In Articles of Faith 5 we read that a man must be called of God by prophecy and by the laying on of hands by someone who has the proper authority. Everything must be done in order ad by the proper authority. Articles of Faith 5 "We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof."
In the New Testament we read a verse that tells us quite simply that we should not follow that which is evil, but rather that which is good. Those who do good are of God but those who do evil have not seen God. 3 John 1:11 "Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God."
In some scriptures with a thought booklet we're told that we need to wake up and realize that the time to repent is now! We may think we have lots of time, but the day of our salvation is nearer than what we believed. The night is far spent and the day is at hand for us to cast off our works of darkness and put on the armor of light. We need to stop our evil living, our envying and strife, and walk honestly, putting on the armor of God. This is not something to be procrastinated until it's too late. Romans 13:11-14 "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof."
