As far as I know, his message has not changed, but you can check his site and see if it has. Sorry for not being more help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason for that, I believe, is so he can focus on the gospel and not offent people at any end of the doctrinal continuum. There is a doctrinal statement on his web-site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked and have not seen anything in print showing what he actually said. That may be what you are thinking of kitty. If anyone has proof that he denies that Jesus is needed to be saved, I would like to see it. Altho I like billy graham a lot .... his crusades brought my hubby to Christ and he in turn brought his family and me to the Lord .... I always will check the words of a preacher to scripture. If graham has taught something else, I wont close my eyes to that out of misplaced loyalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the quotes were in the form of sound-bites where you did not get the full context. I agree that you should ask the ministry directly what they believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that you should ask the ministry directly what they believe you should also be able to google the interview (s)with Larry King at cnn and read the entire transcript(s) if that is the "source" of what the person heard to see whether or not their claims are valid or the interview brought up questions that you need to address with him or his organization. love your sister in Christ, Rebekah David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear so many people tell me they are going to heaven because they are surrendered, and sincere, and commited: The Bible tells us that we are to believe in Jesus Christ. But, oh, what a big word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
