Biblical Qualifications

An ordination candidate whose eligibility is anchored on having the requisite character, grace and manifestation of divine presence and power spelt out in scriptures relevant to the office into which the ordination is taking place. Such a candidate usually undergoes training/preparation for the exercise. It should be noted that mere completion of a bible school or seminary programme is insufficient to justify an ordination. This is because most bible schools concentrate on ministering to the mind, rather than the heart or spirit man. A bible school graduate should be humble enough to submit to mentoring and spiritual formation in order to fulfil ministry. 

A confirming authority who is either the vision holder of a local expression of the Body of Christ (Ministry or local congregation) or a duly recognized senior minister in the Body of Christ who is accepted as such by the Church in the City/nation. Or the authority of a Ministerial Fellowship to which the ordination candidate wishes to belong. In this case, the International Ministers Fellowship is the Confirming Authority.  Witnesses to the ordination (Christians and others) add value to the exercise.
