The Goals of Biblical Study Theological Seminary:
In support of its philosophy and mission, Biblical Study Theological Seminary seeks to provide its students with intellectual, spiritual, and cultural pursuits that:
I. Present the student with a method of Bible study which will enable him/her to
study the Bible for himself/herself.
II. Deepen one’s personal spiritual life.
III. Train pastors, teachers, evangelists, missionaries, educational
workers, as well as every Christian, to better serve the Lord.
- Give a full knowledge of the Word of God by taking every student from Genesis to Revelation. To educate every student in the doctrines of the Bible and of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- Contribute to a knowledge and understanding of other cultures and international events and their relationship to Biblical prophecy.
- Assist in developing the competence and determination to approach their vocation as a calling to follow the will of God.
- Foster a commitment to a Christian life, which actively communicates the Christian faith, in personal soul winning, personal integrity, and personal responsibility in all social activities that will point people to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
- To expand Biblical education by extending this Seminary to other Churches and countries of the world. It is the goal of Biblical Study Theological Seminary to extend its ministry by forming Extension Colleges in other Churches both in the United States and foreign lands. These Extension Schools must operate under the rules, Doctrinal Statement, and guidelines set forth by the Bible College.
- To teach the Bible via the Internet. Extended Study Courses will be e-mailed to the student to study at home. A student can receive full credit and degrees through the Extended Studies Program.
Our Doctrinal Statement:
- The Bible Inspired. We believe in the inspiration of the Bible as found in its 66 books from Genesis to Revelation, which has “God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture of error for its matter”. We believe the Bible is preserved for all generations and use only the King James (1611). 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:21, Psalm 12:6-7
- Salvation. We believe that because of the total depravity of man, salvation by grace alone is the central and unifying theme around which all the Scripture is to be understood and interpreted. We believe that the acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord is the only way into fellowship with God, the only way of deliverance from eternal destruction and the only way to eternal bliss in heaven. Ephesians 2:8-9, John 3:16-18, John 5:24, Acts 4:12, I John 5:10-13. We believe that salvation is to whosoever will. John 1:12, 3:16; 1 Timothy 2:4; 1 John 2:2; Revelation 22:17.
- The Holy Trinity. We believe that God who is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost who are three separate persons in one Eternal Godhead. Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14, Luke 1:35, John 1:14. We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ that He is very eternal Creator God. John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:16; Isaiah 9:6. We reject the teachings of evolution and believe that God created all things. Genesis chapters 1 & 2; Exodus 20:11.
- The Resurrection of Christ. We believe that at the time of His birth through the Virgin Mary, the eternal Son of God, Jesus Christ our Lord, assumed a perfect sinless humanity. God the Son became flesh and lived a sinless life, died for our sins, was buried and arose bodily from the dead, qualifying as the only Savior of mankind. Acts 2:32, I Corinthians 15:1-4, Matthew 27:66, Luke 24:36-43, John 1:14, 20:27-28, Hebrews 7:26. We believe Jesus Christ ascended into heaven and is seated at the Father’s right hand and is the only Mediator between God and men. Acts 1:9-11, Romans 8:34, 1 Timothy 2:5, Hebrews 1:3, 8:1.
- Mankind. We believe that man, as the crowning work, was created in the image of God by a special act of creation. Being created in innocence, man chose sin and severed himself from God, qualifying himself for eternal destruction in the lake of fire. Genesis 1:26, 3:1-24, 1 Corinthians 2:27, Revelation 20:11-15
- A Personal Devil. We believe that the devil and his angels are personal beings who are enemies of God, the believer, the church, and all mankind. Satan and his demons will experience ultimate defeat in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone. 1 Peter 5:8, 1 Thessalonians 3:5, Ephesians 2:2, Revelation 12:9-10, Revelation 20:10.
- The Church. We believe that all born-again Christians are members of the church which is the body of Christ, and that the Word of God teaches that every Christian is to serve in the local church. Ephesians 1:22-23, 5:23-32. We believe there are two ordinances observed by the church, which are water baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Matthew 3:13-17; Romans 6:3-6; Matthew 26:26-30; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26. Baptism is by immersion only and shall be administered in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Matthew 28:19. We believe the command of Christ to the church is the Great Commission to preach the gospel to all men everywhere. Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8.
- The Pre-millennial Return of our Lord. We believe there are two stages of the Second Coming. First, there is the Rapture of the church at the imminent return of our Lord before the tribulation. Secondly, there is the Revelation of Christ at the close of the tribulation when Christ returns with His church. The unrighteous will be judged at the time of the great white throne judgment after the Millennial. Acts 2:22-24, 1 Corinthians 15:4-8, 50-53, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Daniel 12:2, John 5:25-29, Revelation 19:11-16, 20:4-5, 11-15.
- The Task, Ministry, and Discipline of the New Testament Church. We believe that outreach, by personal soul winning and public evangelism and missions (both home and foreign) is the essential task of New Testament churches. The church is to send forth and support missionaries. Matthew 28:19-20, John 20:19-21, Acts 1:8, 13:1-4. The church is to educate, teach, comfort, rebuke, exhort, edify, and encourage the saints. Matthew 28:19, 1 Corinthians 14:3, 2 Timothy 4:1-4. We believe the church has the authority to judge and discipline sin and those who walk contrary to its by-laws and statement of faith. All attempts must be made to bring about reconciliation before any member is brought under church discipline. Matthew 18:15-18, Romans 16:17, 1 Corinthians 5:1-5, Titus 3:10-11.
- Heaven and Hell. We believe in the everlasting reward of the saved righteous and the everlasting punishment of the wicked. Matthew 25:46, Luke 16:19-25, Revelation 20:14-15. All lost souls and wicked sinners will live in hell eternally. 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Galatians 5:19-21, Revelation 21:8.
- Loyalty to Distinctive Baptist Doctrines. We believe that Baptists stand for vital and distinctive truths to which other denominations do not adhere. We cannot compromise these truths without disloyalty to the Scriptures and our Lord. We are an independent Baptist school and shall remain so. We are a non-charismatic Bible College in that we do not believe in speaking in tongues, modern faith healers, and women preachers and women pastors. 1 Timothy 2:11-12; 3:1-2; 1 Corinthians 14:34.
- The Sanctity of the Home and Marriage. We believe that God ordained the home and marriage and that marriage consists only between one man and one woman. The word “marriage” means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word “spouse” refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband and wife. We adhere to Bible truths that sodomites are an abomination to God and all mankind. Therefore we reject the sodomite (homosexual) lifestyle. Genesis 1:26-28; 2:18-25; Leviticus 18:2; 20:13; Deuteronomy 23:17; 1 Kings 14:24; 15:12; 22:46; 2 Kings 23:7; Matthew 19:3-9; Ephesians 5:22-33; Romans 1:18-32; 1 Corinthians 6:9, Hebrews 13:4.
Same sex marriages will not be performed by the college President (present or future) or by any Board Member of the Bible College. Same sex marriages will not be allowed to take place in or on any of the college facilities or properties by any person under any circumstances.

A Brief History of the Bible College:
The Bible College began over thirty years ago when Brother Clay Pawley took his first Church in Evans, Louisiana; the Grace Baptist Church. There he began a “Correspondence Course” with new converts and some of his Church members, and also through a mailbox outreach program, which consisted of monthly Bible studies mailed to the local community. The lessons created in this first correspondence course are still being used in the Bible College today and have formed the foundation for the present day college curriculum. Over the pasting years Brother Pawley continued to write Bible study lessons and curriculum, and later, at the Word of Life Baptist Church in Smyrna, Georgia, Brother Pawley formed a more organized correspondence course, which was called, “The Word of Life Correspondence School”, which served as training for Church members and for the first time studies were offered online, via the internet. A large number of students from around the world studied through this correspondence school. It was at this time the study material took on the name, “The Biblical Study Series”. After that, Brother Pawley was asked to serve with the Georgia Baptist Seminary and Bible College as Dean over the school’s Extended Study Program (Distance or Home Study), where the lessons he had written was used as the main Home Study curriculum. After much prayer and for the purpose of making tuition affordable for others, especially preachers, in October 2011, Brother Pawley felt lead of God to form The Biblical Study Theological Seminary, Bible College, and Institute, which uses as its main curriculum the lessons he had written over the past thirty years, and the school received its name from the study curriculum, “The Biblical Study Series”. The LORD God has tremendously blessed the Bible College with extension locations across the United States and the world. It is the Lord Jesus Christ who deserves all the glory for the great things He has done. To God be the GLORY!
Revelation 4:11 – “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”

Book reports must be turned in for all books read and must be typed in 12 point font size in Times New Roman or Arial. There must be a space between each line for easy reading.

EXTENDED STUDY PROGRAM
(All of the above courses are available for extended or home study)
Purpose of the Extended Study Program
The Extended Study Program is for any adult person who desires a fuller knowledge of the Word of God, but due to circumstances is not able to attend campus classes. This program is designed so the student can set his or her own study times and learn the Word of God and earn a degree at home. Correspondence will be done via the internet.
e-College
Another form of study via the internet will be weekly e-mails of lessons studied in the classroom at the Carrollton, Georgia Home Campus. This will be called e-College. A student that cannot attend campus can receive the same study notes and tests from each week’s class to study at home. The student will be required to keep up with the class and lessons each week or receive a W (Withdrew). The following is the motto for e-College: “e-College, Where the “e” is for Education and Exhortation”.
All e-College tests must be completed and turned in before the deadline given by the teacher. The student’s grade for any test which is late will be lowered one grade level for the first full week the test is not turned in. After the second full week past the deadline and the test is not turned in, the student will receive an F. If a student needs more time to complete a test or work assignment, he or she needs to contact their teacher and the teacher will gladly work with the student. If a student is having difficulty and needs more time, it is the responsibility of the student to communicate with the teacher and let him know their situation. The college will work with the student to help them successfully complete their work and maintain good grades.
Weekly Questions – Each “e-College” lesson will have “1” or “2” questions where the students will be required to return the answers to the Bible College each week. Failure to return will result in a lower grade and possible failure of the class. The following is the grade scale for the weekly questions. The following grade scale is for the Final Grade for the entire course.
Failure to return the answers for 3 weeks within the entire semester – “B”
Failure to return the answers for 4 weeks within the entire semester – “C”
Failure to return the answers for 5 weeks within the entire semester – “F”
Other factors will also determine the Final Grade, such as correct answers, and scores on all the tests given throughout the course.
If a student has a reasonable excuse, which would hinder him or her from studying, such as serious illness or a death in the family, they MUST notify their professor and more time can be allowed. This can be done by sending an email. It’s that simple! The weekly questions are for accountability which is important and a Bible principle.
Tuition Cost, Fees, and Payments
The cost of tuition for Extended Study and “e-College” is the same as listed above under “Tuition”. All costs and fees listed in this catalog apply to all Extended Study and e-College students. Payments are to be paid to the college, with all checks and Money Orders made out to Biblical Study Theological Seminary.
Time Allotted to Complete each Extended Study Course
The student is allowed four months to complete each course. The four month time period begins on the date you receive the course. If a student needs more time to complete a course he must contact his professor and more time can be allowed if necessary. Before credit hours can be received, tuition must be paid in full for each course completed. If a student needs more time to pay tuition he must work this out with the Bible College.
Grades and Credits
Each student will be graded by his or her test results, work assignment results, book reports, and how well he keeps his notebook. Each course will contain several tests and work assignments that must be completed and turned in to the college before credits can be received for that course. Credits can only be received when all tests, work assignments, and book reports are turned in, and the student’s notebook has been graded. Student must receive a passing grade to receive credit.
Notebooks
Each student is required to print out all courses received from the college and keep in a three ring binder notebook and must keep the notebook neat and up-to-date. Notebooks apply to both Extended Study and e-College studies. Throughout each course there will be questions to answer and words to look up in a dictionary. These notes must be recorded in your notebook. The college holds the right to grade a student’s notebook at any given time. A part of each student’s final grade will be based upon his or her notebook.
Book Reports and Essays
Book reports must be turned in for all books read and must be typed in 12 point font size in Times New Roman or Ariel. There must be a space between each line for easy reading. Times New Roman and Ariel 12 point font size and spacing also applies to all essays.
Reading Bible References (Scriptures)
Throughout each Extended Study and e-College courses there is Bible Verses listed. The student is required to look up and read all Bible references, even if you think you know the Verses by heart. Do not skip one Verse. This is a Bible study and all emphasis must be put upon the Word of God. This can only be done on an honor basis, so we trust each student will properly study their lessons. Do not rush through a course. Take time to learn and absorb the Word as you study.
Terms and Conditions
All students who enroll in the Biblical Study Theological Seminary External Study Program and e-College must agree to the cost and payment requirements, and must read and accept the schools Doctrinal Statement.
