But just as the Gandi and and the Buddist who set fire to themselves are no doubt sincere but sincerely
wrong. I am judging his message and it is found wanting if the Bible is to be believed. The truth is either he is preaching the truth or the Apostolic church is preaching the truth one is in grave error BOTH CANNOT be right. Sincerity will NOT save in the absence of truth.

Bro. Epley,
I know of many Baptist folks as well as many people from other denominations who are spirit filled. You do not know how many lives have been changed and how many of those changed lives progressed to a different level over time. I do not think Rev. Graham is a false prophet at all.
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
