How do I contact Billy Graham?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Billy Graham Association, in Charlotte North Carolina, is the approved way to ever hope of contacting Billy Graham to ask him a question and get his answer.

Unless you happen to know the family, of course.

Though it is doubtful that your question would get through to him at this stage in this life, since in 2016 he is 97 years old, and I am pretty sure he has a younger team of people who receive and answer question for him.

Is the Duggar family Baptist?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. The Duggar family are not members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church). The Duggars have attended several churches and generally are described as independent conservative Baptists. The Duggars tend to be more conservative than the average Mormon, although they have said they are often asked if they are Mormons.

Was Michael Jackson a born -again christian or just a baptist Christian?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I do not have any solid evidence that Michael Jackson knew and believed ( meaning trusted) Jesus Christ as his savior. I read someone posted he was raised Jehovah's Witness. Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in the biblical Jesus Christ. In scripture Jesus is the only God (part of the Trinity) who died to save all the world of it's sin. Genesis, Isaiah and the Gospels are just a few books that speak so visually of God and Jesus. Jehovah's Witnesses claim Jesus to just be a prophet or at best one of a few children of God. They also claim to be born into the Kingdom and to be gods as well. This is contradictory to Christians and the Bible. Christians believe that only Christ is God and that He gave us all a choice to confess our sins and forsake them or to deny Him and live apart from Him. It is an all or nothing choice. No partial belief counts in Christianity.

Did Michael Jackson repent, accept Christ?

Pop idol reached out to Gospel star Andrae Crouch before death

Gospel superstar Andrae Crouch and his twin sister, Sandra, confirm meeting with Michael Jackson and praying and singing with him weeks before his death.

Jackson, raised as a member of the Jehovah's Witness sect and reportedly a convert to Islam last year, sought out the Crouches for inspiration for his upcoming tour, for which he was unprepared, according to a report in Assist News Service.

But while some blogs have reported that meeting led to a spiritual conversion by Jackson, the Crouches say they are not certain.

"Not sure where that came from," said Sandra Crouch on her Facebook page. "We loved and respected Michael and will continue to pray for his family. All the extra is not from us."

A spokesman for the Crouches had this to add: "Andrae and Sandra did in fact visit with Michael Jackson two times, once at the recording studio, and once at his home in the last two months, as recently as three weeks ago, asking for prayer concerning the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and how he could make his music more 'spiritual.' So Andrae and Sandra explained to him about the anointing and about Jesus. He wanted to know what makes your hands go up, and makes you 'come out of yourself,' and what gives a 'spirituality' to the music? He then requested to hear his favorite song that he loves and wanted the(m) to sing to him, so they ... joined hands and sang together, and he said, 'It was beautiful.' He first heard it in New York, and loved it and wanted it on tape. He had the engineer tape the song sang to him by Andrae and Sandra. He definitely had an encounter with them."

Was there evidence of a conversion?

The Crouch spokesman said: "He did NOT reject Jesus or the prayer when (we) prayed, and gladly joined in prayer. He usually doesn't touch anybody, but he touched them, and held their hands in a circle as they sang and prayed. There was NO actual 'sinners prayer' however, but they did talk and pray about Jesus and the anointing of the Holy Spirit. They also told him, 'Michael, we consider you as our son,' and he said, 'Yes, yes, yes' and gave him his latest music on a CD, and he told him, 'Andrae I trust you with this,' and gave him CDs of 2 songs ... unpublished, beautiful music."

Tourist and student come forewarned,

Milan, they're told, is nothing more

Than Brummagen half-latinized,

Its loud display of wealth a bore,

Aping America in outsized

Automobiles and skyscrapers:

Ethical conduct quite suborned

By latterday financial capers.

One night only in Soul Heaven

I didn't wanna wake up

I was having such a good time

All of The Bar-Kays were tuning up on stageon

Jimi had his guitar, gettin' ready to play

Sam was singing "A Change Gonna Come"

Otis was there, sittin' on the dock of the bay

There was a party in Soul Heaven

Superstars from the past

Standing room only, so you better hurry

Buy your ticket cause they're going fast

Train & Miles took a mean solo

Jr. Walker had 'em dancing in the aisles (Shoot 'em for he run now)

They stood up when Jackie sang "Lonley Teardrops"

When Sammy danced, the crowd went wild (Mr. Bojangles)

I thought I saw Ella standing with Mahalia

Backstage was Elvis with his blue suede shoes

It started raining, everybody just stayed there

To hear Z.Z. sing the "Down Home Blues"

Well there's a party in Soul Heaven

Superstars from the past

Standing room only, so you better hurry

The great Al Jackson was a holding down the beat

When Marvin sang "Let's Get It On", they jumped to

Their feet

Everyone started screaming and gave a standing ovation

When the curtain came up with the mighty Temptations

King Curtis blew the "Soul Serenade"

Thought I saw Lady Day sittin' in the

Shade

I got two lovers and I ain't ashamed

Lord I love the way sweet Mary sings

It was getting kinda late, it was time to go

Tupac and Biggie, they closed the show

I didn't wanna wake up, I was having such a good time

You generally present yourself to your local church as answering a call to the ministry. It is then up to the church to vote if they agree that your calling is valid. Not the same as being ordained.

Is it proper for Baptist to wear The Star of David?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well the Star of David pretty much represents belief in the Jewish religion. Or Jewish heritage. Even if you are not either, I guess it's really up to you. If you are unsure about it, talk to your pastor and (if you're a kid) your parents about what they feel.

"Second" refers to the chronological order in which the churches were established in the town they are in. I've heard that some cities are large enough to have up to a Seventh Baptist Church. First, Second, Seventh, or any other numbered Baptist churches would likely have identical statements of faith if they belong to the same conference or denomination.

Can a relationship between a Jehovah's Witness and a Baptist work?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

  • Yes ! If only they will follow Jesus' first and greatest commandment "Love thy neighbor as thyself" and do away with their blind-allegiance to their denomination. Matthew 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
  • The Bible says to "Marry only in the Lord". Jehovah's Witnesses marry only in their faith.
  • Yes, but always trust in God
  • The relationship will shatter into a million pieces. unless the Witness decides that it can work out, and keep it together. We are commanded to marry only in the Lord, hence, most Witnesses do well to marry Witnesses only.
  • No. Jehovah Witness people do not believe that Jesus saves (this is comletely false, and not based on any facts and contradicts with the next sentence), or that He is God. They see Jesus as God's son and the saviour. They may claim that they are Christians but they are not since they do not believe in the Trinity ("Christian": Professing belief in Jesus as Christ or following the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus.The American Heritage® Dictionary). You have to believe in Christ as God in order to call yourself a Christian (notice the 'Christ' in 'Christian') (unsubstantiated opinion not based on the Bible).Your relationship will fail if you are a truly devoted Christian, because the difference in belief is so huge. Obey the Lord and only date Christians. You will help each other grow better spiritually,and its pleasing to God most importantly.
