In an exclusive interview with Parade Sunday supplement, Billy Graham said: “I fully adhere to the fundamental tenets of Christian faith for myself and my ministry. But, as an American, I respect other paths to God—and, as a Christian, I am called on to love them.” Unless Jesus was mistaken when He said, “I am the way…no man cometh unto the Father but by me” (John:14:6), there are no “other paths to God.” An earnest New Zealand Christian writes:

“This writer hurried forward to commit his life to Christ at Carlaw Park Stadium in Auckland, New Zealand, after a clear preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ and an emotional plea from Dr. Billy Graham for ‘decisions for Christ.’ That was 1957 and ... I can still recall the power of that evening and the love this man had for God, His Word, and the Truth ... ! The pressures of teenage life soon crowded in and I forgot about my “conversion” ... I graduated ... traveled the world, married, had a family, divorced and remarried. Then ... God sovereignly drew me to Christ and sound conversion! I recalled my evening with Billy Graham in 1957 and ... began to investigate what had become of Dr. Billy Graham, with strong feelings of nostalgia. In 1985 Dr. Leighton Ford ... visited Sydney with an evangelistic campaign and I signed up as an usher/counselor and attended the necessary training sessions—and the nightly meetings. ... A lot of what I saw, heard and read during that time contradicted what I had experienced in 1957! Something had changed. ... The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association had become ‘politically correct.’ It was now the friend of politicians and governments worldwide, and a welcome guest at the Vatican! Further investigation proved depressing and alarming. ... The decline from Evangelical orthodoxy to ecumenical apostasy has taken a mere 40 years. ... Sad to say, my journey into my spiritual past left me with a heaviness and great concern for the future. ...”
