Some of Billy Graham's quotes are classics:

“I have never known anyone to accept Christ’s redemption and later regret it.”

“Sin is the second most powerful force in the universe, for it sent Jesus to the cross. Only one force is greater—the love of God.”

"Mountaintops are for views and inspiration, but fruit is grown in the valleys."

Well he's wrong on the first point because I have known people who have regretted accepting Christ..either through love for the world or their life becoming worse. Graham has millions of salvations through his ministry and never encountered anyone regretting becoming a Christian? Interesting. I wonder if that is because he never talked to or followed up anyone who came to his crusades. He's not alone. Benny Hinn and others come in their police escorted platoon, do their thing on the stage and then go back the same way they came, never actually talking to anyone or following up.

It might encourage some to post. Don't worry.

Unlikely, as LC members are actively discouraged from visiting sites like this one.

I read where at the beginning it was a concern for Billy regarding follow-up, which is why he contacted Dawson Trotman of the Navigators to help. Billy also partnered with the body of Christ with several churches providing care for the new believers. I don't think it's fair to place Billy in the same group as Benny.

Probably a good idea.
