Titus 1:5-9
Two Models of Pastoral Training
– The Institutional Model: Bible College or traditional Seminary
. 1. Can not confirm a man’s call
. 2. Can not confirm a man’s giftedness
. 3. Can not confirm a man’s character
. 4. Can not truly teach a man how to do pastoral ministry
. God has given the responsibility for guarding of the Gospel to the church – Ephesians 4
. . Matthew 16:18, 28:18-20, 1 Timothy 3:15
. What is God’s Design for Pastoral Training?
. . Acts. 16:13, 1 Timothy 4:14, 2 Timothy 2:2

. 2. Training For Godly Character is also Church-Based – Vs. 6-9
. . 1 Timothy 3:1-7
