I would say yes, but at the same time you must have a complete and clear understanding of the scriptures and have complete faith in Christ and your LORD and Savior, live a true and honest walk with Christ and be above reproach. A person cannot minister and/or pastor others who isn't complete himself. You must be able to live what you preach. For example, you can't teach others to be humble and loving if you are looking for approval and admiration of others instead of looking to help those you are leading. You can't tell others not to do various sins if you are living in those sins yourself.
You also need to know what the scriptures say. You must use those scriptures in your sermons and share specific scriptures with other to help them find their way. You must be humble and willing to guide and counsel your congregation without demanding and commandeering your followers. You must LOVE your constituents as Christ loves us. If you can do all those things, then yes, you can open a church without going to Bible School. You must have the faith, love and knowledge (in that order), and not necessarily the "official" schooling.

No. The reason it is not right is because without adequate knowledge about the holy bible and the significance and universal interpretations of various scriptures, you will end up teaching 1. false doctrines (heresies)
2. personal opinions * (beliefs not based upon
written scriptures)
and 3. private interpretations - something you feel you
understand but have not been in consultation
with other scholars or in agreement with the
universal focal point of what has been written in
the bible.
Not only is it WRONG. It is downright dangerous, spiritually to others and to oneself. Don't do it! Go to a good bible school and learn before trying to teach or to preach.

the church is a body of believers, but if you want to teach and preach the word, just nmake sure what you say is accurate, cause the bible says that teachers will be dealt with and judged on a higher standards (thats in James)

You do what God is telling you. Listen to what he is telling you. You can always go to seminary school. What if God is needing you to minister at this time because a young lady needing your guidance to God is out there. If you put it off, you put off God's plan for YOU! Listen to God. Blessings to you.

God would want you under some kind of covering...I personally don't feel He wants you out there on your own...but that is not to say we shouldn't all of us, be ministers of the gospel.

Generally, no. God calls people as they are, but expects us to prepare for the job. He's calling you to a BIG job. In Vietnam, soldiers went in unprepared. They got killed. Get prepared for the job.

If you hear voices telling you to do things, it's time to check into the funny farm, not open a church.

If you are as appealing and charismatic in person as your poorly written question is, then you will not do well as a church leader.

yes, Jesus preached without being taught by the Pharisees, but by God.
