"Let them be tested."
1 Timothy 3:10 10 These men must also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons if they are beyond reproach.
Paul is telling Timothy that those who are being called to recognized service in the Body are to be tested by others who are part of the Body. Leaders are to put aspiring servants through trial.
Let them serve for a ‘trial’ period.
If they get through it with a record of being effective and having a good attitude, then let them serve.
“Timothy, set up a trial period for these people”
It seems that after ordination the Lord does the testing.
Being tested by people is a breeze.
When God puts your soul in the fire He does a thorough job.
