Mark 11:27-33

Jesus and his disciples entered Jerusalem again. As Jesus was walking around the temple, the chief priests, legal experts, and elders came to him. They asked, “What kind of authority do you have for doing these things? Who gave you this authority to do them?”

Jesus said to them, “I have a question for you. Give me an answer, then I’ll tell you what kind of authority I have to do these things. Was John’s baptism of heavenly or of human origin? Answer me.”

They argued among themselves, “If we say, ‘It’s of heavenly origin,’ he’ll say, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ But we can’t say, ‘It’s of earthly origin.’” They said this because they were afraid of the crowd, because they all thought John was a prophet. They answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”

Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you what kind of authority I have to do these things.”

I have been asked on several occasions by different religious leaders; “Where were you ordained?” or “Where were you consecrated?” And my chosen response has consistently been the same.  “Heaven!” 

God is the only One qualified to authorize whomever He wills to operate in His One True Church. (Ephesian 4:11-12)

Man’s created ecclesiastical and political religious systems are too corrupt and perverted to ordain, consecrate or authorize anyone as anything in God’s CHURCH.

Jesus and His apostles didn’t seek approval or authorization or license or consecration from any religious earthly entity. 

The best that we can do as human beings is to recognize the tree by the fruit it bears and the gifts of God when given.
