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"...

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...

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...

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...

So, most of us have heard IFB preachers say that their daughter's first kiss will be after the preacher that marries her says "you may kiss the bride". Has anybody ever heard what their position on their sons might be? Are they to wait as well? Wish that question could have been posed to Jack...

See many of the IFB churches following the same program: Open a church, build a bigger building, run buses and show an increase in attendance, build a bigger building, start an academy, send the kids to an IFB school to get a "degree" that will only be recognized in an IFB academy, start a...

I've been reading (lurking?) the posts for a while and decided to join. I like the preaching at IFB churches but have problems with stuff like encouraging a kid to drop$40-50K on a "degree" that is perfect if the kid is certain that they have been called to minister in an IFB church. I had no...
