Licensing and Ordaining
Section I
Any member, who in the judgment
of the Church gives evidence by his living, and aptness to teach that he is
called of God to work of the ministry, shall be eligible for a license. He
shall have preached in the hearings of the Church, and having been examined by
the deacons may upon their recommendation be licensed to preach the Gospel by
the Church, provided 2/3 of the members present at any business meeting shall
agree thereto.
Section II
If the church decides by 2/3
vote of the members present at any regularly called business meeting that one of
its mean possesses the Scriptural qualifications for full ordination, it shall
call a council of ministers and brethren to examine the qualifications of the
candidate.
