  2. How is the church to choose those Christ has gifted and fitted? How do they know what to look for?
  3. Who is to set the man apart (ordain) the elders and deacons the church has chosen?
  4. How are men to be ordained to their office? What is this process to involve?
  5. Why is the ordination of elders to involve fasting and prayer?
  6. Why is the appointment of officers to be regarded as a solemn (weighty) matter?
