‘Young Ministers who acknowledge their calling to preach the gospel should immediately enroll in the Church Bible College for religious training. They should not strive for the high seat in the sanctuary, but should strive to prove their ministry. They should not be ordained until they have served a three year training period under the Pastor, and even then, if the spirit and attitude of the individual is not what it should be, he should wait even longer until his Pastor feels he is so qualified. He should learn to tarry with people and to attend prayer meetings regularly. This will enable him to take on the sober and dedicated attitude a minister should possess.
Titus 2:6-8 "Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you."
