How old do you have to be to become a High Priest?

Post by _MetalSlasher »

Let's say you are never called to a Bishopric or Stake Presidency, or High Councilor position, can you eventually become a High Priest anyway? And if so, at what age? I know girls who can get endowed in their early 20s who aren't getting married or going on a mission, but want to be endowed anyway, so I was wondering if something similar is with becoming a High Priest at a certain age.

Maks,

Dispensing this kind of misinformation about the holy priesthood is not likely to end well, especially up here in the Celestial.

Every Mormon knows that a high priest would need to be at least 16 years of age and have good weed.

What you described would only be a high deacon. :lol:

Now, go and sin no more.

But DrW, I thought that Celestial was the higher kingdom... :lol:

High deacon. Maybe it could be a new show on Nickelodeon?

Didn't BY make one of his boys a Apostle when he was 12 or something? I don't think there is a written age requirement.

If you don't get a calling that will make you a HP, they will make you one at 50.
