Can anyone give me any feed back on this college? I'm thinking of taking some online courses with them.

I had visited there many years ago and found them to rub shoulderes with the liberal believers. Moody is modern in belief, separation and music. They are not IFB by any means. They have a huge outreach in their radio ministry, but their stands are far from what DL Moody had preached in his day. They are christian, if that means anything.

Can you give me some specifics regarding how they rub shoulders with the liberals?

I think they are a good college although I do not live in the USA at the moment I have Spoken to a lecturer Named Fred Dickerson who teaches there
heknow alot about SRA/DID/MPD and Spiritual Warfare, I have read some of his books and found
him to know what he is talking about. I highly recomend Moody.......

Thanks, thats 1+ and 1-
They seem to be dedicated to missions for sure...they have thier own aviation dept for flying missionaries in and out of places. -
Moody Bible Institute has stood for truth down through the years, and has equipped more missionaries than any other college. I have not seen anything liberal in their teaching from a theological viewpoint.
They have an excellent correspondence study program. I have taken a few courses just as refreshers, and found them sound...perhaps a little off on eschatology, but I am used to that from many USA colleges.
Cheers, and good studies,

Moody is not baptist, not fundamental, and their college has little in the way of standards or separation. Its heritage is far grander than the present reality.
No ifb'ers have supported Moody since 1960.
THAT SAID, they have wonderful publications and some excellent profs. Know many who have taken correspondence course work and it is first quality.
As long as one knows what one is getting into . . . :eek: -
Hi,
I have taken a few of their correspondence courses. And if you are already grounded in the Word you will recognize error. But, I can say that I have learned alot from my Moody courses. The ones I have taken cause you to study the Word and the instructors are very helpful.

THE MOODY BIBLE INSTITUTE DOCTRINAL STATEMENT (1928)
In addition to distinctives derived from a historic understanding of the 1928 Doctrinal
Statement, the Moody Bible Institute has historically been identified with the positions
outlined below. Although trustees, education administrators, and faculty are expected to
hold these positions, we recognize that we serve and minister with others whose traditions
differ on these subjects. -
Everything I've ever heard about them has been excellent and I knew a girl in one of my old churches who went there and loved it.
Don't pick a place simply on whether or not it's Baptist or IFB.
There are a ton of good Christian colleges that are neither. -
I love to listen to moody radio over the internet and my wife and I are going to Founders Week in February, it will be my first trip to Moody.
-
My husband and I both took courses there back in the early 1980's and one course book did have some remarks/ thoughts that went against my SBC beliefs but as a grounded Christian... I ignored those teachings and learned quite a bit.
Always, always... keep your Bible open and by your books when reading any author or study! Holy Scripture is the ONLY authority! -
Some Baptist schools are in left field too,,,,,,in the bleachers even

quoted by TheOliveBranch;
I have found that their music is a blend of both contemporary and traditional, which appeals to this fundamentalist.
God Bless!!!

I forgot to mention their grading system is different from other universities. They require much higher number grades than others. For instance, in order to achieve an A I believe your average must be 95%. And a B is 87%.
