Legitimate Apostolic Colleges

Do y'all know of any legitimate Apostolic colleges? You know, the kind that are actually accredited, with degrees that are accepted by employers? I found one college that offers a degree for $200!! What kinda bogus education is that? Is that the best we can come up with for higher education?

Re: Legitimate Apostolic Colleges

Does anyone know if Great Lakes University is accredited now? I think it's been four years since they started.

$200.00 would be a blessing after you've spent nearly $100K

I can not fathom getting a decent education for $200. It doesn't make any sense. In my opinion, any college that offers a degree for that kind of money is nothing more than a diploma mill.

What happened to learning the Bible from the Elders of the Church? Are Elders not teaching the whole counsel of God? If they are NOT how did they become an Elder?

There's nothing wrong with that route. There's nothing wrong with wanting to go to some sort of college either. Wasn't Daniel (the one in the Bible) part of some school for prophets or something of that nature?

There was a school of the Prophets in the OT. That is seen in the NT in the ministry of Yeshua teaching the Apostles. Then it is seen in the Elders teaching the Church. It is NEVER seen as people coming and paying a set sum to be taught the word of God.

No one went that route in the New Testament Church.

Re: Legitimate Apostolic Colleges

I taught my kids that if they wanted to go to bible college, they should go to a secular college first and get at the least an Associates degree in a usable field, and then go on to bible college. With all the options for distant learning degree's, I wouldn't recommend anyone go to bible college first. You can always do your bible learning via distant learning after you finish secular college and get settled into a job.

But that is just my opinion.
