Even if you question the private beliefs of Billy Graham, there's no questioning the astounding effects of his ministry.
I would agree that there is no questioning the "astounding effects of his ministry"! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/drop.gif" alt="" /> Having worked for the Billy Graham Crusade, I am more than a little familiar with it's theology, methodology and results. Even Billy Graham himself has admitted that in his estimation "perhaps 10% of all those who come forward are actually saved." Methinks that Graham is off by at least 9.9999%. The "outstanding effects" however is to be seen in the hardening of men's hearts toward the true living God and the salvation which is to be found in the Christ of the Bible. The "outstanding effects" are the deluding of millions of people who think that they are right with God, when in fact, they are on the road to perdition with Bibles in their hands. Psychological manipulation, Madison Avenue techniques and emotional appeals do not result in true godly repentance and faith in Christ. Charles Finney, one of Billy Graham's "heroes", and whom he models his methodology and message was a class A heretic who led many, along with himself, to a fiery hell.

But as I wrote before, it isn't surprising that a Roman Catholic would be sympathetic to Billy Graham as he is truly a semi-Pelagian "brother". [Linked Image]
