Ok, lets all lay our cards out on the table (so to speak). Where did you go to school at? This seems to be a required step at all the school forums...

I will go first...

BA: Sociology: The University of North Carolina at Pembroke

MA: Religion: Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary

MA: Social Studies/History (Dec 08): The University of North Carolina at Pembroke

Additional graduate study: Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary

Mr. Mugs, Louisiana Baptist Universty (LBU) is not accredited regionally or nationally. My PhD, though I had to work for it, is not comparable to a PhD from nearby New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.

LBU is a religious instution that is approved by the BBFI (Baptist Bible Fellowship International), a missionary organization. So I don't want to give anyone the wrong impression about my degrees from unaccredited schools. They serve me well in my ministry as a bi-vocal pastor.

I am always amazed by the number of MAs, MDivs, DMins, and PhDs that post on these type of boards. I suppose all of us "nerds" enjoy discussing issues and debating topics Laughing . In that group, btw, I include those "nerds" who don't have MA, MDiv, DMin, or PhD degrees. A person is born a nerd and does not become a nerd by earning a degree.

As for LBU, don't put down your education. LBU generally has a good reputation and I am sure you worked hard for your degrees. Welcome to the board!!

Ethan, welcome to the forum.

I have to agree with Martin on this one. God bless, my brother.

Brothers, I know the many discussions about accredited versus unaccredited, so I just want to make myself clear. Thanks for you, kind words.

i'd like to someday get a phd from a big brand name...
but they all sound so useless for teaching you to love the Lord...
is there one out there that sounds as good as princeton or oxford but also loves the Lord?

Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary


Those schools are top of the line.
