Not only that Igzy. Many in a given locality will exercise caution given most local church elders may have a degree in engineering, but not in theology. Any Christian in my neighborhood will ask and have asked, do they have credentials? Exercising caution that an uncredentialed speaker may speak something heretical.
As it is LC leaders get where they're at by 1. loyalty 2. bearing administrative responsibility 3. bearing a speaking gift whether in ministry, in teaching, or in evangelism.
