FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF REGISTRY MEMBERSHIP Master's International Registry of Biblical Knowledge Specialists is designed to serve as a central directory of individuals who have achieved specialized Biblical knowledge through one or more of the rigorous learning venues of Master's International School of Divinity, Master's Theological Research Institute, or Master's Theological Institute. The men and women listed in the Registry possess the powerful and life-changing knowledge of subjects related to the Word of God. An important purpose of the Registry is to provide students and graduates of Master's with real-time confirmation of their Biblical knowledge achievements. Approved members of the Registry are authorized to use the official specialist seals of their level of achievement (see seals below). Whether used on printed documents, Web pages, or social media sites, these seals, and inclusion in the Registry listing, provide the student and graduate with reliable third-party confirmation of their specialized Biblical knowledge. Another important purpose of the Registry is to provide assurance to churches, Christian organizations, leaders and peers, that those listed in the Registry have been officially vetted, and possess specialized Biblical knowledge in their areas of concentration. Students and graduates of Master's may wonder why there is a fee for Registry membership, and why it is a one-time fee of $100. There are three specific reasons. 1. The goal is to promote and maintain a professional Registry that will be a credit to students, graduates, and to Master's. The time and expense involved is significant. 2. Rather than paying annual dues, and having to manage follow up, both members and Master's benefit from a one-time only fee that provides life-time membership. In the long run, this can represent a significant savings for the member. For example, if the annual dues were set at only $20, in ten years the total paid would be twice the one-time fee. It is also likely that during that time dues would increase. 3. We value what we invest in. Being willing to pay a one-time application fee is a demonstration of how the member values his or her education through Master's, and the importance of being able to publicly validate the Specialized Biblical Knowledge acquired through the study venues at Master's. Finally, there are many forms of knowledge, but we believe that Biblical knowledge is the noblest, and most beneficial. Ordinary people who pay the price to become Biblical knowledge specialists possess a form of knowledge that is akin to light. Or as the Scripture affirms, "The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple" (Psalm 119:130 KJV). Master's International Registry of Biblical Knowledge Specialists serves as directory of individuals who possess such knowledge. Our world is in desperate need of the bearers of the True Light (John 1:9)! Following approval, members are sent official confirmation, and simple graphic files of the Registry seals corresponding to their Specialist Level. If you are a student or graduate of Master's we cordially invite you to apply. Click to visit the Registry. NOTE: If for any reason an approved member is not satisfied with his or her listing within the first two weeks following initial posting, they may email masters@mdivs.edu and request a refund. The $100 Registry listing fee will be refunded within 14 business days, and the listing removed from the Registry. After the first two weeks, the Registry fee is nonrefundable. Questions? Email registry@mdivs.edu or call us 1-800-933-1445 / 1-812-471-0611.
