Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
The words ordain/ordained/ordination are used four times in the NKJ translation of the New Testament and none of them have anything to do with bestowing rank or offices on the members of the Church. In fact, in the NKJ, the term "ordination" is never used at all. What "ordained" is used for though is to describe the choice God made for the judgement of the world. Different translations often use different words, but the answer lies in the continuity of the record of scripture rather than in this word or that.

Matthew 6;31-33 NKJV
Therefore, do not worry, saying, what shall we eat? What shall we drink? or what shall we wear?
For after all these things the gentiles (nations) seek. For you Heavenly Father knows you need all these things.
But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and, all these things shall be added to you.
