Jesus Himself called certain false professing godly people of His time sons of the devil, so it's not wrong to identify some who claim to follow God as false. The Bible speaks of apostates of the end times being very numerous. It's Biblical for many who claim to be Christian in the end times to be lukewarm and false. The falling away has to come first, where many are apostate, then the Great Tribulation. All of those men Charles Stanley, Jerry Falwell, and Billy Graham were high ranking demonic secret satanists. This is how they control people and turn them apostate. You show that you do not have discernment by not understanding that, and I don't mean to be rude when saying it.
No you are not rude. I think that we just disagree on what it takes to be saved and the evidence of who might be a secret Satanist. I do appreciate you for sharing.

Yes, there are famous people who are satanists with some who are not in secret

Trying to understand. So God has made it clear to you that each and every famous person is a satanist?

If so, that must be a tremendous prayer and evangelistic concern.

God has shown me that all of them are that without exception. It's a concept He has made clear to me in a way that I don't have to know about all of them and test them all personally against Scripture to know if they are that or not. All of them are that. It's not just some generalization I came up with myself, God has literally made it clear to me that all of them are that.
The idea that just being well-known means that a person cannot be a genuine Christian doesn't seem to fit with God's Word:

“For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.” (1Co 1:26 NKJV)

"Wise", "mighty" and "noble" could be referred to as famous or well-known. As John Gill said in his commentary: "The apostle does not say that there were none of the wise, the mighty, and noble called; for there were Crispus, and Sosthenes, rulers of the synagogue, and Gains a rich hospitable man, and Erastus the chamberlain of the city, and it may be some others of a like or better figure in life; but there were not many of them; instances of this kind are but few recorded in the Scripture."

I wonder why you think that God has imparted to you knowledge about the spiritual standing of a large group of people claiming to be Christians? I could understand the elders of a local church being so enabled by God concerning an individual famous person applying for church membership, but what good is it doing you? Also, are you saying that if a person is famous, they cannot become a Christian? That, in my opinion, is limiting God, and asserting something that is not taught in Scripture.

I was given this gift over 30 years ago. Acquiring the humility to use it properly has taken my entire Christian life. This is still very much a work in progress.
My suggestion to anyone who believes they might have this gift is simply this, keep it to yourself, and pray fervently that Christ, along with this gift, give to you His heart for the world. But be warned, along with His heart comes great sorrow, and great responsibility.

I'm really sorry if my response sounded rude yesterday. I think it sounded kind of ugly and I'm really sorry for that.
