[edit] Reasons for creating this page

An earlier version of Elim Bible Institute was deleted after an AfD discussion that concluded "RS problems verifying the notability of this diploma mill."

I looked into the institution, starting out with no knowledge, and quickly concluded that it is "notable" and has an interesting story. Furthermore, it is NOT a diploma mill.

I think it is notable for at least 3 attributes: its apparent influential role in 20th-century American evangelical Christianity (including the Latter Rain Movement, about which I know nothing), the history of its campus, and at least one notable alumnus (Randall Terry). --orlady 23:43, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
