The year was 1949. Evangelist Billy Graham - preaching against communism - said: "Either communism must go or Christianity must go!" Newspaper mogul William Randolph Heart heard this, was impressed, and sent a memo to his paper: "Puff Graham." The rest is history.
Never mind his claim that his beliefs are almost the same as those of the Orthodox Roman Catholics, here is a fascinating excerpt from an interview with Televangelist Robert Schuller in 1997 (source):
Robert Schuller: "Tell me, what do you think of the future of Christianity?"
Billy Graham: "I think everybody who knows Christ, whether they're conscious of it or not, they're members of the body of Christ...God's purpose is to call out a people for His name, whether they come from the Muslim world, Buddhist world, the Christian world, or the non-believing world, they are members of the Body of Christ, because they've been called by God. They may not even know the name of Jesus...and I think they are saved, and that they are going to be in heaven with us."
Robert Schuller (overjoyed): "What I hear you saying is that it's possible for Jesus Christ to come into human hearts and soul and life even if they've been born into darkness and never had exposure to the Bible. Is that a correct interpretation of what you are saying?"
Billy Graham: "Yes it is, because I believe that. I've met people in various parts of the world...that have never seen a Bible or heard about a Bible, and never heard of Jesus, but they've believed in their hearts that there was a God."
Billy Graham (and Robert Schuller) have one view of the Gospel. Dr. David P. Murray has another -"Without Christ, You're damned!" Please take some time to listen to this life changing sermon by Dr. Murray:
