I think everyone would be quite surprised to find out what Billy actually believes. Though he is associated with Southern Baptists he is certainly doesn’t conform totally to their beliefs. I have seen interviews and read reports that Southern Baptists considered scandalous. He is viewed as once a “good ole’ boy” to a man who has “played the field” of theological opinion.My question was about OSAS, not backsliding.
Billy Graham is a Southern Baptist, and from my experience with Southern Baptists, antinomian OSAS is the central doctrine of their religion. If Billy Graham has renounced the heresy of antinominanism, I would be greatly surprised (and greatly pleased).
I find it interesting that Billy Graham’s website dances around issue of OSAS without ever either trying to defend this doctrine or condemning it outright. Southern Baptists are quite aware that their version of OSAS is considered to be heresy by Catholics, Orthodox, and many other mainline Protestants.
I have a videotape devoted to Billy and his crusades which includes interviews of him and some of his friends that would knock your socks off. He truly is open-minded and willing to listen to differing opinions. He obviously has a tremendous knowledge of the Bible and Christian doctrine. I have a collection of three of his books that are filled with kindness and compassion and he has always lived his life with the upmost morality.
My hat’s off to this great, great man :tiphat: .
Peace…
