Featured Luther Rice College: Matthew Henry is outdated, but Calvin is not??

Just using their own logic here, for if they see water baptism must be done to get saved, and if Baptist one not legit, then person not saved!

 

You already heard it, per them, the Baptist baptism was not legit, and since one must have a valid water baptism to be saved?

 

Luther Rice is a Southern Baptist school. The name "Luther Rice" is famous in Baptist missions history. He had a great influence in turning Baptists to look at the world harvest fields. He sailed to India with Adoniram Judson, and became a Baptist with him through studying the Bible. Rice then returned to the US to become a missionary statesman.

 

Luther Rice College & Seminary has never had official ties to the Southern Baptist Convention.

Before and during so-called Conservative Resurgence, Southern Baptist Fundamentalists turned to independent schools like Luther Rice, Mid-America Seminary (Memphis), Criswell College, and Liberty.

Liberty and Criswell now have state convention ties (with the alternate splinter 'conservative' conventions that were rolled out in Virginia and Texas, respectively)

Mid-America and Luther Rice still don't, although their constituency is largely Southern Baptist.

Georgia Baptist Convention Schools

 

Thanks for the info. Back in the day (1970's), Tennessee Temple also had a lot of SBC students. Then they actually went SBC before dying.

 

For the record, all faculty at Luther Rice are required to be SBC (unless something has changed with SACS accreditation), even if the school is not an agency of the national or state SBC organization.

Also, Luther Rice himself is buried in Edgefield, South Carolina (a few miles north of Augusta GA), with an obelisk monument marking his grave.

 

SACS may properly require faculty to have terminal degrees from a diversity of schools. However, I don't think they would require a denominational school to hire professors who are not a member of that denomination. What their policy might be for nondenominational or interdenominational schools, I don't know.

 

Yes, since Luther Rice was founded by and is still operated by Southern Baptists, though not an official school of either the national or state convention.

SACS would not likely alter that internal requirement unless (pure speculation) the fact that LRS is non- or inter-denominational might change that. I simply don't know on that point.

 

Yes, you've got to be careful with using academic vs less than academic work. I too was confused at first, wondering how John MacArthur (president of a Seminary) would be counted as "popular" work but not academic work for research papers.

In one of my classes (at Luther Rice) after having written a paper, I realized that I failed to have good citations for the intro, but I had it for the rest of the paper. Oddly, the intro writing came last, not first. I didn't really want to slug through the academic literature yet again for the intro. I *tried* to flubb it and I used Thomas Constable's commentary figuring he was a Dallas Theological professor - surely, he would be okay to cite.

NOPE! POINTS TAKEN OFF! lol Lesson learned!

 

You should have use Charles Stanley as His Dr came from them I believe!
