Well, that doesn't answer my question. Can you give 1 or 2 specifics?

He makes no such claim in the video. He says anyone, no matter what religion, can come to Christ.

But you can't come to Christ and still worship Buddha. He left that out.

Actually, in the video, Mr. Graham says that a Buddhist goes to Heaven if he did not even hear the name of Jesus. See the video again.

If indeed there is a heaven, I believe Mr. Graham would be correct. Atheists would join the choir celestial too, as would every well-meaning person of any and all persuasions.

Let's see. Billy Graham has traveled hundreds of thousand of miles spreading the Gospel. Thousands and thousands of people have answered his altar calls. But you, a guy sitting behind a computer who has done none of that, think he's a heathen and a liar. I'm guessing you and Billy aren't on a first name basis.

I have an idea Billy Graham, at the peak of his ministry when he was counseling Presidents and common folk, would have never even thought of judging you and calling you names.

I listened to it just now.

He says that these Buddhists and others can be saved when they are called out of that religion. this is true. God calls us out of any place we are in, of course, we are no longer buddhists or whatever but we have been called out, to the new life in Christ.

he is speculating about some people having an inner sense of Jesus even though they might not know the name "Jesus". I really dont know about that. I do know that you must be saved ONLY thru Jesus because Jesus said "I AM THE Way" (not just "a way" or "one of many kinds of ways).

I have heard the stories (i cannot verify if they are true but they are intersting to think about - stories of Muslims in Asia and Middle East who have visions of Jesus telling them that they need to come out of that religion and follow Him. some of the muslims were very radical, and when they get the vision, they are changed and now willing to suffer and die for Jesus. So i cannot say if this IS God, but it could be possible that God is reaching them, because that is what they need. I do not believe all these american preachers who have these signs and wonders allegedly saying its of God. I think some of that is malarkey, but perhaps the Muslim in the middle East needs that to be saved. I dont know, its just a thought. I cant prove if it is of God or not, but for them to make taht much of a change, it is possible.

I have no idea how God reaches some people in remote places, where a person has never phyiscally brought the gospel, but i think God knows how to message them in some way, i dont know, but it is possible. again i cannot speculate, only guess.

but if he meant that a buddhist can be saved and still remain a buddist, that would be WRONG.

People don't worship Buddha. They follow his teachings, but he's not a deity.

Yes, you are correct. That's why one can be both Christian and Buddhist at the same time. It's the impression we get from Billy Graham's statement.
