...he (BG) taught things we didn’t believe...

I wonder what some of those points might be. Do you remember any? I don't remember his ever preaching anything other than the (Pauline) Gospel of Lord Jesus Christ, striving to adhere to the Holy Bible.

I will tell you the big one. I won’t argue about it, though. I am no longer a member of that particular denomination, plus I just don’t like to argue doctrine.

But in a nutshell, the church I was raised in taught that you couldn’t be saved without baptism/immersion. Going forward for an altar call and praying the sinner’s prayer was just a manmade substitute for God’s plan.

So why Billy Graham was so profoundly respected among the members of that denomination...I still don’t know. But he was. Some things/people supersede even the most rigidly held doctrines, one must suppose.

I’m sorry if I implied you wanted to ague, btw. I should have qualified that comment, or simply omitted it. I realize you were probably just curious, which is understandable to say the least.
