2 Timothy 4:5 uses very specific set of Biblical qualifications, administered by mature Christian Overseers dedicated to serving The Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that scripture reserves ordination to God and Himself alone. "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them" (Ephesians 2:10)
Therefore ordination by man is subject to man's limitations, ordination by God is subject to God's limitless call.
