I know you're being somewhat facetious, but let me clarify a little:

Some churches make their associate pastors/elders in training take knowledge tests on events/scriptures in the Bible.  The question is 'Do you think it's right to have these tests to determine their licensing¿'

To the original question and the clarified one, I say...

uhhhh.... YEAHHHH...

If you can't minister the Word of God, what on earth will you minister?

And the only thing worse than a minister who doesn't know scripture is one who kinda, sorta knows it but jacks it up because they either don't rightly divide it, haven't studied it for themselves so they're just parroting what someone else said, or they're misquoting it altogether.

I have written a couple of curricula for MIT programs, and both of them are quite scripture-intensive, as I think that's the most important skill a minister needs.

And that's the most dangerous one of them all...especially when the person they're parroting doesn't know what he/she is talking about either. It begins a never-ending chain of carbon copy ministers who contribute absolutely NOTHING to the ministry. Any dumb blonde, of which I hope their are none present on LGM...or at least reading this thread, lol can get up and repeat what someone else says.
