Yes, we have to have a few of these to insure there are no misunderstandings about the program or our goals.

• Upon completion of the program students are not to claim to be certified or approved by the institute or by NANC. Students will receive a certificate of course completion but will have to pursue certification by NANC after completion of the coursework. We will be glad to assist any of our graduates in that process.
• While it will be our goal to equip students to effectively minister the Word of God in the counseling room we simply cannot give individual help with specific counseling cases students are currently dealing with. Donn will be available to answer general questions raised by the lectures but we would have to be involved in the counseling process personally, ask the questions we would want to ask, and get complete data before attempting to offer counsel. We are confident students will be able to take the principles learned in the coursework and apply them to the specific situations God brings into their lives.
• Courses are not available to those who live within a 120 mile radius of RBCTI except by special permission of the dean (Pastor Bill Slattery). We want as many students as possible to join us for classes in person.
• The Institute reserves the right to limit admission to those who can sign our statement of belief, are active members of a Bible believing church, and plan to use their training under the authority of a local church.
• Donn R. Arms is the Executive Director of the Institute for Nouthetic Studies and speaks only for INS. While both INS and this web site are a collaborative effort of Dr. Adams and Donn R. Arms, Donn is responsible for all information on this web site. All errors, confusion, typos, offenses, and inaccuracies are Donn’s responsibility alone (and for that reason inevitable). Dr. Adams contributes only those articles that are thoughtful and helpful and bear his name. All other information, comments, theories, and observations are the views of Donn R. Arms who is not to be understood as speaking for Dr. Adams, NANC, or RBCTI and possibly not to be understood at all.
