THE SAME ONE JESUS BELONGS TO
I personally do not hold either title you posted but this is the one I feel comforatble with:
A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST AND HIS TRUTH.
What church do you belong to:
THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD
Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

This would be my thoughts on Billy Graham and his new found thinking!
First........ he says that he thinks that everyone may be going to heaven. I have a problem with that right there because what the Spirit has shown me is that no man goes to heaven.
When we die......we die. It will take being resurrected to live again which we then will be given immortality.
Second..... according to scripture, the doctrine of UR is just milk of the word. When BG starts talking about spiritual meat and it lines up with the doctrine of Christ, then I will
listen to the man.
If God decides to remove his blindness, then I will rejoice. I wish everyone could have eyes to see and ears to hear, but it's all according to God's Will and His good purpose!
I will say a prayer for him.

Beloved:
Even if Billy Graham believes that All will be saved, we need to remember that this doctrine is still milk and not meat.
(Heb 6:1 KJVR)
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
(Heb 6:2 KJVR) Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
I agree with chuckusa but think we should refrain from using terms like universalism, universalist, etc. Many organizations (christian and pseudo-christian) have adopted this term and their many of their teachings have distorted God’s word.
For anyone who is interested in learning about some of these terms there are several sources that go into detail about some of the confusion about the use of these terms.
For the early church this was never an issue, today these labels used by theologians have become confusing and misused and abused.
There are hundreds of scriptures that support that ALL will be saved and we do not have to label this truth. Let us all try to remember always that this is milk. For many christians even this milk is too tough to swallow.
I understand the need to learn to be precise with our language, so a review of this material is not a bad thing.

Hello Beloved,
Even after reading all of Ray's material, I am still confused as to what is milk and what is beef, scripturally that is. You state the understanding that all will be saved is milk. Where's the beef? ;)
Since the promised land is a land flowing with mlk and honey, do the meat eaters get disappointed. ;D
Seriously though, what in your opinion, qualifies as "meat"?
