Not sure if y'all know Dr. Billy Graham passed this morning at the age of 99 years old.

He certainly had an ability to persuade people of their need of a Savior.

Yes, saw the announcement from his son, Franklin, on FB and IG. Rev. Billy
Graham was a very caring and loving man. Never heard anything bad about
him in all the years he ministered. Prayers for his family.

I was saddened to hear of his passing this morning. I pray that his family find comfort and peace in this, their time of loss.

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.

Rest in peace, Billy Graham.

If the above is true? Then Heaven must be one absolute mess.

Chris honestly, you don't have to be nicer than Jesus. Originalist in a kind way made a good post "he (Billy Graham) certainly had an ability to persuade people of their need of a Savior." Fine, we move along, acknowledging that one point. Yet, we don't wish him into heaven by assuming that he had some special relationship outside of Biblical truth.

If he didn't obey acts 2 38 then......

Toast?

This question hails back to the age-old question about Cornelius in Acts the 10th chapter. According to Luke and the angel, here was a devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always. Had he died before Peter arrived, or had Peter failed to fulfill his evangelistic charge, would he be toast? Thankfully such weighty judgments are reserved for my Lord alone.

He did a lot of good in his life...let's remember his family that is grieving and leave his soul in the hands of our Lord.
I have given my whole life preaching Acts 2:38 and rebaptized quite a few trinity preachers so do not say I do not believe Acts 2:38. I have learned to leave things I cannot change in God's hands...

Old Cornelius was a law keeping Noahide Roman. The reason why the angel and Peter to show up was to WARN Cornelius to accept the Gospel. That is Christianity 101. So, to answer your question he would of been as toast as toast can be.
