The Southern Baptist movement has strict guidelines. Their schools are accountable. Churning out professional pastors. Their not perfect, but look at what they have accomplished?

You are comparing apples and pinto beans. We should indeed have better Bible Schools, and I am sure not against them. I have a close friend whom I have tremendous respect for as a man of God who is a dean at what I consider our best Bible School.
But the Baptists turn out professonal Baptist pastors. Professionalism is a good thing, but that in itself won't turn out an Apostolic preacher. There is a little more to it than what you can learn in a classroom.
You can't compare us to them, as we are in completely different realms. We are in the Kingdom of God; they aren't.
They can do what they do without God being anywhere in the picture; we can't.
Are there things we can learn from them? Sure. Jesus said the children of the world are wiser in some areas than the children of light.
But trying to replicate their stuff would be akin to david thinking he could out-cart the Philistines when it came to Ark moving.
