Read Paul’s second letter to Timothy chapter 4. v 18. Paul is certain of his fate. A man or woman saying that “Their” deeds, church, dogma, etc gets them into heaven is sin. A person saying belief in Jesus Christ by His sacrifice they are saved is not sin because it gives Him the glory not mans works. Billy Graham will tell you he isn’t going to heave because he preached 60 years. He will say he’s going to heaven because of Jesus Christ dieing for his sins and in doing so overcoming death, hell, and the grave for him taking his and those who believe sins upon himself. Did you know doubt is wrong?

By that logic, we can all say the same based on God’s mercy like the repentant brigand who was crucified next to our Lord and was assured by Christ that he will be in paradise. Billy Graham’s comment is unadulterated arrogance. Like all of us, he needs our prayers. The Sacrament of Confession is a good start.

“And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.”
