Presbyterian Bible Colleges - SaBC (Seminaries and Bible Colleges)

Presbyterian Bible Colleges are some of the most common and most well renowned of protestant seminaries. They have a reputation for producing bible students who are critical thinkers and are known for have great university programs. Presbyterian Bible colleges follow the Calvinist and Reformed traditions that began in Europe, and particularly Scotland and Switzerland. Most Presbyterian Christians in the United States owe their heritage to the many Scottish immigrants who brought this brand of Presbyterian Calvinism to many parts of America.

Presbyterian Calvinism in general began with the Swiss reformer, John Calvin. He established the fundamental beliefs that characterize modern Presbyterianism. These Calvinist beliefs are known as the Five Points of Calvinism and are usually abbreviated with as TULIP:

T – Total Depravity – due to the sin of Adam, the curse of sin has fallen upon all mankind. Man is essentially sinful in his nature.
U – Unconditional Election: By His mercy, God has chosen in advance who will come to faith in Christ.
L – Limited Atonement – Christ only died for the elect, chosen of God.
I – Irresistible grace – no one can resist God’s call to be saved since they are predestined to do so.
P – Perseverance of the saints – all those who are truly the saved and elect of God will keep their faith until death.
