1 | Verse For Testing Leaders? | 1 John 4:1 | bowler | 206394 | ||
I am having trouble finding the verse that speaks about testing those who are being considered for positions of leadership. Is there such a verse in the first place, and who does the testing? blessings abound, bowler |

2 | Verse For Testing Leaders? | 1 John 4:1 | quvmoh | 206398 | ||
Greetings, 1 John 4:1 is one of the verses that tell us to test and examine. 1 Thess 5:21 tells us to examine everything. Acts 17:11 tells us that Paul and Silas both went to a church in Berea and the People of the Church were examining the scriptures of everything they were told was true. 2 Timothy 2:15 tells us in the KJV to "Study". In the Nasb is says Be diligent. However, the message is the same. Paul tells Timothy to handle the word of God accurately, which comes through proper study and examination as well as prayer and guidance from the Holy Spirit. quvmoh |

3 | Verse For Testing Leaders? | 1 John 4:1 | bowler | 206407 | ||
quvmoh Thank you. 1 Thessalonians 5:21 seems to come closest, test everything. I seem to be stuck here looking for something along the lines of test a candidate for leadership. Maybe I am looking at this thing all wrong and I shoud just look at the qualifications for leadership that one must live up to understanding that these would be criteria for a test. I seem to be searching for something that is not there, a verse to use as a basis to test one for becoming a leader. blessings abound, bowler |
