Wheter you are preparing for a religious ministry, or you just want to receive a Christian education -and you want to do that online- it is essential to recognise the signs of a good online Bible college. There are some Bible colleges who claim to be supporting the doctrines of the Bible when in reality they are actually endorsing worldly views in their classrooms. At the International Christian College and Seminary (www.iccsonlinebiblecollege.com), you are assured that you will be learning about what the Bible actually says and not a particular sect’s worldview.
So, what are the signs of a good online Bible college? Here you will find a few points that are worth considering when you are looking for the best Christian education.
• They aim to teach the pure Word of God instead of man’s interpretation. Bible colleges are often associated with a particular sect or doctrinal stance on the interpretation of the Bible. For example, there are Baptist Seminaries, and there are also Catholic seminaries. A good online Bible college on the other hand, does not seek to affiliate themselves to a particular class or doctrinal persuasion; they offer an interpretation of the Bible as it is, and not on a particular man’s teaching.
• They have a transparent way of expressing their views. A good way to determine if an online Bible college has an honest approach to teaching is when they can tell you immediatelly and openly what their stance is in their Bible college. At ICCS Online we will provide you with the key points to our faith and will also tell you what our beliefs are. Schools that have a hazy statement of faith or who do not tell you the basis of their faith is are often filled with diverse doctrines which may even include non-Christian ones.
• They have good testimonies from their students. Just as the Bible says that “you shall know them by their fruits,” so can you also tell whether an online Bible school is good through their student’s performance after they graduate. What kind of people do they turn into? How do they explain the Bible and its teachings? If you can see that their students are a living testament to the Word of God as it is written, then you can say that they have really undergone a good Christian education. You will also see it through the feedbacks that students leave on the Bible school’s website.
It is important to know whether you are enrolling yourself at a good school by looking for all the signs of a good online Bible college. A good online Bible school should be able to teach the Word of God as it is, and not based on some particular man’s view, they must be able to show you clearly what doctrines or beliefs they stand for, and they must also be able to bring forth good students who have graduated from their courses. The International Christian College and Seminary is one of these good colleges, and you have the chance to enroll.
