Sorry, what is the point of telling us that? Are you saying it is a good thing that IBBF churches sends students to the Springfield campus, or a bad thing? I am in the UK so I have no idea whether the Springfield campus teaches biblically or not.

Yes its very "fundimental" Or at least was.
Yes, I had to ask a previous pastor what the college's name was today. thanks, Brother Salty.

There used to be several Bible Colleges that were BBFI affiliated including Springfield Baptist Bible College (now Mission University), Pacific Coast Baptist Bible College (Now Heartland - moving from CA to OKC). Louisiana Baptist University (my Alma Mater) is also BBFI affiliated and trains SBC preachers as well.

Springfield Baptist Bible College used to be KJVO (I know because I enquired back in the 80s) and I believe that Heartland BBC still is. Interesting that you go on to the home page and the first thing you see is a kid playing a Fender Stratocaster! Such would've been anathema back in the day!

They are a college teaching people to minister within IBBF churches. They are as biblical as any IBF school, probably better than many since they have moved away from a KJV only position.

If you are a Fundamental Baptist you would probably like it. They hold to some Calvinistic doctrines but are not a Reformed college.

I knew one BBFI pastor who told me he was "Calvinistic" but only mildly - I would say that he looked at things with objectivity which I completely respected. Most other BBFI types I have ever run into were adamantly anti-Calvinistic and Louisiana Baptist Theological Seminary is definitely moving in that direction. Perhaps you are thinking more of the "Regular Baptists" (GARBC)?
