The difference that seems to elude so many is the difference between a formal teaching event characterized by the assembly of the body and a private moment between people. The difference between a pastor teaching and people witnessing. The elders are to feed the flock, that is with the word of God. Those elders, by qualification, are men.

Was Apollos a leader of the synagogue? And where do you get your ideas above? Paul never said any of those things....that witnessing had to be done outside of the synagogue and there is a difference in formal teaching and private moments with teaching. Sounds pretty silly to say that it's ok for me to privately teach a man about the word of God, but I can't do it in a church.
