Bishop T.D. Jakes Call Franklin Graham Out!

Kudos and a high five to Bishop Jake for calling  Franklin Graham out on his  mess.....I might not agree with every thing Bishop Jake say concerning the word of God.......but what  I do agree with is  the statement Bishop Jake made  about messy Franklin Graham....who I personal believe is destroying his father many years of hard work......this past Sunday Bishop T. D. Jake  appeared on TV One’s “Washington Week with Roland Martin....and in the show, Roland Martin asked Bishop Jake  to respond to comments made by conservative preacher Franklin Graham:
Roland Martin: Rev. Franklin Graham has made some comments on several occasions as recently as three weeks ago really questioning, if you will, the faith of the President. He said the President has told him he’s a Christian, but he basically said that going to church does not make you a Christian. But the President is on record as saying that he walked down that aisle, he gave his life to Christ, so what do you say to folks like Rev. Graham who, frankly, are muddying the water but other people who are questioning the Christianity of this President?

Bishop T.D. Jakes: I find it insulting. We didn’t question the Christianity of President Bush when he said he accepted Christ, and I’m disappointed in Rev. Franklin Graham in that regard. I wish he had the diplomacy of his father, who brought the gospel to people without being nuanced by politics because when you do those things you offend people that you are actually called to save and to serve. And I would hope that he would see the rationale in apologizing for such statements – because if the President’s faith is suspect then all of our faiths are suspect, because the Bible is quite clear about what it takes to be saved and the President has been quite open about his accepting Christ and him openly confessing it before men. And if it’s good enough for the Bible it ought to be good enough for the rest of us.
Yes, the Bible is clear on what it takes to be saved:

Romans 10:9 " if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved....in other words, BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART that "JESUS THE CHRIST" is the promised Messiah from the Old Testament.

1 John 4:15 "Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God."
in other words,CONFESS  that the "MAN" Jesus is the anointed King of King  that is spoken of in the Old Testament prophecies.

1 Corinthians 12:3 "Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost." in other words who are we to call another man unsaved?
