Faith Bible College International — Local services in Charleston

I must preface by saying, they are as much my brothers in Christ as those who have been called by God in this, our, faith which we are stewards of by His grace alone. Yet, I see great concerns in the doctrines taught and believed here. In my time there, I was exposed to doctrine Paul expressly warned us against in his letters. The 'Word of Faith' doctrine/movement is string there, which is the 'Name it and Claim it' idea. Another concern I saw is the prosperity gospel that is saturated within the body there. Wealth and health is not the gospel, and if that is what you belive, you have another gospel, not the Gospel of Christ; which we have come to belive in by grace through faith in the rightful purpose of God's plan. There is also a heavy fixation on the gifts, and sadly not using them to edify the body, but oneself. The fixation also has a bit of a gnostic taste to it, and there is also a 'manifest it' attuide, which goes in direct opposition to the Word. Yet, I must say, the classes were not terrible, though leave room from further thinking. I wouldn't not recommend this school for those who want to go deep in their faith, only to those, cautiously, who want to be introduced to, and learn the basic beginnings, of the faith they have been called into. For it is a bit shallow, the preaching and teaching. It is very much a pentecostal school, go in knowing that, or see the stars. There's more to say, but more than that is love. Leave not your first love, by whom you were called and predestined to believe by His grace supreme and mighty. And stand firm in the faith by which you first heard and believed, not leaving going astray to strange men and false doctrine. I write this as an acknowledgment and our of love, not estranged hate. Grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ...

After paying all of my tuition upfront, I was kicked out of school for getting married after only 3 weeks. Their rules are extremely dated. One of the worst decisions of my life.

Yes. 2013. Just...

I grew up in the yellow house across the street, back when it was called Higgins Classical Institute. I have some great memories...
