When I was 18 I went to ABI in St. Paul, MN for one year. It was close to Wisconsin where I lived at the time and my pastor, Bro. Lester Thompson, had gone there.
Another school that was recommended to me by someone other than my pastor, was IBC, International Bible College in San Antonio. This school had been established by Leonard Coote who was a UPC missionary but the school was no longer endorsed by the UPC.
There were also UPC Bible schools in Portland (Conquerors Bible College I think it was called), Oregon and WABC in California. Both of them were far away from a farm town in Wisconsin.
When I got to ABI I learned about two other UPC Bible Schools. One was PBI (Pentecostal Bible Institute) in Tupelo, Mississippi and one was AC (Apostolic College) in Tulsa. The general feeling in St. Paul that I picked up was that PBI was "weak on the doctrine" and AC was overly strict on standards --no wedding rings, no caffeinated drinks, only Dr. Pepper allowed.
We in ABI sorta looked down our noses at those "other" schools because we were considered the best taught and soundest in the doctrine.
And? Were you?
