My Dad is a baptist minister and we had a special ordinations evrice at our old church before we moved here where my Dda is now the minister..
My dad gave his testimony of how he became a Christian mainly.
The I think the questions were mainly to do with kind of... do you promise to always respect the authority of the Bible.
Lead the people of the church properly.. rightly.. in accordance with the Bible...
um that sort of thing?
And sme basic theology questions.. Do you believe Jesus is the Son of God... Do you believe in the Trinity... Do you believe the BIble is the inspired word of God.
Hope that helps...

You shouldnt need to crib the questions - I didnt and I got through selection as an Anglican ordinand.
What you do need to do is look within yourself and your prayer life, also think about where you may have gone wrong at times and what you learned. Think about areas where you have made a difference, make sure they know that you know you have a lot to learn and that life is a never ending learning process, particularly prayer life. Pray within yourself everytime they ask you a question that God will guide your answers.

For this reason I left you in Crete, that you might correct the things that were defective and might make appointments of older men in city after city, as I gave you orders; if there is any man free from accusation, a husband of one wife, having believing children that were not under a charge of debauchery nor unruly. For an overseer must be free from accusation as God’s steward, not self-willed, not prone to wrath, not a drunken brawler, not a smiter, not greedy of dishonest gain, but hospitable, a lover of goodness, sound in mind, righteous, loyal, self-controlled, holding firmly to the faithful word as respects his [art of] teaching, that he may be able both to exhort by the teaching that is healthful and to reprove those who contradict.Titus 1:5-9
If any man is reaching out for an office of overseer, he is desirous of a fine work. The overseer should therefore be irreprehensible, a husband of one wife, moderate in habits, sound in mind, orderly, hospitable, qualified to teach, not a drunken brawler, not a smiter, but reasonable, not belligerent, not a lover of money,a man presiding over his own household in a fine manner, having children in subjection with all seriousness; (if indeed any man does not know how to preside over his own household, how will he take care of God’s congregation?) not a newly converted man, for fear that he might get puffed up [with pride] and fall into the judgment passed upon the Devil.Moreover, he should also have a fine testimony from people on the outside, in order that he might not fall into reproach and a snare of the Devil.1 Timothy 3:1-7
