I believe his belief system is seriously flawed, but he is sincere in his love for God and wants people to come to Christ. I do not believe he is a false-teacher, but there are elements of how Christianity was re-shaped by the Great Awakening that are strong deviations from Christianity's original model. For example, the faith handed down by the Apostles did not include the premise of "accepting Christ as personal Lord and Savior" in place of sacramental baptism and on the basis of a sales pitch. Evangelicalism is not based upon a covenant-based theological framework.

Deut 18:21You may say to yourselves, "How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD ?" 22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.
Does Billy Graham fall into that category? I know that Pat Robertson does. You decide.

No. The Rev Billy Graham has provided his interpretation of the Bible objectively for years. provide the guy his due. he's not a Jerry Fallwell and he's not a Jim Baker or Tammy Faye. He additionally isn't wealthy. He additionally isn't against the Jews. the place did you get that concept?

Can you say antichrist!
All who deny that Jesus is the unique Son of God
1 John 2:22: “This is the antichrist, the one that denies the Father and the Son.”
Compare John 10:36; Luke 9:35.

Of all the tv evangelists, he'd be the last one I'd think that of. I don't know him but he's never had a scandal, he was married to the same woman from day one, he preached the unadulterated gospel, not that false prosperity gospel that the pastors and evangelists love to teach. And he never changed his message the 60 some-odd years he preached it. I admired the man greatly and I'm hard to impress.

Did he preach that God's Kingdom will solve mankind's problems? Did he use God's name Jehovah in his sermons? Did he encourage his followers to preach the teachings of Christ from door to door? Did he stay neutral to worldly politics or did he closely associate with political figures. The answer should be obvious.

No, I've never known him to be a false teacher. Virtually every word he preached was directly from scripture.

They are saying the same about God, Jesus and everyone who is proclaiming the word of God. No surprise here!

He's a thief like the other thieves. He's been around longer, so he's more accepted. He is less political...at least more quiet about it...so he's a little less offensive then some of the others.
