Who would I want to be my pastor?
A women that has the Holy Ghost or a man that does not?

This is a real story...for reasons I could never post we had a couple like this in our work. Brother Alvear (my husband) put the women over the work...her husband was and is a christian but does NOT have the HG, we let him help in many ways in our work but not pastor a church...
For reasons (with our approval) they changed groups and the other group does not have women pastors...so he without the HG is the pastor...

If I were choosing between the two a woman with the HG would be my choice...

usurp

Function: verb
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French usorper, from Latin usurpare to take possession of without legal claim, from usually (abl. of usus use) + rapere to seize — more at rapid
Date: 14th century
transitive verb
1 a: to seize and hold (as office, place, or powers) in possession by force or without right <usurp a throne> b: to take or make use of without right <usurped the rights to her life story>
2: to take the place of by or as if by force : supplant <must not let stock responses based on inherited prejudice usurp careful judgment>
intransitive verb
: to seize or exercise authority or possession wrongfully

I was gvien authority by Acts 8...men and women went everywhere preaching the word...given authority by my pastor and given authority by my husband....So I have not seized or taken wrongfully authority in any way...

So you have known him for 25 years but how do you know he does not have the holyghost?

HE told me he did not have the HG and that is why we never let him pastor a church.

please understand I am not trying to discuss the man just why I would prefere a women over a man in a certain case...The man is a personal friend so it is nothing personal at all...just the fact I believe you need the HG to be a pastor...
