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.

Free Degrees

In the past we tried to offer truely free degrees but the quality was low and some folks would use a zerox machine and try to use them to get college credits and we would get nasty letters from those colleges. So we discontinued. You still recieved the course but not the degree. So we wanted to try something new. The course will be the same “Harvestine” and it will equal a Bachelors Degree of your choice.

Basically we will print everything out and then scan them to give you the highest quality

This will include 1. Degree 2. Transcripts 3. Explination letter explaing why this is scanned and that the Japanese mailing system isn’t mailing everywhere yet due to Covid.

These will be in pdf format for better printing

These will also look great on nice thick printing paper. Due to the time and materials being used there will be a charge.

We were asking $70 to cover costs and time. If you want the Degree and Transcripts mailed to you we will give you a special price of $170.

Justification

1. Those God effectually calls he also freely justifies.1 He does this, not by infusing righteousness into them but by pardoning their sins and accounting and accepting them as righteous.2 He does this for Christ’s sake alone and not for anything produced in them or done by them.3 He does not impute faith itself, the act of believing, or any other gospel obedience to them as their righteousness. Instead, he imputes Christ’s active obedience to the whole law and passive obedience in his death as their whole and only righteousness by faith.4 This faith is not self-generated; it is the gift of God.5

1Romans 3:24; 8:30. 2Romans 4:5–8; Ephesians 1:7. 31 Corinthians 1:30, 31; Romans 5:17–19. 4Philippians 3:8, 9; Ephesians 2:8–10. 5John 1:12; Romans 5:17.

2. Faith that receives and rests on Christ and his righteousness is the only instrument of justification.6 Yet it does not occur by itself in the person justified, but it is always accompanied by every other saving grace. It is not a dead faith but works through love.7

6Romans 3:28. 7Galatians 5:6; James 2:17, 22, 26.

3. By his obedience and death, Christ fully paid the debt of all those who are justified. He endured in their place the penalty they deserved. By this sacrifice of himself in his bloodshed on the cross, he legitimately, really, and fully satisfied God’s justice on their behalf.8 Yet their justification is based entirely on free grace, because he was given by the Father for them, and his obedience and satisfaction were accepted in their place. These things were done freely, not because of anything in them,9 so that both the exact justice and the rich grace of God would be glorified in the justification of sinners.10

8Hebrews 10:14; 1 Peter 1:18, 19; Isaiah 53:5, 6. 9Romans 8:32; 2 Corinthians 5:21. 10Romans 3:26; Ephesians 1:6,7; 2:7.

4. From all eternity God decreed to justify all the elect,11 and in the fullness of time Christ died for their sins and rose again for their justification.12 Nevertheless, they are not justified personally until the Holy Spirit actually applies Christ to them at the proper time.13

11Galatians 3:8; 1 Peter 1:2; 1 Timothy 2:6. 12Romans 4:25. 13Colossians 1:21, 22; Titus 3:4–7.

5. God continues to forgive the sins of those who are justified.14 Even though they can never fall from a state of justification,15 they may fall under God’s fatherly displeasure because of their sins.16 In that condition they will not usually have the light of his face restored to them until they humble themselves, confess their sins, plead for pardon, and renew their faith and repentance.17

14Matthew 6:12; 1 John 1:7, 9. 15John 10:28. 16Psalms 89:31–33. 17Psalms 32:5; Psalms 51; Matthew 26:75.

6. In all these ways, the justification of believers under the Old Testament was exactly the same as the justification of believers under the New Testament.18

18Galatians 3:9; Romans 4:22–24.
