About this course
About this course
On behalf of the faculty and staff, welcome to Bible Teachers Global Training Center. It is our desire that each student walk into the ministerial call that God has on his or her life. This core course can provide you with a solid background and a deeper understanding of God's purpose for your life. You will learn that the gifts are all administrations of the Holy Ghost and have one mind, purpose and aspiration: to bring the Body of Christ to the fullness of the stature of the man Jesus Christ.
Doctrines of the Bible examines four doctrines that establish the boundaries of what we are to believe and teach:
- The Doctrine of Trinity, what the Godhead really is, and the scriptural phrases that define it.
- The Doctrine of Faith, why Faith is the Holy Ghost, and the scriptures that substantiate it.
- The Doctrine of Contentment, why there is a lack of contentment in the Body of Christ, and Paul's charge to those with earthly riches.
- The Laying On of Hands, the erroneous teachings surrounding this doctrine, and the four ministry formats in which it is manifested.
Who this course is for
Students preparing for ministry, and any believer seeking a solid doctrinal foundation.
