I ;like him better than his dad; he is even stronger in his faith and does not bow down to anything against Christ being THE only way to salvation.
Yes; he is better than his dad in many ways. BG was effective in his Crusades with thousands coming forward to receive Christ. How many of them truly were saved and went on to live Spirit-filled lives? How many of them were caught up in the hype of the moment? We don’t know. There was no follow-up with these people, and no mentoring for growth. Also, in the ‘90s, in a TV interview, BG was more than squishy in answering the question of whether Jews go to heaven.
He was careful to live a life above reproach, and it appears that nothing about his organization was/is scandalous with finances, etc. You can’t say that about many evangelists in the public eye in this day and age.
Franklin is not the showman his father is but he has a stronger testimony, and he’s more in the trenches in his efforts. Ditto for his sister. After reading his autobiography, it seemed that the kids’ spiritual decisions were due to their mother’s influence, as his dad was absent. It’s been a long time since I read the book, but IIRC, Billy didn’t speak to the kids much regarding salvation. (I could be wrong, but that’s what I recall.)
