No place in the scriptures do we have a command from God to be educated by men for ministry. However, we do have a command to seek the Holy Spirit and be taught by HIm.
John 16:12-14 "…12I still have much to tell you, but you cannot yet bear to hear it. 13 However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come. 14 He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.…"
We know when the Holy Spirit is speaking through someone, it is Christ they glorify and not self.
When people elevate men as special and the ones to seek for truth they are glorifying man instead of God.
We ought to feel great joy when we share with one another things from the teachings of the Holy Spirit, but no man who speaks the things of God is elevated above anyone else, it is Christ Who is lifted High!!!!
