The Scriptures
The Divine Godhead
The Gospel of Christ
The Plan of Salvation

Recognizing false doctrine
This 98% pure systematic Scripture presentation is offered without human comment or personal explanation, because the Bible is it own best interpreter, expounder, and commentator.

We have selected the best passages to give you a broad overview and working knowledge of the whole Bible.

NOTE:
The next two courses really go together and are highly recommended for all beginning Evangelists and Pastors, to learn as much as possible before they launch any kind of ministry, to help them cope with typical problems. Well-experienced ministers can also get a lot out of the variety of subjects, which can fill in any holes in your knowledge and increase your understanding of up-to-date practical ministry involvement. The array of information, revelation, impartation, and activation can propel you out of the ordinary into the realm of the extraordinary. The following is just a fraction of the contents of these courses.

It seems that most of the students that the Lord sends us make good grades.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
It takes a year just to get in some colleges. Then its degrees are locked into a time-served system. It can take up to six years to receive a Doctorial degree from some universities. But hanging around a campus five or six years doesn’t necessarily make a person more successful than someone else who completes his or her studies in a fraction of the time. Total time elapsed is not the main ingredient of learning.
For instance, Jesus completely trained the Apostles for tremendous miracle ministries in less than 3 1/2 years. This is because our spiritual walk is not controlled by the calendar or subject to the clock. The operation of the Holy Spirit supersedes both time and space.
Therefore, The Japan Bible Institute does not follow a set semester schedule. We operate continuously year round. Whenever you’re ready for us, we are ready for you. The Lord is doing a quick work in these last days. Rom. 9:28 So The Japan Bible Institute has an intensive and accelerated program of study. Our courses are so time-tailored that you could complete them in a relatively short span.
You study on your own schedule, and proceed at your own pace. As soon as we receive your application and fee, we will mail your courses to you, and you can begin to study. As soon as you complete the course, prescribed papers, and pay the proper fee, you immediately receive your degree all in record time
CLASSROOM VS. HOME OFFICE
Considerable time can be used up getting to and from a classroom, and more time can be consumed assembling, hearing comments about the weather, the latest gossip, non-applying announcements, and other sidelines. Then, the teacher might be sick and not show up.
Traditional theological education can tend to isolate students in a cloistered environment that detaches them from involvement in vital Gospel work among sinners. Thus, graduates become groomed as “keepers of the aquarium”, rather than “fishers of men”.
Would you rather repose in an artificial cubicle a few years and get a traditional degree, or pursue a relevant active ministry, and get a non-traditional degree from The Japan Bible Institute at the same time for about ten percent of the cost?
Learning is no longer limited to the old fashioned four walls, because God has raised up a number of worthy educational resources such as The Japan Bible Institute. You can receive a legitimate degree without stepping foot on a college campus or into a university classroom. It’s possible to earn your accredited Bachelor’s, Master’s or Doctorial degree right in the comfort of your own home. What difference does it make WHERE you read a book? The key to retaining information is repetition. But a classroom lecture is usually said and gone; whereas The Japan Bible Institute study ebooks can be reviewed as often as you wish.
