Remembering President Ronald Reagan
Rev. Billy Graham

...

During the years before Ron was elected to public office, I had often detected a spiritual side to him. For example, I remember once when I gave a small dinner party at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and invited him. He brought up the subject of the Second Coming of Christ. The same subject came up with him on other occasions as well.

I have been told that where he grew up, in Dixon, Illinois, he did some preaching himself in his late teens. At the time, he was a member of the Christian Church, which was somewhat like the Baptist Church. I kept forgetting to ask him about it, however, something that I now regret. During the eight years of Reagan's presidential administration, we saw each other a number of times. I especially appreciated his kindness in inviting Ruth and me to several states dinners for visiting foreign leaders.

One night while I was staying at the White House, Nancy and the President got into a discussion about the question of salvation -- who was going to be saved and who was going to be lost. He gave her his views on conversion and the new birth right out of the Bible. She turned to me.

I believe the originator (instigator!) who started this thread should in fact elaborate or the disgusting inference that President and Patriot/Christian American Hero Ronald Reagan "may" not be saved.

Please = why don't you simply ask Him when you get there,
If you are so interested in making shure Presidents are saved...
why don't you "SAVE" Clinton while he is still breathing air!

I'm sorry. I didn't take the article as questioning President Reagan's salvation, whether or not it was authentic, but rather whether or not he expressed that he was born-again (that is, did he even believe that about himself? Apparently he did). Only God knows the true state of President Reagan's soul; I have no doubt that I will see him in eternity with Christ (as long as I persevere in my relationship with Christ).
