BEWARE & BE AWARE
The world and her Christianity have created a system and a doctrine of credentialing to serve their purposes.
There isn’t hardly anything that anyone can do or service that anyone can provide without having some form of credentialing. You have to be certified in almost every aspect of livelihood, careers and/or vocation.
Credentialing is a great thing. It standardized and raises the quality of goods and services. It maintains a benchmark for excellence and challenges us to achieve. It is evidence of study, experience, and qualification.
However, credentialing was never a part of GOD’S WAY. God never required that HIS Servants and Messengers obtain certifications or credentials from any institution of mankind, certifying their usefulness and/or qualification from HIM. And indeed GOD would not since that would imply that GOD is asking mankind to second-guess and examine His choices for messengers and ambassadors and qualify them for His Ordained Will and Purpose.
Credentialing is good for the institutions of mankind. But it was never created to be used among the SAINTS of GOD for legitimizing and/or validating and measuring God’s Chosen and Sent Servants’ Proficiency and Aptitude in Ministry.
God never used credentialing to measure one servant against another with regards to qualifications and ability to serve. That Kind of thinking is of the world and not of GOD.
Think and Repent!
What were the credentials and certifications of the chosen Apostles of The Holy Messiah?
Who Ordained and Licensed Who I The Ekklesia Of Christ?
Think and Repent!
Those who depend upon and/or value credentialing for their authorization to minister and to serve are the slaves of the agency that credentialed them. They have chosen to take on the belief system, doctrine, tradition and overall ways of the Credentialing Institution. Therefore, they no longer belong to GOD but to the one they recognized as authorizing them to work and serve.
More Ministers are servants of their institution rather than obedient servants of GOD. For when their institutional doctrine, tradition, and practices clashes with GOD’S HOLY WORD, they stand on the side of their institution and abandon The GOD of HOLY SCRIPTURE.
Credentialing can be a way of controlling individuals and forcing them to preach according to the institution’s prescribed doctrine rather the revelation of SCRIPTURE by the HOLY SPIRIT – if indeed the person in question has the Gift of the Holy Spirit and was sent by GOD.
Credentialing also gives the false impression that one is called by GOD when actually one is only credentialed by man. Acquiring a piece of paper certifying you in an organization or institution of Christianity or field of religious discipline as a minister doesn’t make you God’s Man or God’s Woman. It simply means that you belong to the credentialing institution and are authorized to operate as they say so. You work for them now.
What credentials did Paul have?
What certifications did Peter possess?
What scripture verse commands those sent by GOD through the HOLY SPIRIT to be seek credentials and certifications from men before doing what GOD sent them to do?
Yes! If you wish to work in mankind’s churches, you must submit to their ways and processes.
However, if you want to serve GOD, He Will Credential You With The HOLY SPIRIT who will teach you all things and bring all thing back to your remembrance.

BEWARE the religion of intellectualism. Its elitist credentialing theologies are everywhere.
The disease is symptomatic of Bigotry. I think of it as Christian Prejudice and Discrimination.
Whether unconsciously or by clandestine design, Christianity hosts one of the most openly prejudice practices in the world – Sunday morning worship services.
I have personally witnessed and attended churches that are in walking distance of one another. But they meet in segregated temples to worship separately from each other because they believe differently and hold to different interpretations of the Bible and practice different rituals, traditions and politics.
It is a vile disease that has caused many well-intentioned believers to brazenly and proudly violate One of GOD’S most sacred tenets of the FAITH.
“There must not be any divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction.” (1 Corinthians 1:10)
“I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message, that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.” (John 17:20-21)
“All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, who apportions them to each one as He determines. The body is a unit, though it is comprised of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free, and we were all given one Spirit to drink.” (1 Corinthians 12:11-13)
