Is the Trinity College case representative of the whole? Although the standards are certainly different for ABHE and regional accreditation agencies, I have heard of many cases where ABHE colleges have been accepted for regional accreditation with few difficulties. If the Trinity College event is not representative of the whole, then I suggest that we make this clear and, perhaps, provide a counter-example. Since I currently attend a Bible College I am certainly biased in favor of Bible Colleges. It seems to me, however, that having the Trinity College note on the page is biased in the other direction. Perhaps we can balance each other out? --DatraxMada 11:23, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

common statement of beliefs

saying they require an annual affirmation of a common statement of beliefs is not very informative. it sounds like a buzzword phrase that means something to them, but most people won't know what is being talked about. a google search finds reference to sites saying it's the same thing as the Nicean Creed, so if they're the same thing then say that without creating a new term. if it's not the same thing, then say what it is then. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Silversplash (talk • contribs) 07:05, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

I agree, the article should be less vague about this. Specifically, it should explain the content and purpose of the "common statement of beliefs."

The ABHE web site lists their "tenets of faith" (www.abhe.org/pages/accreditation/NAV-TenetsofFaith.html), which I'm guessing is what the article's author is talking about, although I'm not 100% certain. The "tenets of faith" creed is not identical to the Nicene Creed but is similar in form, and there is some overlap in the content. One could call it an evangelical creed, with statements like "We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God" and "We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved unto the resurrection of life and those who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation." It's rather long to quote the whole thing (it consists of six statements like the two I quoted in the previous paragraph, most of them as at least as long as the "bodily resurrection" one), but I would think a description of how it lists evangelical doctrines in a manner similar to the Nicene Creed (although the individual statements are significantly longer and more elaborate than those in the Nicene Creed) and a brief summary of the general content would be reasonable. (Assuming this is the "common statement of belief" mentioned in the article — though it seems rather more specific than that description implies.) While institutions describing themselves as "Bible colleges" are generally evangelical (indeed, I've never heard of one that was otherwise), I think the article ought to make it clear that this is an evangelical organisation and requires affiliates to subscribe to evangelical ideology.
