Salvo Siempre Salvo & 666

Miami Church Brands Members with '666' Tatoos - foxnews.com

Excerpt from this article:

"It's a sign most Christians would shun, because for centuries the numbers have been associated with Satan. But for the 30 or so church members who branded themselves with 666 and SSS — the initials of De Jesus' motto, 'salvo siempre salvo,' or 'saved always saved' — it's a mark of their absolute faith in De Jesus...De Jesus — who preaches that sin and the devil were destroyed when Jesus died on the cross and that God's chosen already have been saved — has built a massive movement around his claim to divinity. Followers call him 'Daddy' and 'God' and lavish him with $5,000 Rolexes and sometimes 40 percent or more of their salaries."

The Bible Says:

"For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
" - Matthew 24:5

"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."  - Revelation 13:16-18

"And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name." - Revelation 14:9-11

Is it Time to Label the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) A Cult?

Many years ago I read an article by Dr. Lester Dekoster, one of the former editors of The Banner, in which he made the statement: "Billy Graham is going to have to give an account to God for all of the keys to the kingdom he has handed out over the years."

What Dr. Dekoster meant was that Billy Graham has led millions and millions of people into believing they were 'born again,' and thus on their way to heaven, when in fact, many of his converts will eventually wind up in hell.  The Bible says:

"But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand..."When I say to the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand." (Ezekiel 33:6,8)

Dr. Dekoster's words caused a 'crack' in my belief in Billy Graham and his ministry. That 'crack' widened years later when I learned that Billy Graham was quoted as saying:

"I've found that my beliefs are essentially the same as those of orthodox Roman Catholics." (Billy Graham and Rome).

But that crack burst wide open today when I listened to Pastor Sean E. Harris' podcast Franklin Graham: Mormonism Will Never Be Labeled a 'Cult' Again.

This podcast is in response to the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association's decision to remove 'Mormonism' from their list of cults on their website.

Because My Gospel Project is dedicated to spreading the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth, I have been compeled to list Mormonism as a cult on this site. And I won't be taking it off. But now, I have added the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association to my list of cults as well (see My Gospel Project/Cults/Billy Graham Evangelistic Association)
