It is difficult to find example ordination questions from which to prepare and since I am participating in an ordination examination today, I was wondering what kind of questions I should ask. Maybe these 6 could be interesting. 1. What testament (the Old or New Testament) takes priority in interpreting the Old Testament? 2. What limits, if any, apply to the atonement of Christ? 3. Is inerrancy a logical extension of the doctrine of inspiration? Explain. 4. How does Israel relate to the Church? What specific future, if any, awaits national Israel? 5. Sketch an outline of your basic hermeneutical approach to the Bible. 6. How does the Holy Spirit relate to believers in the present age? What principles/texts relate to the Spirit's enablement in the Church? These questions seem to cover a significant amount of theological content and would indicate quite a bit about the pastoral-theological position of the candidate. What do you think, care to answer these?
