Ecclesiastical Separation
Northland Baptist Bible College does not accept the philosophy,
position, or practice of the National Council of Churches in America or
the World Council of Churches. Furthermore, Northland is opposed to
Liberalism, Neo-Orthodoxy, New Evangelicalism, Hyper-Calvinism, and the
Charismatic Movement.
Personal Separation
The college's
position is not to cooperate with any organization or movement that is
connected with apostasy or that places less than primary emphasis on
the authority of the Word of God. The policies and standards of conduct
at Northland Baptist Bible College are designed to direct a student to
God's best. God's plan for the Christian's standard of conduct has the
underlying theme of protection. By His grace, our conduct should not
allow anything that would be a detriment to our relationship with God.
Therefore, while it is necessary to have standards and rules, they are
not an end to themselves but are simply a means of fulfilling the
purpose of glorifying God. Because we wish to be reasonable and
flexible, our purposes are clearly stated and supported by biblical
principles. College policies are established so that students can
practice biblical principles and fulfill God's purpose for their lives.
We believe that it is dangerous to tolerate a critical or permissive
spirit. A student who cannot support college policies either in
attitude or action and who willfully rebels and refuses correction will
be subject to dismissal. Northland reserves the right to change or add
to its policies to protect its objective of directing students to God's
best and to fulfill its purpose of glorifying God.
