Before I post this, I want to say that I am not against any higher education. But I do feel that if we do not begin to stress and teach the workings of the spirit in our bible schools as much as we teach the letter of the law, we will help in fulfilling the following.

This is a paraphrased quote by the late Verbal Bean.
"The latter rain (latter splatter) that swept through Pentecost did great damage to many preachers and churches BUT I believe that we will see a far greater harm come in the future, while the latter-splatter was wild and foolish the coming harm will be sophisticated and extremely polished and driven by intellectual powers--this will destroy more than latter-splatter ever thought of destroying."

I think the greatest training a yong minister is going to encounter is a close relationship to his pastor, and use in his local church. The local Pastor should be the one that judges the young mans abilities and readiness for licensing. If he is not, then that is where the root of the problem is.
