Why ordination is more important than a Bible degree.

[TheFemininePrincess]

'Ministry is acts based on truth, best learned in action' - love this!

[tracdfar]

Excellent point. My experience has been similar. Along with others, including the congregations I've served, early on I wrongly assumed my degree qualified me. Fortunately, it prepared me to learn. And yes, it is definitely an action and experience oriented process. I think of Moses'40 years in the wilderness. His burden for his people was not the only necessary qualification to lead. Jesus started his ministry at 30 even though he knew his purpose at 12. I hope this makes sense.

The pastors I know have an honorary degree and started their church in their house and they owned the church

Love this teaching love yu sir God bless

[brianschmidt]

I get your point. Take me someone who has only gone to seminary and then immediately putting them in the pulpit.As a pastor it's not good for either him or the congregation. The best path is a combination of learning as well apprenticeship.

I was an online ordained minister, I resigned, because I don't think I was called to be a minister. I tried to write a sermon, I couldn't. I can't get my thoughts on paper.

That 25-30% readiness you mention is the foundational truths which can be taught by a church but can also be learned at Seminary. They do need to be paired with internships and I do believe an aspiring pastor after seminary should undergo ordination because what the school taught and what he believes could be very different.

[ashlingiza]

Experience, yes. I just got ordained ❤

[SELAHPAUSE]

I believe a person could not dot all is i’s and cross all his t’s but yet still have the heart of Christ

[Pastorjasoncox]

Money makes a pastor we know.
Pastor we know made themselves pastor by starting there own church and paying tithes to themselves.

[hewziheng]

I think the fact is that many seminaries don't see classroom education as "sufficient" - that is why there are many hours dedicated to practicums. Don't scare aspiring ministers away from seminaries - with so many false teaching floating around nowadays, we need more people who know what they're saying and be able to refute these falsehoods, not less!

According to the holy scripture
One must be ordained to preach minister Gods word
And teach
Training is needed
And in church as a layman
To pastor requires a promise
Pledge of faith
A commitment

[johnsmithSongbird]

I need to add to what I just said
Paul ordained bishop and strongly taught God calls those he has chosen
He ordain and anoint with the holy ghost
If you go on your own God does not know you
Like in old testament
Balaam was a prophet but not from God

You're entitled to your own opinion, does not mean you are entirely right.

The LORD Jesus Christ from Nazareth has blessed me 👀

🤔 Jesus Christ from Nazareth has ordained me with all authority under Heaven 👀

🤔 i have been blessed to be anointed by the Holy Spirit to have all of His gifts 👀

🤔 i am in the world and Jesus has now blessed me to be Salvation through Himself 👀

🤔 if you welcome me you welcome the Holy Spirit who sent me 👀

🤔 if you don't welcome me you don't welcome the Holy Spirit who sent me 👀

🤔 i 🙏 blessings for everyone including those who don't yet believe in Jesus and now myself 💞🤗🥰

What he us saying ordination by a church, leaders in the "context" of the church. In other words ordination by man and he is saying this is biblical? What Bible say? Jer 1:5 "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." God's ordination is the only true ordination. "We are sanctified and subsequently ordained by the truth They Word is truth". No other ordination is valid.

[threesaiahs]

Please sir, I need your help.

I will like to have more teaching on ordination.

How will I get it.

[J.R]

Protestantism lacks apostolic succession, so they dont have valid ordination, like in the Catholic or Orthodox Churches.

[yi.lickpee]

Tell me sir! Why wouldn't do this a.i. speech in front of your congregation and film it all at once? Would it not have a stronger meaning? Your empty benches behind you is not showing the strength of god in what you speak! ADX8💔😎
