Milburn a local SB Pastor says this about the coming together of all churches during the Will Graham Celebration:
Some 118 churches to host this Celebration. "Our local ministerial alliance, where the idea was initially born, is composed of only 15 to 20 churches. We are awestruck."
This is the ecumenical, new evangelical philosophy of everyone just coming together.
*******
Concerning doctrinal separation the "Celebration Director" said, "Jamey Wooten, who serves as the Celebration Director in Burleson, TX, agrees that the city has united in prayer. “We are believing the Lord for a mighty outpouring of His love and forgiveness during the Celebration. It is our prayer that many will surrender their lives to Christ and that the long-standing walls of division will crumble as the Gospel is preached." "We also are proclaiming that all the superficial walls that people have built up around themselves will come tumbling down, just like at Jericho."

Will Graham is in favour of worldly music at his Celebrations.
Canton Jones
Check out Canton Jones that Will supports.
Singer, songwriter, producer and arranger Canton Jones served as emcee for BGEA’s Rock the River launch events, and he will be performing his music when the Rock the River tour debuts July 18 in Baton Rouge, La.
Mr. Jones said, "Finally I felt God’s leading to pursue the music industry again, but this time to use the talents God had given me for His glory, not mine. I began to do hip-hop and R&P (rhythm and praise), with lyrics inspired by the Word of God. The music appeals to young people and to those who don’t know Jesus Christ." All of this with Will Graham's approval.
Mr. Jones gives us his worldly advice on how to win teenagers in the world:
"The world is willing to do anything to capture our young people. We have to be just as radical as the world, just as cutting-edge as the world, to compel them and keep them in the church."
Mr. Jones was asked this question:
Q: What burden has God put on your heart?
"My burden is for the young people. I want to supply music both for kids we’re trying to win to Christ and for Christian teens, so they can be proud of representing Christ.
I’m like a bilingual type of guy. I have to know how to speak “street” and “teen,” and then I have to understand how the adults speak, so I can interpret one to the other. My ministry is like a bridge between the church and the streets, between the parents and the kids, between Christians and non-Christians."
Mr. Jones idea of evangelism and soul winning:
"I think my desire for young people and my desire to be radical when it comes to winning souls is a perfect fit for Rock the River, because it’s soul winning—it’s evangelism."
"Rock the River is an evangelistic effort to reach youth with the truth of God’s love. In each city, it is one day of nonstop music mixed with the Gospel message."
Remember, this guy is working for Will Graham and the Billy Graham Association. All of this above is approved and okay by Will Graham.
*******
Will Graham has no stand on the Word of God, the King James Bible. Instead the so called water down doctrinal statement found at the BGEA website is weak and does not list the KJV as the Bible. In this same New Evangelical doctrinal statement, there is not one mention of separation from the world, or a literal lake of fire for all eternity.
*******
Will Graham is in agreement with the Samaritan Rose a nondenominational outreach to help those around the world in their poverty, war, disease, famine, etc. It doesn't matter if Catholics are involved or not. Will's idea is that we put our doctrinal differences aside for a greater cause.

Casting Crowns

The Barlow Girls
Check out the Barlow Girls that Will supports.
Will Graham with the Barlow Girls
On the BGEA website they promote the NIV a perversion of God's Word. In there bookstore under "Music" they promote Jeremy Camp, Barlow Girls, Casting Crowns, Joy Williams, Tommy Walker, FFH, and Mercy Me. This is all the world's music and Will Graham is in 100% agreement.
*******
Will graduated from Liberty University in 1997 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Religion and in 2001 graduated from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity degree. Therefore, he has no sound doctrinal foundation.
*******
At each of Will's Celebrations as he calls it, that's exactly what it is. A celebration of self, sin and the devil. There is rock music, half naked people on and off the stage, dancing, ecumenism, perversion of God's Word, etc. This is not the type of man or organization I would let at my church.
