On the 1st day of December, 1830, I was confirmed, and in accordance with the word of the Lord I was ordained an Elder under the hands of the Prophet.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My ordination in the Church of God in Christ was at age 9, and I later became a Baptist minister, which I am today.
I am now officially ordained. Yep, that's right - Reverend Tori Spelling!
When I was young, I was dedicated to become a minister - my brothers and I were formally brought in front of the congregation in a dedication ceremony, where we were dedicated to the future service of God.
I was ordained one of the standing High Council in Zion, under the hands of President Joseph Smith.
Every man who has a calling to minister to the inhabitants of the world was ordained to that very purpose in the Grand Council of heaven before this world was. I suppose I was ordained to this very office in that Grand Council.
My father was a minister, so I was a P.K., a preacher's kid.
I was christened Edward. My sister gave me the name Bear when I was a week old and it has stuck.
You see, I was the son of a baptist minister.
At the end of 1795 and beginning of 1796, I was ordered to write to the Church ministers.
So I was very close to ordination. I was delighted to be ordained a deacon, which is the last step between, before becoming a priest. But then it all fell apart.
