I don’t believe anyone can be “called” that way. It’s their own conviction that drives them to take that risk.

If they hear voices in their head, they need to get themselves examined.

If you don't know what the Bible says, how can you hold people to that standard?

Ephesians 4:11 It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers

It is a calling to hold a position of authority in the Church, and not someones "own conviction". And yes we do hear God speak to us, although not "audibly" except in miraculous cases.
