ìAnd that's what God is doing today, He's calling people out
of the world for His name, whether they come from the
Muslim world, or the Buddhist world, or the Christian world
or the non-believing world, they are members of the Body of
Christ because they've been called by God. They may not
even know the name of Jesus but they know in their
hearts that they need something that they don't have, and
they turn to the only light that they have, and I think that
they are saved, and that they're going to be with us in
heaven.î 9
Like Paul Crouch and Benny Hinn, he is also an advocate of Pope John Paul II.
ìThe Pope is almost as Evangelist ñ Billy Graham hails
Pope John Paul IIís pilgrimage to Poland as a triumph for
Christianity. Dr. Graham and other religious leaders also
heap praise on the pontiff for helping to push forward the
religious revival worldwide.î 10
The Roman Catholic Church murdered millions of true Christians for preaching
the gospel of Christ. But popes and priests readily accept the ecumenical gospel
of Billy Graham, just as they do with Paul Crouch and Benny Hinn.
ìThey open their arms to welcome us and we have the
support of the Catholic Church almost everywhere we go.î 11
Scriptural Foundation?
The Apostles of Greed proclaim the prosperity gospel as real, and allege that it
is based on scripture. In the February 2003 TBN Newsletter, Paul Crouch rages
about a dear brother who was not in line with this heresy and trashed it in just a
few minutes.
ìBut the one that really got my goat (pardon the ëMissourií in
me), was a dear brother on Praise the Lord a few weeks ago.
Yes, on OUR TBN! I was down in Florida and the program
was on tape. If it had been ëLIVEí I would have called the
engineer to take it OFF THE AIR! This ëdear brotherí was
waxing eloquent on the ëerrorí of giving to God, expecting
ANYTHING in return! In about 15 minutes, he totally
trashed everything Oral Roberts has taught us on ëSeed
Faithí for over 40 years! The great messages by R.W.
Schambach, John Avanzini, Dad Hagin, Benny Hinn,
John Hagee, Rod Parsley, T.D. Jakes, and a host of
others, flushed right down the drain!î 12 (emphasis mine)
