Christians are encouraged in the book of Hebrews to have a true assurance of salvation.
Hebrews 2:16
For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendants.
(beievers like Billy and Ruth are Abraham;s descendants by faith )
Hebrews 6:11
We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure. (we strive to have evidense of true saving faith in our lives, seeing that we are leaning on God's promises and that He changed our hearts and puts good fruit in our lives that we love God and others as a result of the faith we are saved by)
Hebrews 11:1
[ By Faith ] Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
(you can be sure)
Hebrews 10:22
let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
(sincere and hoping in the real deal)

It would seem that they are trusting in Christ, however no man is another man's judge. Billy Graham has done a lot of good while claiming Christ as his Saviour and Lord. I would think if he obeyed the Lord his wife was a godly Christian woman.
Irrespective of what they have or have not done, if their faith is
in Christ and His atoning sacrifice they will enter Heaven.
Heaven is not the last place though. The final place for God's people will be on earth in the New Jerusalem. Read the book
of Revelation for the whole story.

Hum well not really for me to judge. That's between God, Billy Graham and his Wife Ruth.

Yes, I believe they are too!
You can go there too someday, by trusting Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord.
It's great to have the assurance of a home in Heaven.
For I know the plans I have for you says God, plans for good and not for evil, plans to give you a future and a hope. If you search for me wholeheartedly, then you will find me.

Let them dream and dream and..... There is no heaven to enjoy.
There is no Duality allowed in heaven as is there Individuality! Although the ONE and undivided at the top of the pyramid has the inherent potential for Duality - potential does not mean it is actually manifest. A subject has to recognize an object.
What suffers and enjoys IS individuality, the Ego. If that should not exist anymore - then there is nothing to enjoy of anything. The garbage of the Ego is not allowed through the pearly gates!!! It means religions are pulling a really good one on the gullible believers.

What, you think they don't have a chance? Billy Graham is a respectable person.

I think they believe no such thing. Billy Graham believes that if he stands in front of a moving train he'll be crushed. In comparison to that belief, his belief that he and/or his wife are going to heaven is a pretty insubstantive thing.

Firstly, everyone believes they are going to their version of Heaven, even if that Heaven is hell or nonexistence.
Secondly, only God knows if they really are.
Thirdly, it doesn't matter what we think. It's their belief, they can believe what they want.

I believe the only place they're going is six feet under. But I could be wrong. They might get cremated instead. Or tossed in a trash compactor. Who knows?

God gave us His word so we can have assurance. I am thankful they do.
