So far as the role...Anon,<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by.<br /><br />So far as the role of the minister and the process by which he proceeds or advances in recognition by the church, that is governed by your pastoral leadership. <br /><br />Recommendations for ordination are given by the pastor to the Jurisdictional Bishop and then passed on to the State Ordination Board. At the pastor's consent and approval recommendation for ordination is generally received and the individual is processed through the system which includes testing and review of church doctrine, history, and certain biblical standards. <br /><br />Now, some pastors have requirements before they will make a recommendation for ordination. That is usually based on time of service and the ability of the candidate to live right. Example: a minister that has served the church 1 to 3 years may qualify for ordination whereas a minister who has only served for 6 months may be told to wait. <br /><br />There is no hard and fast rule on when the process must be initiated and noone can ordain a minister aside from pastoral recommendation. he can give you temporary authority as you've experienced to carry on certain ordinances, such as marry, bury and baptize, but that is a temporary and limited power. <br /><br />What should happen is that if a person such as yourself is continually called upon to do these thigns, the pastor should not be reluctant make the recommendation. If he's comfortable enough to use you on a temporary basis, then he should be able to grant a recommendation to the bishop. <br /><br />Hope that helps.District Supt.

I’ve notice that the Bishops, Pastors & Elders, Woman, AIM, and Men (All Men) have various Conferences but, what is actually directed towards strengthening, teaching, growing the Minister & (Wives) in the grand ole Church? For the past 10 years I’ve notice only 1 out of the7 Ministers being promoted to the ranks of Elder in the Church I attend. Most if not all of the other Officers of the Church have a Class A & Class B attire to be worn on certain occasions however , there is only one class of attire for the Minister the black suit, white shirt, black tie & black shoes. Yes I am a Minister in the C.O.G.I.C. and I received my Bachelors degree of Theology in 2009.I've worked in and out of the C.O.G.I.C. Before speaking to my Pastor about this, I’m curious of how you would answer the roll of the Minister in the Church? Also… what are the criteria for becoming an Elder? On several occasions I've been asked to perform Elderly functions such as Weddings, funerals, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357475346759651140.post-58514933515122301462011-07-13T13:24:18.388-05:002011-07-13T13:24:18.388-05:00NONE1221,

His methodology for collecting an offering was manipulative at best. "In order for god to move give" sort of message. His sermon was a hyped up Tony Robbins goals and dreams speech with little biblical backing. It would have been more appropriate for him to be preaching out of the context of proverbs on planning and wisdom, but no. His message was meant to inspire hope of a better living in a material world for a material God. It was very disheartening to see the head of COGIC to take such an approach. <br /><br />I hoped for Biblical training or a message to be preached with eloquence and fear to not misrepresent the text in which was being preached. No, it was topical and bad at that, it was a ploy set out for the simple minded and silly women. Before he got up there were 3 other pastors who gave other simple words. "We need revival, we need to get back to fasting and praying in order for revival to come" No mention of getting the church biblically trained. The amount of ignorance was appalling, from the head bishop to the preachers to the parishioners.<br /><br />Oh my dear brother Burnett, is there any hope for this once treasured denominatio? Is it time to church plant in the inner cities and move on without them? I know that proper biblical training and proper care for parishioners is what is lacking in today's church, how my heart is yearns to see this.IHaveLegshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05543445914251257906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357475346759651140.post-74303823988811771162011-06-22T08:32:54.191-05:002011-06-22T08:32:54.191-05:00I hope that our COGIC leadership will get a hold o...I hope that our COGIC leadership will get a hold of this and follow suit. We have never needed to unify with anyone to uphold the biblical and godly standards of human rights. We were doing human rights long before the world even knew or recognized what a human right was. <br /><br />Now, maybe through this we can also realize that even victims of sexual abuse have rights, then maybe we can right, or at least address, years of wrongs.District Supt.
