Of course, Sir. I am always happy to help keep people updated on the goings-on of Fundamentalist higher education. Regarding your comments on "indoctrination" and online enrollment, I would have to disagree somewhat with your conclusions. Your principles are sound---those who study at IFB...

Providence Baptist College: 100 (approximately) Commonwealth Baptist College: 150 (approximately) West Coast Baptist College: 900 (approximately) Crown College of the Bible: Slightly more than 500 (including the Crown School of Trades and Technologies, which has been doing more and more of...

What year did the incident at MBBC occur? Did Jack Hyles really speak that way about Dr. Cedarholm from the chapel platform of MBBC?

Pastor Kingsbury was a Hyles-Anderson graduate from the early days. He graduated sometime in the mid-to-late 1970s, I believe. Unlike some, Kingsbury kept up his affiliation with Hyles-Anderson for years. Johnny Pope and Paul Kingsbury were very close companions in the ministry through the...

Added Jimmy G. Tharpe and Art Wilson to the collection this past month. I also contacted Caleb Garraway to see if he would ever consider authoring a Jim Vineyard biography, but he has not responded to my inquiry.

"The Israel Year"?

Yes, I do. I have combed through Fundamental Baptist Books' inventory on multiple occasions.

Not a problem at all. Thank you for the willingness to apologize, though. Would you know of any specific biographies, Tarheel Baptist?

How sad. Some people are just born to manage, not lead. Vineyard's success at Hammond and Thomas Road seems to indicate that he was one of those men. The former pastor of my church who was the Executive Vice-President of OBC was there from 1979 to 1986. According to what you have said, am I...

I never knew that Windsor Hills broke 5,000 in attendance. What was their average attendance during the "glory days"?

Why did he leave Thomas Road? Here is an interesting tidbit for you all. One of the former pastors of my church was the Executive Vice-President of Oklahoma Baptist College from 1979 to 1986. He must have known Jim Vineyard quite well.

Thank you, Sir! I have added the J. R. Graves title to my list. Unfortunately, Fundamentalism has done an horrific job of preserving its history. So many in Southern Fundamentalism ("the IFB") send their prominent people down the "memory hole," as it were, once they fall from the favor of their...

Please do not misunderstand me. Jim Vineyard was perhaps one of the worst "big-name" preachers in the IFB based on morality and personal conduct (J. Frank Norris, Jack Hyles, and Bob Gray of Jacksonville would probably surpass him in the rankings.) Reading his story would be interesting...

Somebody within the WHBC/OBC orbit should write a biography of Jim Vineyard. No matter what you think of the man, he certainly lived an exciting life and participated in some of the biggest "circles" of the IFB during its heyday.

Hello. I am new to the Fighting Fundamental Forums, and I am very excited to be here. For several months now, I have followed the activity on this forum. My observations are that there are numerous Fundamental Baptists (or former ones) who are active members. That is the main reason why I...

Dr. Matthew Davis has more qualifications than just being "a lawyer with the Christian Law Association." He graduated in Maranatha's Class of 1996 before transferring to Southern Illinois University School of Law where he received his Juris Doctor. Dr. Davis served with the CLA for ten years...

This decline is true, although manifested as a percentage it does seem startling. I searched back into my archives, and I found the report that Dr. G. B. Vick gave at the 25th Anniversary festivities during the Commencement week at Baptist Bible College in May 1975. "Baptist Bible College has...

Interesting. When I visited the BJU campus with some teenagers from my church in 2014, the recruiters boasted that they had 4,500 students on campus during the 2013-2014 academic year. Naturally, I assumed that the approximately 2,400 people the University now has represented a precipitous drop...

Does anybody on the Fighting Fundamentalist Forums personally know any graduates of Commonwealth Baptist College? The youth pastor and Christian school principal at my church attended CBC for four years, as did his wife. We just brought in a new couple this past June to teach in the school that...
