Unless you are looking to teach in a secular college or university I doubt obtaining both degrees from SBTS would be a problem. My guess is that what your adviser is getting at is that getting both degrees from the same school could perhaps be dismissed as being too insular, not sufficiently exposed to other points of view, etc.

"There never was a man in the world without a creed. What is a creed? A creed is what you believe. What is a confession? It is a declaration of what you believe. That declaration may be oral or it may be committed to writing, but the creed is there either expressed or implied."—B.H. Carroll
