I at one time really liked JH. But in 1982 there were a lot of things floating around about him and Mrs. Nischik, and about DH. I had had some suspicions from when I had gone to Hammond to look at attending HAC. The man worship was so thick in the air it was nauseating. I went back home with an intense distrust of all things Hyles. Then while at MBBC, my then fiance and I were amongst a group of students whom JH was addressing while he was signing Bibles, JH said that we all needed to transfer from MBBC and go to HAC the next semester because Dr. Cedarholm was "losing his mind" (he was starting with dementia) and was bringing in Dr. Weniger from Calvary Baptist in Bloomington/Normal Illinois, and that this move would destroy MBBC. I lost any remnants of respect I had for him at that time. I never spoke to Hyles again.

That was another thing I saw. I had only been a Christian 3 years or so, but in my mind, I attribute it to the work of the Holy Spirit taking the little I knew of the Bible and saying in my heart, see, that's pride, that's arrogance, that's John 5:44 getting honor from each other. "How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?"
I love how you attribute teaching from the Holy Spirit. Not something one hears from Baptists often.
Rice's grandson is a long-time member of the Baptist Board, John of Japan. Greek scholar. Seemed to me to know his stuff. Most of the stuff he posted seemed reasonable.View attachment 4990

The cover jacket of that book looks like it could have been illustrated by J.T. Chick.
I'll bet it doesn't take very long to read this book from cover to cover. Is it still in print?
I would hope not.
It had to have been an extremely thin book. Just like the one Ronald McDonald wrote about eating healthier.
This manual needs to be burned.
This needs to be tossed in a burn barrel.
Go for it!
Or he could toss it in a burn barrel.
You take people here too seriously.
I attended Tennessee Temple University in the early 1970s for a year and wanted to see the comments.
