Recent Fruit from Billy Graham
All Catholics who came forward during the June 27-30 Billy Graham Mission in Cincinnati, Ohio, had their names turned back in to the Catholic Church. In an article titled, "Being Touched with the Favor of the Lord," the Archdiocese of Cincinnati newspaper, 'The Catholic Telegraph,' in its August 23 issue describes the "follow-up" for these poor souls.
With the names provided by Graham, these Catholics were invited to an August 4 "prayer service" led by Archbishop Daniel Pilarczyk. Asking, "What does it mean to be saved," the article said, "Archbishop Daniel E. Pilarczyk gave a clear answer to the question." His "clear answer" was:
"To say that we are saved is to say that God loves us so much that He has found a way to plug us into His own life. Being saved, means, in part, being touched with the favor of God."
This is nothing but the deceptive, Catholic, "God loves you," teaching designed to make people feel good IN their sin, while totally neglecting mention of the absolute need for the forgiveness of sins that is in Christ ALONE. I guess Billy approves - after all, he sends people back to such teaching!
Also, the archbishop said, "The sacraments, starting with BAPTISM (emphasis mine), are encounters with the Lord." So - Billy sends people back to teachers who say the work of BAPTISM is necessary to have an initial "encounter" with the Lord. I didn't know Billy believed in works!
The article said, "A central element of the hour long service was a renewal of the baptismal commitment. The archbishop invited the congregation to come up individually and bless themselves using the holy water placed prominently in the front of the church." So - Billy sends people back to renew their Catholic baptism with "holy" water in the front of a Catholic Church - where I'm sure the Roman wafer-god was prominently displayed (and worshipped)!
Don't kid yourself, if anyone has been truly saved at a Billy Graham event, it was God working IN SPITE OF, not because of, Billy Graham. May God expose Billy Graham and his apostasy.
