Baron can we confirm this PHd at. Regent?

Confirmed.

Here is a link to an abstract of his dissertation.

Let it be known that neither of these degrees are theological:

Doctorate of Organizational Leadership from Regent University
Master of Arts in Religion from Vanguard University

But he did graduate from Mooney's school (I assume online):
Bachelor of Arts in Theology from Indiana Bible College.

Whatever the graduate level acumen, it's apparent his editorial, newspaper skills aren't quite comparable to even the most modest of journalistic blogs that are out there.

But kudos to him for striving to obtain a higher education.

FWIW - I have 2 friends who graduated with the Doctorate of Organizational Leadership from Regent University, it is not an easy program nor does everyone pass, I know of at least one intelligent educated individual that did not make it through because he did not complete the work on time (No exception was given though he had several personal tragedies that prevented him from completing the work).

Touche'

University taught me how to think, not everything to think.
There is a certain understanding about learning that is transferred via osmosis in these halls of higher learning.

In the sense of content, I've learned as much through life experience, self-study, and being well-read. But the how I learned in school is irreplaceable. And for that I'm thankful for a disciplined program at a legitimately theological school (since that's what I work with mostly).

I remember in Houston, Texas a few years back(an I mean a few) that a lightning bolt hit Richard Heard's pulpit.....boy that would have been a great campmeeting???? Lots of repentance.

If God were judging AFF He could have either struck your power out before you posted anything or struck the servers down. Maybe He has kept us all at home today so we can read more posts.

What is silly is that I wouldn't doubt, had there been a uniqueness to the claim, supernatural intervention if it was a perfectly timed meteor. But this story seems like they are trying too hard to make it into something it is not -- much like they do with the scriptures

Just a coinkidink ....
