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.

1Peter 3:8-12 NKJV
Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tender hearted, be courteous; (humble)
not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were CALLED to this, that you may inherit a blessing.
For He who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.
Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it.
For the eyes of the LORD (Father-YHVH) are on the righteous and His ears are open to their prayers; but the face of the LORD is against those who do evil.
