DOCTRINAL STATEMENT
 
We believe and teach that:
 
All Scripture (both the Old and New Testaments), as originally written, is the inerrant, complete, and Inspired Word of God.
 
There is one God, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
 
God created man in His image. Man, of his own accord, chose to transgress the will and command of God, thereby separating himself from God.
 
The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. He became man without ceasing to be God, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man.
 
The Lord Jesus Christ died a substitutionary and complete sacrifice for the whole world and only those who believe in Him are saved.
 
Salvation is obtained through faith in Christ alone. Not through any amount of good works or deeds.
 
Baptism, by complete immersion, is a sign to the world of one’s belief, and is not done as a requirement for salvation.
 
All of the gifts of the Holy Spirit are here today. They are used for witnessing and service to the Lord.
 
We are to pray daily, study the Word often, and fellowship with the Church regularly. We are to love others, be humble, and obey God.
 
The time is close at hand when Christ will come for the Church, the entire body of believers, both living and dead. This will happen before the time of the Tribulation.
 
At judgment, the believers, the children of God, will receive their reward. Those who have not been saved will be cast out, into everlasting punishment.
 
RCPI & Bible Seminary, Candace House Ministries and Ruach Chayah Global Ministries are strongly opposed to the anti-christ concept of a one-world government and a one-world Church. We never have, nor will be, a part of the World Council of Churches, National Council of Christian Churches, or any other apostate ecumenical movements.
 
 
OUR MISSION
 
The purpose of the RCPI Bible Seminary (RCPIBS) is to Biblically mentor, equip, and release those who are willing to accept the CHALLENGE of advancement and excellence in the Kingdom of God. RCPI Bible Seminary is an institute without walls, proclaiming the world as our classroom.  Dedicated to providing students with quality and affordable education programs to be effective in Christian service and challenged to reach the world for the cause of the Lord Jesus Christ.
 
It is our goal to provide sound Biblical instruction for advancement and excellence in ministry.  We are committed to TOUCHING NATIONS and EVANGELIZING THE WORLD by equipping and training men and women called into the Gospel ministry and Christian service to serve in EXCELLENCE in their area of ministry, such as Apostle, Prophet, Pastor, Teacher, Evangelist, Missionary, Church Administration, Church Educator, Church Counselor and Church Worker.
 
RCPI & Bible Seminary  was created by, and is a part of, the nonprofit, Ruach Chayah Global Ministries and Candace House Ministries of Columbia, SC. Our mission is to help train and educate those who are called into the service of our Lord in a variety of fields and areas.  We offer both in classroom classes and correspondence courses.
 
Through RCPI & Bible Seminary, we can help to educate you, and even put to work what you already know. The knowledge gained over years of service and experience is used to help you fulfill the degree program you enter. All documented learning and experiences are assessed and compared to the requirements of the degree program selected. In some cases, this alone may satisfy the credit requirements of the selected degree program. However, depending upon the degree level, you will still need to do a Senior Paper or a Master’s Thesis.
 
All of this may be completed in a much shorter time and at a fraction of the cost than it would at many of the larger colleges and universities. Our tuition is already low, making it affordable to nearly everyone. With some of our discounts, the tuition may go even lower. If we don’t have what you need or are looking for, please let us know. Perhaps, one of our other services or programs may be what you’re looking for. If not, perhaps we may be of service in helping you find the right institution.

THE PURPOSE OF HIGHER LEARNING

The Purpose of Higher Learning - is to retain most of what is learned through this type of education.
 
I have developed this information based on “ancient methods,” taught to the worlds spiritual leaders since and before Jesus The Christ. It is a method of truths, and enhancements to methods of truths, and enhancements to communicate this learned “knowledge,” to pass on to “mankind,” and to students seeking higher “Wisdom.”
 
“Wisdom,” is Learning Under Correct Knowledge, of Truths, (L.U.C.K.). A seeker of Truth needs to, and must view all Truths to find the Truth; coupled with discernment. The Truth Shall Set You Free, from unproven dogmas.
 
The mind will absorb all that is read, the trick is to retrieve it into consciousness when needed for use, and then remember where you stored it for future use. This method has worked well for our “Ancient” and current ‘Philosophers,’ and ‘Theologians,’ who have ‘knowledge,’ and wisdom based on self-evident ‘Truths,’ with correct documented science of Body, Mind, and Spirit.
 
Tests, should, be used to teach the student, and not to trick the student. Preceding the test questions is a recap of the text to help the student reticulate. It is not always the quantity of questions asked on a test that is important. But, it is the quality of the test questions, which is important, the meat or heart of the learning, the rest of the writings or lessons are the staples or garnish. “Remember,” One not only should be concerned with what ‘One’ feeds the body for health. “One,” must also be concerned with what ‘One’ feeds the mind for mental health, or mental nourishments. The spirit is housed in the body and is nourished, by both the body and the mind, based on what one feeds the body and the mind, determines one’s spiritual and physical being, valid or invalid, healthy or not healthy.
 
“Remember,” (reticulate) when ‘One’ has eaten a savory meal, in ‘recall’ of that meal, it was the main condiment, which was remembered ‘first’, and then, secondly, the garnish around the savory meal, or main condiment. The ‘mind’, food works the same way as the body food works, food for the body, as food for thoughts, (the mind.) What are nourishments? Only YOU can answer that question! The seeker of truths!
 
Without Wisdom, or LUCK, Learning Under Correct Knowledge, ‘You’ will experience LOCK, locked out, Body, Mind, and Spirit. LOCK, or Lack Of Correct Knowledge, is starvation for the Body, Mind, and Spirit, or starving from lack of Truth, and Wisdom, for half-truths will only fill you half up, from your full nutritional needs, concerning the Body, Mind, and Spirit, or BMS.

THE ACCREDITATION DECEPTION
 
By Dr. P. Bradley Carey
From his book
And The Dead Shall Walk The Earth
 
According to the United States Department of Education, “The United States has no Federal ministry of education or other centralized authority exercising single national control over postsecondary educational institutions in this country. The states assume varying degrees of control over education, but, in general, institutions of higher education are permitted to operate with considerable independence and autonomy…In order to insure a basic level of quality, the practice of accreditation arose in the United States as a means of conducting nongovernmental, peer evaluation of educational institutions and programs.”1
 
The Bible tells us to “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.”2
 
Keeping this Scripture in mind, let’s examine the above statement by the Department of Education and see if it proves good and true.
 
We already saw in this statement that the Department of Education claims that “accreditation arose in the United States as a means of conducting nongovernmental peer evaluation of educational institutions and programs.” The Department of Education has divided the United States into regions. Each region in turn has a Regional Accreditor that accredits schools. These Regional Accreditors get their authorization from the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and/or the U.S. Department of Education's Eligibility and Agency Evaluation Staff (EAES). Now both of these organizations get their authority to “recognize” these accrediting agencies from the Department of Education itself. And as everyone knows, the Department of Education is a part of the United States government. So my question is this, if accreditation is “a means of conducting nongovernmental peer evaluation of educational institutions and programs,” what is the Department of Education, a branch of the Federal Government, doing running the whole thing? This is obviously not non-government involvement in the accreditation system and proves that this part of the statement made by the Department of Education is not true.
 
Their statement also included the following: “The states assume varying degrees of control over education, but, in general, institutions of higher education are permitted to operate with considerable independence and autonomy.” Each state has a Higher Education Coordinating Board, a Postsecondary Council on Higher Education, or some agency along those lines. Their purpose is to authorize a school to award the degrees that it does. If it is a religious school, then they may grant it “religious exemption” because of separation of Church and State. However, the term “religious exemption” does not mean that they will still not control the religious school to some degree. For example, they must first approve all of the degree titles and nomenclature (initials) of those degrees. In many states, they must also have copies of the school’s catalog on file for evaluation, see a list of all course materials and make on site inspections of the school, even if it is solely conducting correspondence courses. There have been examples in the past, where a religious school is offering a degree and a few secular schools will start to offer a degree with the same title. Eventually the state that the school is in will tell it that it may no longer offer that degree or title, even though it was offering it before the secular schools. They will claim that this is to remove any confusion as to if it is a secular or religious degree. This clearly shows favoritism to the secular schools and those that are associated with the Department of Education.
 
 
Now many of these state agencies follow basic guidelines established by the Department of Education. So again we see the Federal Government getting involved and regulating schools, both secular and religious. Now the government claims that they want to have a total separation of Church and State, so if this is true, what business do they have telling a completely religious school what degrees and programs it may and may not offer? What business do they have telling a religious school how to format their catalog if everything they have said in it is completely truthful? So again, this fails the test to prove good and true.
 
Now as for the beginning of their statement, where they say, “The United States has no Federal ministry of education or other centralized authority exercising single national control over postsecondary educational institutions in this country,” in a way that is true. The United States has no ministries. Instead the United States has departments. As we have clearly seen, the United States Department of Education is actually exercising authority over postsecondary education in one form or another, contrary to what their statement claims. So again this part of the statement fails to prove true.
 
The Department of Education, in their book, Nationally Recognized Accrediting Agencies and Associations: Criteria and Procedures for listing by the U.S. Secretary of Education and Current List (September 1996), on pages 9 through 11, have a list of the definitions they use and a meaning for these definitions. We will examine a few of these here:
“Accreditation means the status of public recognition that an accrediting agency grants to an educational institution or program that meets the agency’s established standards and requirements.”3
 
“Accrediting agency or agency means a legal entity, or that part of a legal entity, that conducts accrediting activities through voluntary, non-Federal peer evaluations and makes decisions concerning the accreditation or pre-accreditation status of institutions, programs, or both.”4
 
If these two definitions are true, then any legal accrediting organization is exactly the same as another one, and have no Federal Government involvement whatsoever. However, these definitions are misleading, as the following one clearly shows:
 
“Nationally recognized accrediting agency, nationally recognized agency, or recognized agency means an accrediting agency that is recognized by the Secretary under this part.”5
 
What is meant by the term “recognized” here is that the accrediting organization is following the guidelines and regulations established by the Department of Education, which is a part of the Federal Government. Therefore, this clearly is not being “non-Federal” as the above description for the term “accrediting agency” refers to.
 
It is the Department of Education, as well as these “recognized” accrediting agencies and the schools that they accredit, that look upon other accrediting agencies as less favorable and as being beneath them. It is only those schools that are accredited by a “recognized” accreditor that are eligible for certain Federal funding and programs. This is clearly a violation of the first statement by the Department of Education that I quoted in the beginning.
 
In November of 2000, the Department of Education came out with an Agenda Report entitled, “Learning Without Limits.” In this report they state that it “is a blueprint for the federal role in postsecondary education.”6 So in light of this report, one question comes to mind, what happened to their wanting to keep the Federal Government out of postsecondary education?
 
To anyone who can understand even basic English, there is a definite contradiction between the words and actions of the Department of Education. We have already seen the mess that the Department of Education has made with the elementary and secondary schools, and now, with their expertise, they are trying to do the same thing to the postsecondary ones as well. Is this right? Of course not! It’s time to get the government out of the education business and put it back where it belongs, back into the hands of the people.
 
By controlling the accrediting agencies, they control the schools. By controlling the schools they control the curriculum, who will teach it, and what is required by each individual attending that school. By controlling the curriculum and what is taught, they can control what a person learns and how they will react to certain situations. And as numerous examples in history show, by doing this, you will have people who will say, think, and do whatever you want. Surely this is not what education is meant to be.
