Bible School, Bible College, and Seminary credentials: You must have completed at least four years of Bible study at an accredited Bible school, Bible college, or seminary.
Good standing as a minister: You must be in good standing with your current or previous religious society. This means that you must be in good moral character and that you must be able to demonstrate that you are a faithful minister.
