While have been interested in the comments here that Fuller has tilted more left lately and apparnetly is no longer agreeing with the Chicago Statement on inerrancy -- I just don't understand your statement about homeschooling in this context.
Are you suggesting that adults who want to become Pastors and leaders in Church are generally better off "home-schooling," than studying with instructors at a Seminary?
What denominations accept 'homeschooled' seminary credentials in order to be hired as a pastor?
You did know that Fuller is a Theological Seminary, right? Perhaps you didn't.

Actually, several denominations exist that do not require and "formal" school at all. Most of the worst ideas in Christian thought came from cemetaries...I mean seminaries.
Were the Apostles trained in Seminaries. How many of the early Christian leaders had formal "seminary" training.
I would rather sit under a pastor, who has studied the Word of God, relies on the Holy Spirit to help him understnad the word, and has lived it out.
Some seminaries still maintain the standard of the Word of God. That's wonderful. But many have left the truth.
Unfortunately, most seminary professors just offer you their interpretation of scripture or worst, warmed over reflections of someone else's view of scriptures. The Holy Spirit never fails, man often fails.
So the answer is yes. A home schooled pastor, who gets in the Word of God and experiences his presence is infinitely more desirable than someone with a seminary degree.
