As to who 'feels' the call? I can honestly tell you that those who have genuinely been called from among our congregation were recognized by (1) myself, (2) many in the congregation and (3) eventually themselves.
That is the beauty of a real call... people usually see it before you do. I do know, however, that I have been very mindful that I never eliminate someone from potentially having a call because of a bad homelife, an inferior potential or a less than perfect past.

Thank you for your reply. Just for the record, I meant no disrespect toward my pastor...this is all in the past. I appreciate the way you operate and it seems that you truely walk in the Spirit and feel after it. God bless!
