ORDINATION APPLICATION
Date: _______________
1. Please provide the following contact information:
There are many people in the world who have a hunger to be ordained into the ministry. Most of these people do not have a desire to pastor a church, but they have a desire to be ordained because it gives them a greater sense of responsibility and more boldness to step out and do what Jesus told us all to do.
If you are interested in being ordained, please pull up the application on our website or write to us and we will send you one. Type out a written testimony of what you were before you got saved, what brought you to salvation and what you are doing now. We would also like a letter of recommendation from your pastor and a picture of yourself. For the entire process, there will be a $50 fee. We will show you how to operate in the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit.
I guess I don't get it. Well -- yes I do, but it's hard to fathom.
If you're *called to the ministry*, you're called. Period.
A title does NOT a "Dr./ Minister" make.
This here is fraught with the possibility for disaster.
This is (imo) just like a New Year's Eve resolution.
A.) decision made;
B.) two weeks of adherence;
C.) two more weeks of good intentions;
D.) Well -- there's always next year.
I'm not trying to minimize the commitment a person may have.
However -- if they need to "learn after the fact" about the Holy Spirit,
I'm guessing they weren't called in the first place.
And the fact that these two will teach about the Holy Spirit,
almost seems as if they are telling you how to minister.
But I've been wrong before.
Teaching before (or)/ after ordination.
You just gotta *go to grow* (remember that one???), mentality.
Their camp, their style, here ya go -- here's your certificate.
I see this as a *rubber-stamp* ordination ----
void of authority or validity.
Kit -- I'm glad these folks were there for you when you needed them.
I CAN'T see where they have the authority to ordain.
This is too much like the past, where a friend of mine
(a devout atheist -- there's an oxymoron for you --- )
got a mail order *ordination* in order to escape the Viet-Nam war.
I agree with DMiller, but wanted to add, if they are asking about the seminary that was attended, and for a recommendation from your pastor, why wouldn't the denomination you are with ordain you?

I don't like it. They ask for $50.00 and then say they will teach you stuff AFTER the people are ordained?
Looks creepy to me. I am sorry, I am glad they were there for you.

Dots: the site looked creepy to me too. I'm glad you said something. I didn't want to look like I was being cynical because I'm an ex-wayfer.
Thanks.

Did they put their green card on a PDF so you can sign it and mail it (along with the ca$h) back to them?

Ya know, I hestitated on mentioning this before but, ...
Mass ordinations?... Now why does that give a distinctive 'Moonie' ring to it? :unsure: ... As likened to 'mass weddings'?
