Its a great thing to hear! May God bless you all!

Both Franklin and his Father Billy are well respected preachers of the Gospel by their Catholic friends. Every want to know where Billy got his honorary PHD from? He got it from a Catholic University.

Billy Graham is one of the few Evangelical types who Catholics truly honor as a fantastic example of a Christian. I like the idea of Saint Billy!

It's not what you believe in or even what you put your faith in that saves. It's actually the truth itself that saves…it’s the promise of that truth that saves. The truth is that God promises that everyone who believes in Jesus Christ will be saved (John 3:16; Romans 10:9-10). We have all sinned and fallen short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23). As a result, we deserve death and an eternity apart from God (Romans 6:23). But God loved us enough to die in our place, taking the punishment that we deserved (Romans 5:8). As a result, all those who believe are saved and eternally secure. Have you placed your faith in Christ? Have you accepted the truth? If the answer is yes, then throw away your doubts and trust God. If you know Jesus as your Savior, you are saved without a doubt! If the answer is no, then believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and you will be saved! That's God's truth and His promise.

Cowboy,
Jesus called us friends. You cannot have a friendship without a personal relationship.

Cowboy,

Think on this one. Christ said that to follow him you must pick up your cross daily(luke 9:23)

The reason I say this is because that is what is meant here. You don't just go to church once a week and be baptized and then your done. To follow Christ is to daily die to one's self and live in him. That I would call a "relationship". And although no, that is not what brings salvation, it is a fruit of true faith.

Hey cowboyfan88, you're right in saying "personal relationship" isn't in the Bible anywhere. It didn't make its appearance within Christianity until about 1850, but let's look at the good:
478 churches "across denominational lines" came together to support our brother in Christ, Franklin Graham. In other words, we finally started acting like one body of Christ. Praise God!

Praise the Lord!

Is the gospel believing that Jesus did it all? It is but that's not what he said here. Were is the verse that says you have to have a "personal" relationship? That is the reason people, which one time included me; are confused about what real salvation is. It's not relationship that saves but in what you believe and what you put your faith in.

Thank You Mr. Graham for continuing to carry the message of the Gospel. My God continue to richly bless you.
