For Immediate Release:

Florida Bible College has re-started.

Florida Bible College is a religiously oriented, private, coeducational Bible College that was founded in 1962.Florida Bible College has been re-opened. 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, and FBC does not allow its students or faculty to live in sin doing unbiblical things such as to drink alcoholic beverages, use illegal drugs, smoke, or participate in adultry. 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. www.floridabiblecollege.org
