Christian Chat is a moderated online Christian community allowing Christians around the world to fellowship with each other in real time chat via webcam, voice, and text, with the Christian Chat app. You can also start or participate in a Bible-based discussion here in the Christian Chat Forums, where members can also share with each other their own videos, pictures, or favorite Christian music.
If you are a Christian and need encouragement and fellowship, we're here for you! If you are not a Christian but interested in knowing more about Jesus our Lord, you're also welcome! Want to know what the Bible says, and how you can apply it to your life? Join us!
I would include in this any Bible College, Seminary, or other ORGANIZED educational system. Sunday school and self-study do not count for this thread. Please share if you will the reason for your attendance.
The member with the most professional training in bible study has to be Angela. She has years and years of formal training and practical application as an instructor and preacher as well. She has the most impressive credentials that I have seen. There are a few others too but in my opinion she has the most training in a formal spiritual education setting.
When I was baptised with the Holy Spirit and spoke forth in a
new tongue, the Spirit of truth also went on to teach me directly
the scriptures and reveal directly to me the gospel and how to

> knowledge
> discerning of spirits
> prophesying

Which is true and not to be forgotten - that which we seek and learn must always be confirmed by the Holy Spirit, not some guy at a lectern/podium/altar. Learning is good for advice and consult, but the day the professor becomes more authoritative than Jesus is the day it all goes horribly wrong. The Spirit gives wisdom and knowledge, schooling is but one conduit.
