We are claiming victory over the devil. We will no longer listen to doubters of the Word who are a bunch of losers led by the devil himself! Great news. Things are going very well in the board meetings and we hope to have an official press release from the FBC BOT very soon. God is moving in a mighty way at Florida Bible College! We are very excited about the people that God is bringing in to help Florida Bible College including former FBC students, former youth ranch directors and sucsessful businessmen. Please pass on the web address to all of our Florida Bible College family! It is very encouraging to see that so many people care about the future of Florida Bible College! Thank you for the many kind E-Mails and phone calls! God is truly moving at FBC and the devil will not have the victory over FBC.God is so good! Florida Bible College is a religiously oriented, private, coeducational Bible College that was founded in 1962.Florida Bible College has been officially re-started. THE NEED for FBC TODAY IS GREAT. The new board of trustees for Florida Bible College have set into motion a ten year plan and process to re-establish Florida Bible College as a world leader in the crystal clear gospel and solid biblical Education that you can trust. They are believing God for a bright future for FBC! The need is greater today than it ever has been in the past for Florida Bible College. We need your help, prayers and donations to see to it that the "Word of God NEVER leaves the halls of Florida Bible College". Why do we need Florida Bible College? Because the FBC mission is one too great to allow to die. So many lives have been changed for the better for Jesus Christ because of Florida Bible College. Florida Bible College is a school that you can trust. People need Florida Bible College more than ever because FBC was founded on the teachings of the Bible, not man's opinions. FBC lives what it preaches! FBC students are encouraged to have a personal relationship with Jesus, to live a Christian lifestyle, to be productive members of society and local Bible believing churches, to learn the Bible and use it properly, to build healthy relationships with others, and to develop and live by a proper Christian ethic with honor. Pastors today desire students who are well trained in formal biblical Education for preparation to serve in Christian service in the ministry. Florida Bible College provides solid trustworthy well rounded biblical Education based on the Bible , with high standards of accademic excellence. FBC desires to see its graduates trained to reach a lost and dying world through aggressive evangelism and discipleship. Today their are an estimated 4-5 billion people on earth who remain unsaved. FBC is once again needed to boldly proclaim its crystal clear gospel message to reach as many of these billions for Christ who are lost as we can. Sadly, FBC was closed from 1996-2003. In 2003 a ten year process was prayerfully started to restore and re-open Florida Bible College. Florida Bible College was officialy and legally re-opened under the IRS tax code 508 guidelines with the blessings of its founder and retired President Emeritus Dr. A. Ray Stanford on December 14th, 2004. A new board of trustees was established in the fall of 2004 for Florida Bible College, made up of Florida Bible College graduates, sucsessful buisinessmen and leaders of ministries and not for profit organizations. Florida Bible College is a living family of faith, and it is a living organism that exists to: Have a heart for lost people that witnesses to the lost with zeal and shows God's love, forgiveness and compassion to them. FBC faculty , staff and students share with love and compassion the crystal clear gospel with those who are not saved, and trains those who are saved in personal evangelism to be effective soul winners.FBC exists to share the good news of Jesus Christ's death on the cross for each persons sin, and that if we shalt repent of our sins(Change our mind, but not "turn from sin" as all Christians sin, and it is impossible in our old nature/sinful body to 100% turn from sin to the point where we no longer sin, this will not happen until we receive our new bodies after the rapture or after we die),confess,and place our faith in the Lord (We must believe that Jesus himself is Lord God to truly be saved ) Jesus Christ alone, plus or minus nothing, that we can know for sure that we are going to go to heaven when we die. And that is great news! Salvation has been offered to everyone!No matter what we have done, if we will change our minds from unbelief to belief, confess that Jesus Christ is himself the Lord God, and believe that Christ died on the cross and arose from the dead for our sins we can and will be forever saved. Once we are saved we are always saved. We can not lose our salvation, but we also do not have a license to sin. FBC does not believe that saved people have a license to sin. Once a person accepts the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal savior, Florida Bible College disciples and mentors them, and helps them find and join a solid local Bible believing church. FBC is a missions minded school that exists to support missions work and missionaries. FBC believes that only men should be prepared to be senior pastors, but it respects a womans needed role in ministry, and thus prepares both men and women to do the work of the ministry. FBC exists to have healthy relationships with local bible believing churches , and FBC exists to be church planters and supporters of church growth in existing churches. FBC students are doers of the word, not just hearers of the word only. Florida Bible College does not believe that Christian service is a an option for those who are saved, and FBC students serve God not to be saved, but because the saved are called to Christian service, which is the duty of every person who is saved. FBC students not only learn from text books, but they also make practical applications of doing what they learn in class in local churches, ministries and missions. Florida Bible College teaches the crystal clear message of salvation which is offered to all people not just to a called out special select few; the verbal , plenarily, inspired, inerannt word of God; the virgin birth, sinless life ,substitutionary death, physical resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead; and pretribulational , premillenial coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. The views expressed at Florida Bible College are those which are found in the Bible, not man's opinion. Florida Bible College admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin.

Florida Bible College is a living organism, a living family of faith,that shares the clear gospel message with the lost, disciples and mentors believers, and equips them to do the work of the ministry. Florida Bible College values the friendships of the members of its family of faith,however; Florida Bible College exists to do more than to "just remember when" and to hold nice reunions because Florida Bible College exists first to serve its mission to evangelize the lost, share the clear gospel message, disciple and mentor believers, support missions , teach the Bible, and to equip men and women to do the work of the ministry. With an estimated 4-5 billion lost people on this earth today in 2005, it is the duty of Florida Bible College and its alumni to be proactive in seeing Florida Bible College fulfil its mission into the future and that is the way that the founders of FBC set up FBC, to be the Saints, not the devil's aints! ALL Florida Bible College alumni have a duty to support Florida Bible College! It is a great dissapointment that some weak alumni of Florida Bible College who have been influenced by the devil who comes to steal, kill and destroy Florida Bible College , and he has warped and blinded them and has led them to use past sins of those from our family of faith as an excuse for them to exempt themselves from their responsibility to faithfully serve the Lord thru supporting the ministry of Florida Bible College. Although God is using many ministries today, it is wrong to use the work that God is doing with other ministries as an excuse not to support FBC. Sin is wrong, and ALL sin separates man from God. Florida Bible College does not condone sin, and teaches that Christ paid a heavy price for all of our our sins. We are all sinners and none of us can cast any stones at another. When a Christian sins both his/her fellowship with God and his/her fellow man has been damaged. Man must confess and repent of his sins , even after salvation, not to be saved, or to remain saved, but to remain in good standing and to have good fellowship with God and man. When a believer confesses and repents of their sins, it is the responsibility of believers to forgive them and to restore them into the faith.It is sad to see so many bitter Christians who refuse to forgive those who have fallen into sin, even after they have confessed their sins before both God and man. Please pray what part that the Holy Spirit would have you do in the official re-start of Florida Bible College. E-Mail us at: floridabiblecollegedean@yahoo.com ****************************** Repentance is necessary for salvation. The Greek work for "repent" is metanoeo, which translates into English as: "to change one's mind." It does not mean "to turn from sin." That would add works to salvation. Repentance for salvation means a change of mind from men's ideas of salvation and religion, to an acceptance of God's only way of salvation. This results in a completely new creation, not a reformation of the old. The old nature remains as evil as ever after salvation and has not been reformed. The old nature can now be controlled by the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit. God guarantees salvation. This is His gift to us. God guarantees reward and fruit to the obedient son. God guarantees chastening and loss of rewards to the disobedient son. God does not cast out disobedient children, but in some cases, does take them home. He does not permit His children to live as they please without His discipline and guidance. Many teach repentance for salvation incorrectly by including some form of human effort or righteousness, such as willingness to turn from sin, or turning from sin. This is heresy and has confused many people, as it adds works to salvation and causes many to not understand God's great gift. It is probation, not salvation. It is completely unscriptural. It is "Galatianism" and a counterfeit of the gospel. It is a tragedy that many Christians live shallow Christian lives. Florida Bible College is dedicated to the task of training Christian men and women in the importance of total dedication and making Jesus the Lord of their lives - not to be saved - but because they are saved. "Shallow Christianity" cannot be cured by adding works to salvation. Salvation is not the result of what we do, but is by receiving what God has done for us. Acts 13:38,39; Acts 20:20; Gal.1:8.9; Gal. 2:4; Gal. 2:21; Gal. 3:1-3; Gal. 5:1-4; Eph. 2:8-10; II Cor. 5:21;John 3:16-18: Phil. 3:9; Titus 3:5-8; II Cor. 11:13-15 It is every Christians privilege and duty to make clear God's plan of salvation wherever and in whatever vocation he or she may be. Mark 16:15: 1 Thess 2:1. The general plan of salvation in God's Word - in this brief outline - is believed and practiced by Florida Bible College as follows: A. Establish the fact that all men are sinners. Rom. 3: 10; Rom. 3:23: Isa. 64:6; Jer. 17 :9; James 2:10. B. Establish the fact that the penalty of sin is death. Rom. 6:23; Ezek. 18:20. C. Establish the fact that you must be perfect to enter heaven. Rev. 21:27. D. Establish the fact that man can do nothing of himself to obtain this perfection. Eph. 2:8,9; Gal. 2:16; Rom. 4:5. E. Show how God provided a sin-bearer and imputes to man His righteousness. II Cor. 5:21; Phil. 3:9; Isa. 53:6; I Pet. 3:18. F. Establish the fact that man needs only belief in the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Savior for salvation. John 3:16; Rom. 10:9; John 1:12; Acts 16:31. G. Establish the fact that man can be certain of his salvation now, and that his salvation cannot be lost because eternal life is eternal. John 6:37-39; John 10:28; I Pet. 1:5; Heb. 10:10-14; I John 5:13.
