How do we know pastors are called by God?

Answered in 2 sources

Pastors are recognized as called by God through their dedication to preaching the gospel and equipping the saints (Ephesians 4:11-12).

The Biblical standard for a pastor's calling lies in their commitment to preach the gospel and care for the spiritual well-being of the church. Ephesians 4:11-12 emphasizes that these gifts are given for the perfecting of the saints and for the work of the ministry. True pastors do not view their role as merely a profession but as a divine calling to serve God’s people, feeding them with the truth of the gospel. This calling is evidenced through their alignment with scripture and the fruit of their ministry as they lead others towards maturity in Christ.
