Myles Young - Assembly of God Student
 

According to the Apostolic School of Theology website C. Myles Young is completing a Master of Arts in Theology degree from the Assembly of God School of Theology in Springfield, MO.

I would think this association with a trinitarian institution of higher learning would have some Worldwide Pentecostal Wrestling Fellowship members concerned as conservative Oneness Pentecostals tend to demonize trinitarians and AOG's in particular.

I thought this was an interesting bit of public trivia.

While not the same school as the AOG Seminary, my niece is attending the AOG Evangel University.

Oh, you didn't know? Miles is the Pastor of the Rock Church in Sacramento.:gotcha :gotcha

Re: Myles Young - Assembly of God Student
 

Oh, you know C. Miles Young. He's the man who walks like this......

You mean you weren't sitting on the edge of your seat wondering about all the happenings of Miles C. Young? I'm shocked! Come on, these people are important, Sam! Get with it!:ursofunny

Re: Myles Young - Assembly of God Student
 

What does it matter? People have been getting degrees from secular colleges, protestant schools and various other programs. Is this really newsworthy?

Perhaps the only things noteworthy, is that he isn't getting his Master of Arts from their church's own sponsored Bible College.

Yeah, I don't see the big deal either other than it's probably high-priced, academically-rigorous, probably accredited here in the states and by some reputable theological institution - and teaches from a MAINSTREAM Pentecostal theological perspective.

I'd rather save a buck and attend an institution that is inclusive of other theological perspectives and is big in Africa.

Take DBK (http://www.newlifeupc.org/about/our-senior-pastor) for instance -

Bernard's alma mater for the doctorate he's working towards - a ThD in New Testament is with University of South Africa's distance learning program.

Which also offers distance degrees in Judaism and Islamic Studies.

http://www.unisa.ac.za/

Its also pretty cheap.

Priced in Rands.

Even with our deflated dollar. One Rand is about 13.6 cents.

And, it's no diploma mill. It is well respected within the continent of Africa.

"Market research has shown that Unisa is rated as one of the top universities in South Africa (2001) [1] - Unisa qualifications are sought after in the marketplace."

As for accreditation - "Internationally, Unisa is listed in the Commonwealth Universities Handbook of 1999 and also in the International Handbook of Universities of 1998.

On 12 January 2002 UNISA was granted full institutional accreditation from the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC).

The accreditation lapsed in March, 2007, and UNISA did not pursue renewal."

Why attend a college whose belief statement promotes three Gods when I could attend a fine cosmopolitan institution like UNISA and be a big fish in a small pond?

Where do I register and matriculate?

CC1, you'd do great as a reporter for National Inquirer.:ursofunny

Sounworthy, I don't think CC1 is being that gossipy. It is a fair question as MY and his band of merry men condemn Trinnies to the fiery pits of hell. I am certain this is more of a covert mission by Myles to convert the AG's academia to the incontrovertible and plain to see truth. I have know doubt he has made inroads with his schoolmates and has influenced his professors to abandon their pagan theology. Very soon we will hear reports of the long awaited revival among the AG and conflicting stats of how many have been baptized in the only saving proper anglicized name and how many have been born of the Spirit by speaking in tongues. Oh wait, they have the HG, don't they? Anyhoo, kudos to MY for being a city on a hill as a missionary to the churched without the Message. I commend him especially if he is endeavoring this through distance learning and evangelizing on his TV-ready computer. Eternity hangs in the balance.
