I do know that exclusionism, and those that think they are the only ones right, saved, or going to heaven have earmarks of a cult. Many of us will be surprised who will and will not make it to heaven. The Bible speaks of those who have done many things in His name but yet he will ask them to depart from him because He never knew them. This is not about Rev. Graham but about those who have learned to play PC and act PC and dress PC but their insides are full of dead men's bones.

I do believe the Apostolic message but this is not comprehensive of the "truth" in all matters. Again I say...do not be quick to judge. If we, who are spirit-filled [as we define it] can't live a life of integrity, free from the stigma of sin, then how do you think a man who is not spirit-filled [again by our definition] overcomes? Something to think about.

Blessings, Sis. Rhoni
There are MORMONS and JWs that live sterling lives. I had a aunt who was a Christian Scientist that was moral person her religion changed here but did NOT save her. Buddist are known to be moral. Not to impugn you but honestly from reading this you do NOT believe the Apostolic message. ONLY the blood has the power to save and that is through obedience through the gospel the which Dr. Graham does NOT preach. The twelve steps of AA has changed alcoholics but has NEVER saved one. Meditation no doubt has helped disturbed and distressed folks but NEVER saved one. The Moonies has rescued some neglected and abused young folks but NEVER saved one. Mr. Moon has not been charged with any moral charges. Evidently you believe salvation by works instead of faith in the blood we recieve when we are born again by obeying the gospel. Remember YOU NOT I started this thread I am only replying which I will EVERYTIME false doctrine is exalted and truth is minimized. I am set for defence of the gospel.

Bro. Epley,

I refuse to get in a boxing match with you. I did start this thread so others could post nice things about a revered and honorable man of God...not judge him.

Do not judge me either...I am Apostolic to the core...just not dogmatic about things that I am not the judge of nor do I have control of...I do practice the serenity prayer...even though I am not a 3 stepper, 7 stepper, or a 12 stepper.

Blessings, Sis. Rhoni

If you posted this thinking no one was going to reply you are very naive. The NAME of the forum is APOSTOLIC Friends Forum NOT BAPTIST FF! I think Dr. Graham is honorable and revered but NOT a man of God. John said "he that is of God heareth us." 1Jn. 4:6

How difficult is it to post with affirming and gracious posts? I expected replies...but more positive ones...of course many do not consider fruits of the spirit as has been stated, or neglected in the Fruits of the Spirit thread!

Fruit of the SPIRIT in NO way says a LIE is the truth. Did Jesus and the Apostles have the 'fruit of the Spirit' when they denounced false religious leaders of their day?

I am NOT trying to be unkind and have not attacked him personally but have complimented him personally. It is not his personal life I am indicting it is his false message that does not have the power to save but only decieve.
