GENERAL
INFORMATION
___________________________________________________
HISTORY Of All Nations Bible College & Seminary
All Nations was birth in 1975 as Tabernacle Bible Institute. Over the past decades the college has gone through a number of name changes and locations, but always continuing to fulfill the Great Commission of making disciples of all men and women.
Today the college has 4 major programs for those who want to study with the college.
- Take classes on campus as well as being proctored for classes not offered in the classroom.
- Take classes by correspondence.
- Take classes at one of the many Extensions of the college around South Carolina and some in other states.
- PROCTORING: This is a program for students in driving distance who are not able to attend classes, or the class may not be offered except by PROCTORING or Correspondence. In this program of proctoring the student is assigned to a professor who meets with the student one or more times a month or longer. During these sessions the student decides how many courses he wants to work on and is given a measure of the work in each to take home and do the work. When the student is finished with the assignment he returns, meets with the Proctor,turns in his work, and receives new assignments. Under this program, the student works at his own pace. He can do courses in double the time and therefore complete a degree in half the time of normal classes, or he can take all the time needed to complete his work.
WHO ARE THE PEOPLE WHO TAKE CLASSES AT ALL NATIONS?
- People who have a calling to the ministry and want to attend a training school where they are a name and not a number.
- People who are called into a ministry of serving the Lord as an office worker, musician, Sunday School teacher or any other area of Christian service and helps or, just desire to increase their knowledge of the Bible.
- People of all ages who want to take time out in order to study God’s Word and seek real direction and God’s will for their lives.
- Individuals who desire preparation for the mission field.
- Those who have a calling as an Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist or Pastor-Teacher.

The mission of ANBC&S is to glorify God by assisting the Church to evangelize the world in this generation, through helping God’s people grow in spiritual maturity, Bible knowledge and ministry skills. The College and Seminary is open to all denominations. Those who are called to the ministry may also at graduation request Licensing or Ordination.
LICENSE AND ORDINATION
The Restoration Fellowship of Churches and Ministers, International will license graduates whom are deemed to be spiritually mature and have a gift of ministry. All credentials are issued at the Annual Convention or at Graduation. We are a Trinitarian Fellowship.
GOVERNING BODY
All Nations is under the authority of a Board of Trustees which is a duly recognized church and non-profit organization. It is subject to the by-laws of the church and college and is governed by its Trustees. The Board of Trustees establishes the overall policy for operation of the college and gives guidance to those in administrative capacities
FACILITIES

OPERATING EXPENSE
The operating expenses of the College are only partially met by the student Registration Fees. Additional financial assistance from friends, graduates and supporters of the College has enabled its continued operation.
Your financial support is invited and will be gratefully received. Contributions in the form of cash, securities, bonds, real estate, annuities or insurance are appropriate. For those desiring to remember the College in their wills, a suggested provision for incorporation in your will will be mailed upon request.

SUSPENSION
Any student may be suspended at the request of the administration
for conduct which is out of harmony with the philosophy of ANBC&S.
GRADING SYSTEM
A Excellent 93-100 I Incomplete
B Good 85-92 WP Withdrawal, Passing
C Average 75-84 WF Withdrawal, Failing
D Passing 70-74 NC Non-Credit (Audit)
F Failure 0-69
An incomplete is given when a student, because of prolonged illness or other circumstances beyond his control, is unable to complete his work before the end of the semester. An Incomplete grade must be made up within six (6) weeks or the grade automatically becomes a Failure. A Failure cancels any credit and a required course must be repeated for graduation requirements.
DEAN’S LIST
Any full-time student who achieves all A’s in any given semester will be recognized by the Dean’s List.
NO DISCRIMINATION POLICY
All Nations Bible College & Seminary complies with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (PL 88-353) and all regulations adopted pertinent to such Title VI, to the end that no person shall, on the grounds of race, color or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefit of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any program or activity of CBC.
LIABILITY POLICY
All Nations Bible College & Seminary is not responsible for any injury incurred by students while in attendance at ANBC&S. At this time no student insurance is provided by the College.
INFORMATION FOR VETERANS
The College has been certified in the past for VA students most of all the years that we have existed and had tuition costs. Since we no longer charge tuition, it would be of no use for Veterans to apply for benefits to pay for tuition so we no longer apply for VA assistance.
Page 9
ABSENTEE POLICY FOR THOSE ATTENDING CLASSES
A student is considered absent when he is not in attendance in a regularly scheduled day. Three (3) tardies = one (1) absence; an absence of less than an hour (tardy) will be counted as a full hour of absence. When the total hours of absence have been converted to days of absence, a fraction of one-half or less will not be reported. However, if the fraction is greater than one-half, it will be reported as a full day of absence. When the absenteeism exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the class sessions in any given term, the student forfeits all credit unless the student desires to be Proctored instead of attending classes.
RE-ENROLLMENT POLICY
Students who have had their training interrupted because of excessive absences to classes may move to Proctoring from Class attendance in the next semester. A student who has had his training interrupted for excessive absences caused by an emergency or emergencies such as personal illness or death in the immediate family, jury service, etc., may re-enter training upon presentation of acceptable evidence to the College. Such evidence will be made a part of the student’s file.
LEAVES OF ABSENCE
Students who need extensive leaves of absence due to military service, family problems, work issues, health issues, may continue with the program enrolled by becoming a Proctored studen
ACADEMIC PROBATION
Students who seek to earn a degree must maintain a 2.0 [C] average to graduate and if a Masters or Doctor program they must maintain a 3.0 [B] average in grades.
SEMESTER GRADES
Furnished to all students at the end of each semester.
Let all things be done decently and in order. 1 Cor. 14:40

REQUIREMENTS
___________________________________________________
Classes are open to all people, regardless of sex, creed or color. If any person, regardless of denominational background, desires to learn the Word of God and the manner in which to present it more effectively; All Nations provides a well-balanced program for the training of ministers, missionaries, full-time Christian workers and laymen.
Since passing a proficiency examination in English is a requirement for graduation, each student will be given one at the beginning of his program if the student is Degree Seeking.
The following is a list of pre-admission requirements which must be completed before an applicant can be accepted as a full-time student for a Degree Program. The requirements of Part-time students, those who are just taking classes for personal growth only requires a simple application filled out and to register for courses desired.
HOW TO APPLY: If DEGREE SEEKING
- To request application forms and instructions, write a letter addressed to: Director of Admissions, All Nations, PO 2160, M.B. , S.C. 29578 OR YOU may call and make an appointment to come and register by calling 832-945-1287 or email: rmiller7000@yahoo.com
- Send or bring us your completed application form, a recent full-face photograph.
- Have transcripts of your high school or former college or General Education Development (GED) scores sent to us. Remember, all transcripts must be sent directly from the school to us.
PART-TIME STUDENTS: INCLUDES THOSE WHO JUST WANT TO ATTEND CLASSES FOR PERSONAL GROWTH.
Part-time students are defined as students who take under 12 semester hours per semester. Part-time students must comply with the General Rules of the College. Part-time students who do not wish to be graded or to receive credits for courses taken are listed as part-time auditing students. In order for a part-time student to use an accumulation of credits earned towards a degree, the student must fulfill the entrance requirements of a full-time student.THIS can be done at a later date.
TRANSFER OF CREDITS:
ANBC&S is a Bible-believing, Bible-training school. The curriculum is designed for maximum benefit to those who complete the full course of college training. However, we have had other colleges and universities accept credits from ALL NATIONS. IN FACT, we have nearly 200 who will accept credits in our Accrediting agency. If you need to know about a school in a particular state or country check with the Academic Dean.
We will accept credits earned from other post-secondary schools when the credits correspond to courses currently offered by us.WE ALSO WILL GIVE LIFE CREDIT [LE] TO STUDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN IN ACTIVE MINISTRY.
Page 11
FOREIGN STUDENTS APPLYING FOR AN F-1 VISA
All Nations has trained students from over 53 nations. For about 20 years of our over 40 years of existence, we helped foreign students to get visas to come to the USA. After many experiences of seeing how students would come and then would not want to return to help their country, we no longer desire to support foreign students in a visa application.
We are glad that each year since we stop helping with visas that we have attracted individuals who are in the USA from other countries and are here with a Green Card or permament status. We have averaged students from 4-5 countries per year since we stopped helping with Visas.
Now that we have changed our goals, instead of bringing students from other countries to the USA to train them, we are now going to the countries where we have graduates who have returned to their country. We are helping these Grads to ESTABLISH Bible Colleges so that their people can be trained at home and do the work of God. The Lord has a reason for why each person is born, and for why they are saved in their country. When a person forgets their country and wants to remain in the USA, not for the purpose of full time ministry, but for the purpose of “Making Money”, they may be out of the will of the Lord. If that money is supporting others in their country, then maybe they are suppose to be here. Otherwise, they simply used the Bible College as a means to an end for themselves. Those who graduate, and continue to support the mission programs of the college, show that their hearts are in the right place and that they appreciate the opportunity they have been given.

STUDENT
ACTIVITIES
___________________________________________________
LIFESTYLE
We believe that the Bible is the authority for what we teach and how we live, so our training program emphasizes the development of the whole person. We practice a lifestyle that is aimed at helping students understand and apply the implications of Scripture in daily life.
Our standards are not viewed as measurements for all Christians in all cultures, but they do represent a thoughtful application of Scripture and godly wisdom to our specific social and cultural situation. This lifestyle represents a continuing quest to bring our corporate life into conformity to the mind of Christ and to prepare the student to serve Him as Lord.
Personal godliness is a high priority for every student.Students are encouraged to have a time set aside each day for personal fellowship with God. Students are encouraged to associate themselves with a local church for fellowship and service. Sunday is a day of worship, rest and ministry. The use of tobacco and alcoholic beverages is not permitted on school property or at school events. Narcotics, hallucinogenic drugs, and marijuana are considered
dangerous to the students health and all are encouraged to avoid these things. We fully recognize that what a student does outside of the classroom is their personal life. WE do not want the college to hold a judgmental or Pharisee type of attitude towards anyone. EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD IS WELCOME AT ALL NATIONS. You may hear teaching you disagree with, but you will find that love covers all things and we are able to disagree, but always stay in love and in a spirit of mercy and grace and kindness.
We hold these standards in an atmosphere which encourages the students to have an examination of their Biblical foundation and have free interaction with faculty. We look upon obedience as an important part of the learning experience at All Nations Bible College & Seminary, and as an encouragement to each student to develop his own Biblical and Christ-pleasing lifestyle.
It is expected that a student’s house be in order while he is being trained for ministry.
HOURS OF CLASSES
Classes begin normally at 9:30 a.m. each day, Monday through Friday but each semester sets its own agenda for classes and one should check the schedule for the semester to see when classes are offered. Night school classes can begin as early as at 5:00 p.m. Each class is 50 minutes in length, unless otherwise indicated in the schedule.
Page 18
CLASS ATTENDANCE
It is the opinion of the administration that it is a privilege to be a student. Therefore, we encourage your attendance to any classes you sign up for because the teachers work hard to prepare their material for you and your class.
CHAPEL
Occassionally we will offer special worship services and will encourage students to try and attend when possible.
NIGHT SCHOOL
Night School classes are offered on Monday, Tuesday, and sometimes on Thursday nights for those who for any reason are unable to attend in the daytime. Regular semester hour credits are granted for night school classes.
LIBRARY
During the summer of 1976, the Bible College began its library, with special emphasis on books concerning the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Over the years the amount of books have gone up and down depending on the facilities available to the college. Presently there are about 1,000 or more books available to the student body.
NOTE: All Nations Bible College & Seminary reserves the right to cancel any class during the semester when there are not at least three students pre-registered for the class. The class will then be Proctored for the one or two interested in the class.

ARTICLES OF FAITH _______________________________________________
“So then faith cometh by
hearing, and hearing by the
Word of God.”
–Romans 10:17
THE SCRIPTURES
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the product of Holy Men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit, and it is totally accurate in matters of history, science, geography and geology. The New Covenant is recorded in the New Testament; we accept it as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine. (II Timothy 3:16; I Thessalonians 2:13; II Peter 1:21)
THE GODHEAD
Our God is One, but manifested in three persons–the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit–being co-equal. (Philippians 2:6)
God the Father is greater than all, the Source of the Word (Logos) and the Begetter. (John 14:28; John 1:14)
The Son is the Word flesh-covered, the One Begotten, and has existed with the Father from the beginning. (John 1:1; John 1:18; John 1:14)
The Holy Spirit proceeds forth from both the Father and the Son and is eternal. (John 15:26)
MAN, HIS FALL AND REDEMPTION
Man is a created being made in the likeness and image of God, but through Adam’s transgression and fall, sin came into the world. “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” “As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one.” Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the work of the devil and gave His life, shed His blood to redeem and restore man back to God. (Romans 5:12; Romans 3:23; Romans 3:10; I John 3:8)
DIVINITY AND HUMANITY OF CHRIST JESUS
We believe that Jesus is God come in the flesh and that He is both divine and human. (Luke 1:26-38; John 14:1-3; Acts 2:36, 3:14-15; Philippians 2:5-12)
Page 73
BLOOD ATONEMENT
We believe in the saving power of the Blood of Jesus and His imputed righteousness. (Acts 4:12; Romans 4:1-9, 5:1-11; Ephesians 1:3-15)
BODILY RESURRECTION
We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. (Luke 24:39-43; John 20:24-29)
ASCENSION
We believe that Christ Jesus ascended to the Father and is presently engaged in building Heaven and interceding for the saints. (John 14:1-6; Romans 8:34)
PRIESTHOOD OF BELIEVERS
We believe that each believer is a priest of the Lord (Revelation 1:6) and has direct access to the Father through the Lord Jesus Christ. Each person must believe for himself, be baptized for himself, obey for himself, and answer to his Creator for himself.
SALVATION
We believe that the terms of salvation are repentance toward God for sin, and a personal, heartfelt faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, which results in regeneration of the person. This salvation is entirely by the grace of our Lord and not of works. Works are excluded except as FRUIT of salvation. (Acts 3:19,20; Romans 4:1-5, 5:1; Ephesians 2:8-10)
LOCAL CHURCH
We believe in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as a body of believers who have been baptized in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; who are under recognized, delegated authorities; and who assemble to worship, carry forth the Great Commission, and minister as the Holy Ghost leads. (Matthew 16:18, 28:19; Acts 2:40-47, 20:28; Ephesians 5:22-32; I Timothy 3:15)_
ORDINANCES
We believe that the three ordinances of the Church are: Water Baptism, the Lord’s Supper, and Foot Washing.
Water Baptism: Immersion in water in the Name of the Father, Son, the Holy Ghost, and in the name of Jesus. (Matthew 3:15-16, 28:19-20;
Acts 8:38; Romans 6:1-4; Acts 2:21; Acts 4:12) It is a symbol of identification with Jesus Christ in His death, burial and resurrection.
The Lord’s Supper: This ordinance is a memorial of the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ is truly present in the partaking of Communion. The bread and fruit of the vine remain unchanged in substance, but the ordinance carries with it a real presence and a true encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ in a spiritual sense. (Mark 14:22-24; Luke 22:17-20; John 6:48-58; I Corinthians 11:23-31)
Foot Washing: A two-fold symbol of humility (or service) and spiritual cleansing. This ordinance reminds us of the need to serve with humility and to recognize the need for repeated cleansing from defilement through contact with a sinful world. (John 13:10-15; I Timothy 5:10)

SEPARATED LIFE
We believe that believers should seek, as the early disciples did, to practice the separated life from the world and unto Christ and to set standards of conduct which shall exalt our Lord and His Church. (Romans 12:1-3; II Corinthians 6:17; Galatians 6:14; Ephesians 5:11; Colossians 3:17)
HEAVEN AND HELL
We believe that the Scriptures clearly set forth the doctrines of eternal punishment for the lost and eternal bliss and service for the saved–hell for the unsaved and Heaven for the saved. (Matthew 25:34,46; Luke 16:19-31; John 14:1-3; Revelation 20:11-15)
HOLY SPIRIT
We believe the Holy Spirit to be the third person of the Trinity whose purpose in the redemption of man is to convict men of sin, regenerate the repentant believer, guide the believer into ALL truth, indwell and give gifts to believers as He wills, that they may minister as Christ would to men. We believe that the manifestations of the Holy Spirit recorded in I Corinthians 12:8-11 shall operate in present-day churches which yield to the Lord Jesus Christ. (Luke 11:18; John 7:37-39; 14:16,17; Acts 2:39-48)
DIVINE HEALING
We believe that God has used doctors, medicines and other material means for healing; but divine healing was also provided by the Atonement (Isaiah 53:5) and may be appropriated by laying on of hands by elders (James 5:14-16), laying on of hands by the believers (Mark 16:18), by the prayer of an anointed person gifted for healing the sick (I Corinthians 12:9), or by a direct act of receiving this provision by faith (Mark 11:23).
GOVERNMENT OF THE CHURCH
We believe that the New Testament Church should be Apostolic in nature and is governed by delegated authorities. When it is deemed best for the life of the church and testimony of the Lord, these authorities may discipline, in the Spirit of love, any member who departs from the doctrines set forth in the Articles or whose conduct is contrary to the spirit and practice of this body.
SANCTIFICATION
The Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord. We believe in the Doctrine of Sanctification as a definite, yet progressive, work of grace, commencing at the time of regeneration and continuing until the consummation of Salvation. (Hebrews 12:14; I Thessalonians 5:23; II Peter 3:18; II Corinthians 3:18; Philippians 3:12-14; I Corinthians 1:30)

BAPTISM IN THE HOLY GHOST
The Baptism in the Holy Ghost and Fire is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to those who are believers in this dispensation and is subsequent to the new birth. This experience is accompanied by speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit Himself gives utterance. (Matthew 3:11; John 14:16; Acts 2:38,39; Acts 19:1-7; Acts 2:4)
RESURRECTION OF THE JUST AND THE RETURN OF OUR LORD
The angels said, “This same Jesus shall so come in like manner.” When He comes, “The dead in Christ shall rise first; then we which live and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air.” (Acts 1:11; I Thessalonians 4:16-17)
“He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
–Proverbs 4:4-7
