I have noticed that there seems to be a "business model" for IFB churches. Talking about the ones that are run as a business for profit. Start an IFB. Door to door "soul winning" or get them to recite your pre-scripted prayer. More saves, higher numbers to brag about, even if the "convert"...

Doesn't Bro. Tony give cufflinks to preacher boys he likes? Something about a man giving another man jewelry that doesn't seem right.

Berean Baptist College, a unit of the Berean Baptist Church. Both affiliated with the Neal Syndicate and both ran into the ground by "Dr." Greg Neal.

Last time I looked at the faculty list most of the faculty were graduates of Berean Baptist College, the prior Neal syndicate scam. Greg Neal's wife is on the faculty. No degree but she is qualified to teach college classes (?). One of the courses that is taught is "Decoration for special...

Under the direction of Doctor (not really) Greg Neal they have a graduate of Berean Baptist College (the prior Neal family scam) as VP and his wife as dean of women. Greg will likely be advisor to those wanting to major in videography. No mention of Camaron Gianovelli (however it is spelled). No...

I would say KJV only would be limiting God's Word to only those that can read and comprehend late 16th-early 17th century English. No document can be translated word for word into multiple languages with the results being identical other than the language. Is a person lead to salvation by the...

A Bible college is a pretty expensive dating service.

One of the courses listed in their catalog is "Decorating for Special Events". I'm sorry, but you can take courses like that at Michael's or Hobby Lobby. Just one reason these church revenue generating schools are not taken seriously. The faculty members are mostly family and staff from Immanuel...

Is it strange to anybody but me that so many of the IFB churches are family run for generations? I have seen many IFB pastors that had their sons called to preach and called to be the associate pastor at their dad's church. Hyles, Neals and Fugates come to mind. So many also have "academies" and...

I spoke to a young lady yesterday that told me she was going to NFBC "if she is accepted". She applied but hasn't heard back from them yet. I didn't tell her about the Neal's history of scamming schools and that they are probably waiting to see if they get enough students to actually open. She...

I guess Greg Neal will have to say that Cameron left Immanuel Baptist to go into a prison ministry. Just like all mention of Berean Baptist College disappeared after Greg Neal ran the family business aground, all mention of Cameron has disappeared from the latest scam "North Florida Baptist...

A just sentence? In my opinion, no. Often times a plea bargain is done after weighing the chances of conviction, the costs of trial (both mental to the victim and financial to the taxpayer) and other factors. Hopefully, the prosecutor discussed the deal with the victim and she was given a chance...

A school doesn't care where the money comes from just as long as they get theirs.

My former preacher used to go on about working on Sunday. Discouraged the young people from pursuing a career that would have them work on Sunday or Wednesday evening. He said "let the unsaved people do those jobs". He also preached that we should go out door to door soul winning because...

Perhaps Greg Neal will video the trial. I know, that was uncalled for.
