| I think the OSAS theology you might encounter at a Baptist school is far less dangerous than the WoF teachings you would be exposed to at Rhema. |

| I'm just glad I ain't the only person on Acts with discernment. At Rhema crowd is indeed plain weird. |

Now JD got a little mixed up on choosin Rhema over a Baptist school (but he'll see the light sooner or later), but he is dead on here. |
I had to go back to this thread and see if I'd actually said that but turns out the Old Timer may need to up his supplements LOL! (JK OT). But for the record I attended a Baptist University and I'm not even familiar with Rhema. But some other non-accredited schools do produce some very amazing ministries, I think we can agree that as long as they're not calling themselves doctors, then they are doing well (depending on what's being taught there). |

I stand corrected, JD, at was "brotherjames" who posted what I thought was you. My apologies to ya, bro. I read so many posts on Acts I often get confused as to which one of Eddie's pen names is sayin what. 
Rhema is not accredited by a recognized accreditor, but that's not the main reason I could never endorse the place. Its at constant flow of word of faith teachin at comes from there. |

| I NEED SOME HELP ...... |
COG a Long Time |
Someone help my thinking: "Why would anyone go to a non-accredited college/university when there are so many reputably accredited colleges/universities within driving distance of everyone within the United States?"
Not only that, there are so many online programs that one could take.
I'm serious, WHY GO TO A NON-ACCREDITED INSTITUTION?
My family goes back as members of the Church of God since the turn of the century --- that's the 20th century ---- and, everyone, who has wanted to, has gone to Lee ---- from the time it was a bible college to a major university. I also have uncles, aunts, cousins, etc. who have attended ECBC or NWBC as well.
The cost has never been prohibitive.
As a matter of fact, one of my cousins showed up on the door-step of President Ray H. Hughes, and told him, "I don't have any money, but God wants me to attend this college."
The story goes that Dr. Hughes said, "Well, if you're supposed to be here, don't you go anywhere else." He walked him to Admissions and told him to come back to his office later that day.
My cousin told the person in Admissions that he didn't have any money for tuition. The admissions clerk asked, "Did Dr. Hughes bring you here?" Nervously, he said, "Oh, no - my dad dropped me off."
Whoever helped him in the admissions office said, "I mean Dr. Hughes brought you to this office, didn't he?" My cousin said, "Oh, yes!" (Some of you have probably heard my cousin embarrassingly tell that story!)
When my cousin went back to Brother Hughes's office, he had him to kneel at a chair and he prayed over him. When the prayer ended, he told my cousin to come and go with him. They went over to the cafeteria. And, you probably know the rest of the story: he worked in the cafeteria and other places at Lee for the next four years to make money for tuition and to live on.
He graduated and ministered/pastored in the GREAT Church of God until his death a few years ago.
Again, would someone help my thinking: "Why go to a non-accredited institution?" |

Maybe the Lord told them to? |

Aspiring preacher in prayer, "Lord, where would you have me go to prepare me for my calling and to earn a degree that will benefit and facilitate the ministry you've called me to."
The Lord.........to the aspiring preacher, "My son, I want you to find a place that will let you get by with as little as possible, require 10% of the academic work of legitimate institutions, call their degrees accredited when the accrediting agency is bogus, and then award you a degree that your peers who have a real degree will snicker about behind your back. Yes, be a good steward." |

Perhaps, but there are two caveats:
1. Rhema may not allow the transfer of non-WOF credits.
2. It would be a great detriment to you theologically. |
