If girls really can't be pastors, do you think that, that's the extent of the restriction(s)? Is it just a pastoral position? Can you still witness?
"Philip the evangelist, one of the Seven. 9He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied." (Acts 21:8-9 NASB)

What fruit can women make if they can't witness or preach?
They can witness and preach.
What they can not be is in a position of authority--like a pastor--over a man.

And besides, this is the fruit they can make:


"the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,23 gentleness and self-control" (Galatians 5:22-23 NASB)

I must have a talk with Jethro Bodine and see what he thinks of this.
Then we'll get back to you.
I understand the Bible to say it is by reason of order of headship that a woman is barred from being in a pastoral position:

" I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man,aand the head of Christ is God." (1 Corinthians 11:3 NASB)

"I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;b she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve." (1 Timothy 2:12-13 NASB)

Okay, now that we've let you talk, we can go back to what we were doing.

I see no reason a woman can not witness.... I find no Scriptural reason ... We should witness. testify .. give honor and praise to our Lord.. And see to it the guys stay true to the TOS :)

10-4 and what God sets in place I will not try to turn. AMEN!
 
Reba, I'd like to see you pastor an all women's church.

But yes, you'd be good at all other things too, I'm sure.

LOL, I'm going to be in trouble with the Pentecostals but the reason a woman should witness is because men are to lazy to pick up Elijah's mantle ever since Elisha.

Jethro, put it down, I'll just duck until you tire!
