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?

Re: Legitimate Apostolic Colleges
When most Bible schools started it was for the ministry and no one considered secular jobs.
In today's world I'd say get a real degree.
Or make special arrangements.
A medical student attended when I was at ABI. He took a one yr break from his "real" degree and came to ABI. He was permitted to take classes from all 3 yrs programs as was deemed most beneficial.
This is no doubt what they should offer to others..................

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.

I am not saying this to be rude, MTD, but so what? If someone wants to go to Bible School, and can actually find an accredited one among the apostolics, what does it matter to you that they didn't do it that way in the NT? There's nothing wrong with someone wanting to get a religious education apart from what they learn at church. What's sad is that apostolics really don't have many, if any, good choices.

Re: Legitimate Apostolic Colleges
I attend Regent University online (starting my Junior year in August)and I am very happy with My education. If we lived closer I would be happy to attend on campus, but I really don't feel like I am missing anything by learning at home. I am pursuing a Bachelors in Communication with a Minor in Governent, but as part of my general studies, I have had to take 4 courses in what are termed "religious studies",
New Testament Survey,
Mission and Message of Jesus,
Worldviews,
Contemporary problems for Christian Leaders
(also my logic and critical thinking class, as well as science we very Bible based)
All of the courses I take come from a biblical worldview and other then one professor who had a little different opinion on "The Kingdom", I have not had to skew my views in order to attend. They would not be apostolic, but they are very 'oneness, and Pentecostal Friendly'... That is if you can get over the fact that there is a television studio on campus, as well as a large theater... 
Well, and there is also the fact that they teach... <GASP> Law Students!
If anyone is interested, send me a PM and let me know!

No, but they do have penteostal leanings, and a couple of the professors are oneness.
