Again, I've never said that Graham was in Heaven. I was criticized for saying:
I don't believe that Billy Graham knew the fullness of Apostolic truth. But I do believe he truly loved the Lord, and walked in the fullness of what he did know and understand. I pray that God have mercy on his soul, and that God's loving grace will lead him to his eternal reward. We serve a just and loving God, and His mercy endures forever.
I clearly illustrate that if Billy is saved, it would have to be on account of a sovereign act of divine mercy, because Billy didn't know the fullness of biblical truth. I never said that Billy
will be in Heaven. If anything, I only hope to see Billy there. But I realize that the reality of such a hope is a long shot, if not impossible, if I read my Bible correctly. So, I leave it in the hands of a just and merciful God who will do as He pleases. Because I trust His judgment (whatever it will be) over my own, or anyone else's.
I find it strange that commending judgment to God seems to make some so insecure that they assume doing so will get Graham into Heaven.
The only reason I can see for this insecurity is that to do so indicates that there is a judge higher than us all... and they clearly don't trust God to judge rightly without their input.
