Hello all, and happy Lord’s Day!
I’m currently in undergrad, planning on entering the ministry, and considering the following seminaries: Reformed, Southern Baptist, and Greenville Presbyterian. For background information, I’m a Reformed Baptist who’s open to the possibility of academic teaching at some point, but church ministry is definitely my first love. A few things in particular about which I’m curious:
1. How different are the RTS campuses (Jackson and Orlando in particular) and which do you think is the most solid?
2. I really like the accreditation that RTS and SBTS offer, but I know a guy at my RB church who attends GPTS and it seems like a very solid seminary, and I would be fine with the Presbyterian perspective they offer.
3.Would you recommend RTS over SBTS because it is more Reformed? I know there are many great professors at SBTS, tuition there is cheaper than RTS, and there are plenty of Reformed people there. However, I’m a little hesitant to enter the Southern Baptist world as it’s such a mixed bag, and if I’m spending the money on a seminary education, I really don’t want any Arminian professors.
Any additional comments you may have would be appreciated! Thanks for your thoughts!
