As has been often said, reading threads on this forum is an excellent way to learn the scriptural reasons why others believe the way they do. This forum is truly a blessing.
Many of you have graduated from a Bible school and then have furthered your training/education at seminaries. I was just wondering something about the education that you received there about opposing viewpoints, primarily baptist vs CT.
I would imagine (hope) that the main thrust of your education was to teach what the Bible says. If you're at a baptist college/seminary, you'd primarily learn the scriptures from the baptist perspective and if you're at a reformed college/seminary from the reformed perspective.
A well-rounded education in preparation for the ministry would give you some exposure to the other systems, though not to the same depth. Looking back on your experiences at bible college and seminary, do you feel that the "opposing view" was presented accurately and fairly, or was it presented more from the perspective of that university? (ie., CT viewed through baptist glasses and baptist theology viewed through CT glasses).
