I'm surprised no one mentioned the primary reason for these internet ordinations: Taxes! Ministers have some interesting write-offs.

This is in no small part because most decent ministers, (those who OPEN the Bible instead of just thumping it and telling you where to send the check) after spending years and serious $ on education, accept ministry in small congregations and are kept just slightly above the poverty level. There are but few who remain godly while receiving huge salaries.

Oh, and if by Presbyterian you mean "churches governed by a plurality of elders" than, yes, Jesus was the ideal Presbyterian minister!
