No, this thread ain´t really about wheter Wilson was duly ordained to the ministry.
Yet, while scrolling through my twittter feed yesterday, I saw some pretty heavy acusations against the guy.
Among other very serious stuff the Vice Magazine acused him and his community of doing, some reformed people (specially the "Truly Reformed") denied the fact of Wilson's lawfull ordination.
This left me thinking...
"What if he was not ordained by laying on of hands of the session?"
I'm not asking about this specific case, of course.
No one wants to hear about "Wilson Wars" here, I guess.
But I ask this about any minister of the gospel.
Should we deem some baptist ministers as unordained, given some of them have only the election of the people as "ordination"?
What about pentecostal ministers? Here in Brazil, sometimes they don't have even the voice of the people...
Suppose we say these baptist ministries are "doubtful"...
Should we hear them preach? Or should we deem them as gifted brethren, with no public authority, and therefore deny to hear them preach?
