If one is a believer, they receive the Holy Spirit (100%) at salvation. NOT a little now and then a little later. :thumbsup:

The doctrinal statement is in the handbook section.

Some of the faculty have hyperlinks to their information.

To the OP.
Just an idea or two.
Start writing and put it on the web.
It is amazing how fast a large amount of writing piles up over the years.
You could do it as a blog at first, or do a website and blog as well.
Do not discount traveling to speak in churches as you gather some materials to present.
I could imagine wanting a two or three day/evening season of apologetics in a church situation.
I would second the idea of talking with your pastor.
He might have some ideas that the Lord would use in your life.
Just do what you can do now and see where God leads and opens doors.

I chose Trinity because of two reasons; the cost (no tuition) and the theological stance they take. I couldn't afford a degree from a Biola or SES, so I searched for a good online school that I could afford. I did research from several students and even talked to one via telephone several times before committing to the school. I'll have to admit it was well worth it. This school isn't a diploma mill and they state so up front, I'll just have to assume you didn't research much on their site.

==Simply because a college is not accredited does not mean it is a degree mill. You did the right thing by researching the school. If the school helps you accomplished your goals then it has done what you wanted it to do.
==Some will say that, but don't take it personally. Many of us are concerned about the large number of degree mills. I know next to nothing about Trinity (Apologetics) but if you say it is not a degree mill I will take your word for it.
I'm not after a diploma and really don't even care if I get one. I wanted to understand God's word taught from a biblical conservative school, and this one fit the bill. I now feel much more equipped to encourage fellow believers and to challenge fellows like this Joesph we see in here invading every post. I have engaged him as someone asked and will continue to do so if he persists to spread false teachings in here. I hope you now understand why I pursued this degree and I'm kind of sad I even mentioned it now.

==Sadly Joseph has been banned and we can no longer challenge his false teachings.

This school isn't a diploma mill and they state so up front, I'll just have to assume you didn't research much on their site. I had to spend much time in the word and studying various Christian theologians. Please don't try to say I made a mistake by choosing a university that isn't accredited here in the USA for you really don't know my heart.

My apologies, I did not mean to offend.
What threw me for a loop was "Masters diploma" and "Bachelors diploma".
I have never heard those phrases put together like that.
I admit I did not spend much time on the site (it was hard to navigate and not real precise).
I did see that you can receive the Bachelors diploma in less than 2 years, and that also sent up red flags.
I will take your word for it they are not a mill...but can someone answer what a Bachelors "diploma" is? :confused:

We can be full of the Holy Spirit and faith.
Sounds like not all have this though.
At least from what I see in the NT.

You receive the Holy Spirit once, but you can be filled many times.

Thanks for the apology. Since they are from India, their English isn't the best. If you research more it is a degree and you do receive a diploma.
