Pensacola Christian ‘Cult’: inside the college shaping America’s private school curriculum

BJU is fully (regionally) accredited. PCC and WCBC are TRACS (nationally) accredited, which is basically worthless. With rare exceptions, a kid trying to transfer college credits from a college like PCC to any regular college or state university, will most likely not get any credits transferred.
Many colleges that these people transfer to will accept them as "life experience" credits, but with diminished credits racked up. I've had several friends who transferred from PCC, WCBC, and others who have had this happen to them. They transferred believing they would get full credit for their credits. Oh well, an extra year or so in college won't hurt them!
 
The Ruckmanite churches in my area (including the one where I was a member) not only strongly identified as IFB, but they rejected all other IFB churches in the area as being not true churches. My experience among the Ruckmanites is that they tend to be extremist nutcases, not only on the Bible translation issue, but on various other issues such as dictatorial preacher rule, Trail of Blood/chain-link succession from John the Baptist, woman's slacks, etc. I would not ever join a Ruckmanite or quasi-Ruckmanite church again. I suppose such churches do some good, but by taking everything to a lunatic extreme, they may be doing more harm than good.

Peter Ruckman is consistently identified as IFB in various references to him on the Internet, including Wikipedia. In the 60s, Peter Ruckman shared a platform with IFB stalwarts, Florida Bob Gray (not Texas Bob) and Hugh Pyle:

I remember hearing him in the seventies. I thought he was a very intelligent, mean spirited nut. Filthy.
