To Mormons: What are the requirements to become a Melchizedek Preist? |
Melchizedek Preist sounds like a pretty impressive title especially in light of how Melchizedek was described in the Bible , yet I see these kids on bikes barely out of High School claiming the "Authority of the Melchizedek Preisthood". I dont see anything so special about them that would deserve such a title. Taking bits and pieces out of the bible and making a religion out of it does not make it blessed by God. Pride is what causes people to need titles. Humble Christ like spirits take a lower seat. Source(s): King James Bible You do need to have the Aaroninc one first. LDS!!! :) I've never heard of a melchezidec priest. All missionarys are in the calling and quarum of Elder. There is Elder, High priest, bishopbric, the stake presadancy, the presiding bishops. the quarums of the seventy, the quorm of the twelve, the first presadancy, and the prophet. These are the titles and callings of the melchezidic priesthood. Whether you think the young missionaries should hold the Melchizedek Priesthood is moot. The qualifications are: 1. Repentance, baptism, and then laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost. 2. Confirmation into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 3. Worthy, as determined by the ward bishopric, to be ordained to the lesser priesthood, the Aaronic Priesthood, and established as a deacon, a teacher, or a priest. 4. After tenure and worthiness, determined by the bishopric, ordained to the office of elder within the Melchizedek Priesthood. 5. Higher callings and ordinations within this same priesthood requires worthiness as determined by the bishop and the stake president. Well those young boy are 19-23+ years old who dedicate 2 years of their lives to doing only missionary work. They are not paid and volunteer their time. Often these boys save there money and pay for everything they do except the plane ride to and from their mission. They give up dating for 2 years (19-23+ years old!!!!!!! -- no dating) No swimming, no horseback riding, etc. they get 12 hours to themselves a week and the rest of the time serving God. You don't see anything special about them -- get your eyes checked! D |
