Hubert was preaching a revival with Mordecai Ham, when Billy Graham responded to an altar call for salvation at the age of 16. Do you have some information that would repudiate this? I checked out Hubert's story in Billy Graham's book, "Just As I Am," where Graham tells the whole story of his conversion at these meetings. It confirms just about everything in Hubert's testimony about it. He mentions Modecai Ham by name, just as we might expect from Hubert's account. I don't remember Graham mentioning Hubert Lindsey by name in his book, but that is not unusual to give only the primary evangelist the recognition. Billy Graham simply subtitles the chapter with, "Itinerant Evangelists." Hubert was one of those evangelists who preached this revival with Mordecai Ham where Billy Graham was converted. If you read the account from Graham, it sounds like Hubert's style of preaching all the way. He describes the sermons as being about sin, judgment and Hell. Billy Graham wrote, "What was slowly dawning on me during those weeks was the miserable realization that I did not know Jesus Christ for myself. I could not depend on my parents' faith." At the time, Billy Graham was a Presbyterian who had been baptized as an infant. Later, Billy Graham writes, "For all my previous religious upbringing and church activity, I believe that that was the moment I made my real commitment to Jesus Christ." So Hubert spoke the truth about Billy Graham's conversion. Why do you call Hubert a liar?

What are you talking about? I think you are mixing up information from various sources. Did you know Hubert? Are you reporting some first hand information here, or gossip that you obtained off the internet? John S. wrote: > A complete impostor, full of vile and hatred. > A reprobate in the truest sense of the word. John, I am truly shocked that you would say something like this. Hubert was a spiritual father to me. I guess that does not surprise you. Maybe you think the same thing about me. Hubert was one of the most loving men I have ever known. He was anything but full of vile and hatred. Not even his enemies ever characterized him like this. He was beat up hundreds of times for preaching Christ, shot, stabbed, you name it. Hubert was arrested 100 times for preaching Christ and never convicted of a crime. He always turned the other cheek and loved his neighbor. Through a broken jaw, he would tell his attackers that Jesus loved them and he did too. There were many men who were converted through Hubert's unquenched love for them, and they are preaching the gospel today. Peace be with you.
