A news item involving Billy Graham was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the In the news section on 21 February 2018. |
The reference's title https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/rev-billy-graham-attended-bible-college-in-temple-terrace/67-521631530 is "Rev. Billy Graham attended Bible College in Temple Terrace". Nowhere does it or the 4-minute news piece state he graduated from the school, only that he attended there. Second, "evangelical theology" is absolutely not mentioned in the prose or the news piece. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 06:36, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
Somehow this statement keeps reappearing. "As of 2008, Graham's estimated lifetime audience, including radio and television broadcasts, topped 2 billion." ( talk) The source quoted is not accurate and is pure opinion. [1] The source is an editorial, which not factual and doesn't present any proof to back it up. It would like my friend publishing an article saying ( talk) has 1 million followers on social media. Or them publishing an article with me saying I have 1 million social media followers. The fact an article is published does not make it true. Wikipedia needs actual facts, not editorial opinions; otherwise, Wikipedia becomes a useless source of false assumption that would be no different that modern-day media. — Preceding undated comment added 08:06, 17 April 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by SineBot ( talk • contribs) 09:54, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia has this phrase describing Billy Graham, "...an ordained Southern Baptist minister," and identifies his denomination as "Baptist." I would have assumed that Billy Graham was Baptist, yet when one studies these schools Billy Graham went to, and the College he was President to, I think this is an assumption. Billy Graham was raised in a Presbyterian Church. From this Article. The College Billy Graham graduated from, Trinity College of Florida, is a Evangelical Bible College, founded by a Pastor of a Christian Missionary Alliance Church, not Baptist, more like John Wesley's teachings. See Wikipedia page Trinity College of Florida. Wheaton College is not a Baptist College at all, rather a non-Denominational, Evangelical College, no Baptist background at all. It shows he had connections with Presbyterians while attending Wheaton College. See Wikipedia page Wheaten College. Billy Graham was President of Northwestern, yet Northwestern is not connected with the Baptist denomination. See Wikipedia page University of Northwestern. His Friend, Charles Templeton, was never Baptist. See Wikipedia page on Charle Templeton. Indeed, when Billy Graham made the statement that Charles Templeton, "...had a shipwreck of his faith." That does not reflect the Baptist's Eternal Security theology, rather a more Catholic/Orthodox/Lutheran/Wesley theoloy, (anything in Christianity except Reformed Theology). All my life I was taught Billy Graham was a Baptist, yet I do not see any proof anywhere that Billy Graham was actually a Baptist, or Southern Baptist.

Please change "The association relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1999" to, "The association relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2003"

It would seem appropriate to add a link to the article about the statue where it's referenced at the end of the "death" section. 2600:1700:B090:1AD0:C850:134E:ED99:FAA6 ( talk) 22:40, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
