WHO ARE OUR STUDENTS?

Our students average 35 years or more and are self-supporting. We have a fair mix of male and female, black and white, lay Church workers, part-time and full-time ministers.

They are zealously serving the Lord in their respective callings, ministering in Hospitals, Rest Homes, Jails, Prisons, etc. Some are prominent leaders and officers in Churches of many kinds.

They are involved on the cutting edge of what God is doing in this end-time. Many are serving as Pastors or Assistant Pastors of Churches. Others are engaged in all kinds of Para-Church operations.

The pleasures arising from a right understanding of the divine testimonies are of the most delightful order; earthly enjoyments are utterly contemptible if compared with them. The sweetest joys, yea, the sweetest of the sweetest falls to his portion who has God's truth to be his heritage.

—Charles Spurgeon

WHY GET A DEGREE?

There are some good reasons to pursue a solid Christian education and the degrees that go with it. It’s good to learn something worthy, do something worthwhile, and earn something worth having.

Taking the Bible Courses of The Japan Bible Institute may not make you better than others, but it will make you better than you were. We should continue to grow personally and professionally throughout our lives. Most servants of God could use a little more confidence, and a degree can improve your self-esteem and image. And greater acceptance can be encouraging.

A “Doctor’s” degree is like an overgrown preacher’s card. It can open “Doors” for you to proclaim the message of the Master, which might otherwise remain shut. A “Doctor’s” degree is like an oversized letter of recommendation. It’s a bid for believability, to reassure folks of your principles, ethics, and reliability. It’s not to puff up your ego, but to add a ring of authenticity to your sermon ideas.

A “Doctor’s” degree is like a microphone to boost your voice for Jesus to a world lost in religious confusion. It’s not to make you popular with the world, but to lend credibility to your teaching and preaching. It’s not for any personal vainglory, but just to extend the influence of your ministry of God’s Holy Word.

It can broaden your opportunities for service, and promote your work for the Lord. If a pulpit committee was looking over two pastoral candidates, and most things on their resumes were fairly equal, but one had a Doctor of Theology degree from The Spirit of Truth Institute, and the other didn’t, it would probably tip the scales in favor of the one who had done his homework, and land him the position.

Or, if a Church member invited his boss to your Church, and the visitor inquired about your training, how would it be if your church member had to explain that you had little or no formal education. Thus, a degree could enhance your value to your Church, and promote its reputation in the community.

As a secular degree usually means increased income in the business world, so a religious degree could spiritually benefit you and result in a brighter future for your whole family. Perhaps we should rather ask why anyone would not want a degree, if it can so maximize your potential. Can you be your best for Christ without one.

Welcome to the Japan Bible Institute

We are primarily an “English” Bible College reaching Africa, Asia, and the World. Sometimes our local outreach encourages English-speaking Japanese to study here. Our goal is to spread the True Gospel of Jesus Christ and help those in His service.

This is where you will find rich life-changing, motivating truths that will guide you into finding heartfelt answers to many of life’s unanswered questions and keys for direction, guidance, motivation, and assurance in these uncertain times that we all face. We have personally found God’s Word (The Holy Bible) to be totally reliable and an endless well of total sustenance for inner inspiration and victorious well-being. The Bible is something that we have found we can rely on throughout “all life’s” changing circumstances.

The Japan Bible Institute is an Online Correspondence School. We have no offline facilities or campuses. The Study Materials are in PDF format which can be printed from any printer and we will help you with questions via email. We will conduct some Seminars from time to time and will be happy to notify you of these through our weekly ezine. (Newsletter)

We are here to help empower independent Christian ministers in Japan and around the globe with the tools and backing they need to reach lost souls for Christ. We are here to help you with the challenges you face in preaching the Gospel and want to supply the ministry credentials you need to do the Job.

May God Bless You as you begin the Leap of Faith into Greater Knowledge of our Lord and His Word and Serious Preparation for Service in His Kingdom.

The Bible Courses available from the Japan Bible Institute are similar and in many cases the same used in many 2‾3 year Bible Colleges. They are non-denomination by definition but we will strive to offer additional points of view to give the student a choice in their personal beliefs. Although each student has his divine given right to his beliefs on certain issues we all serve One Lord and are made to Partake of One Spirit and Love is greater than these differences. We at Japan Bible Institute encourage loving interactions in the body of Christ so that we can all together unite to win the World for Jesus!

We have full confidence that you will receive a well-balanced Bible Education at Japan Bible Institute that will enable you to go into the Christian Ministry of your choice and we will help assist you if it is within our capabilities. But as mentioned earlier, it is our hope, joy, and reward that each student will graduate with greater joy, knowledge, faith in the Lord, and dependence on His Word.

Other existing ministries will be added soon.

Only about 5% of ministers in major cities have Doctor Degrees—but it’s rapidly increasing.

If you receive a Doctorate from The Japan Bible Institute, you have a legitimate right to use the title in your public life either before or after your name, such as Dr. Joe Smith, Joe Smith, DTh., or Rev. Dr. Joe Smith. You are honestly and ethically entitled to use your title on your business cards, letterhead, brochures, phone book, road signs, and “Public Service Announcements” in the newspapers if you so choose.

It’s only reasonable and proper for others to address and introduce you as “Doctor so and so…” Your degree will often win you instant respect from most dignified people. It means you have spent hundreds of hours studying hundreds of Bible verses and answering hundreds of questions correctly!

HOW TO RECEIVE CREDIT FOR

YOUR LIFE/WORK EXPERIENCE

Over 2,000 colleges and universities in the U.S.A. customarily award academic credits and/or degrees based solely upon:

1)Transfer of credits from other schools (Free)

2) Documented life/work learning experiences (2 Pages)

3) Writing a thesis and/or Dissertation (Your Testimony of Service)

4) Basically we need to papers, 1) Academic 2) Learning experiences.

– without any coursework whatsoever!

These schools of higher education appropriately grant “advanced standing” upon satisfactory evaluation of a student’s previous study and life/work learning.

The Japan Bible Institute is happy to do the same in order that you may join many others across the nation in attaining your degree goals in record time and saving a lot of money. This widespread practice is based upon the simple premise that a person should get credit for what they already know.

Learning doesn’t take place just in a cubicle or only from courses. One can acquire great spiritual insights without ever setting foot on a college campus. In fact, most of what you know came to you outside a formal classroom setting. The whole world is your university, and everything you see, hear, or do can be an educational experience.

Jesus showed that all life is a seminary and the Holy Spirit is our Instructor. The best-learned lessons are intertwined in our daily walk with the Lord. Granting credit for life work is founded upon the old proverb, “Experience is the best teacher”. You can learn more about preaching by preaching, than from sitting around with an outdated text on homiletics. The idea of on-the-job-training used to be called an apprenticeship.

Therefore, our approach to higher education is that if you have acquired Biblical knowledge and ministerial skills, you’re entitled to receive credit for it. It’s not necessary to retrace foundational doctrinal teaching, which you already know. If you qualify for advanced status, you can skip one, two, or even three levels of our courses.

When you receive a degree for your past study and life work, it is not considered an HONORARY degree, but an EARNED degree!

HOW TO GET STARTED “Quickly”
