an evangelist, not a pastor.
I am not trying to destroy a man's reputation or show severe judgment against him, but there are considerable differences between "mistakes", & absolute false doctrine.From what I read about God apart from Jesus Christ himself he always seems to use people who have done things wrong. I am reading about king David at the moment (for the first time). Even though God loved him he is not perfect. It seems everyone God used/uses is far from perfect and that gives me real hope that if he used them he could use me too.
Everyone makes mistakes and get things wrong but we have a God who loves us, forgives us and helps us when we come to him![]()

Good luck finding a perfect pastor.What is your point? Do you even know what the words mean? And a false message is still a false message whether spoken by Billy Graham, Franklin Graham, you, me or anyone.
1st of all, a pastor is an elder / bishop not the minister, preacher, or evangelist. Secondly, it's about truth. If a preacher, minister, or whatever you choose to call him teaches untruth regarding the subject of salvation, the net result will be lost souls not saved ones. If the message is false such as Graham's was and still is, they are not saving souls nor bringing anyone to Christ, but on the contrary, they're doing the devil's work. If you can't tell someone how to save their soul by your message, you're not just useless, you've been decieved and are deceiving others causing them to follow you to hell through your false doctrine.Good luck finding a perfect pastor.
