The UPCI Ordains Women Pastors?

[shazeep]

in the absence of male leadership, perhaps, but i would take it as a sign.

[Antipas]

It is God who is manifest throughout. Why hinder God?

[Scott Pitta]

To take this from a different approach, when was there ever a time when there were no Pentecostal woman ministers ? They were common during the Azusa street days.

I think you slipped on your Arjun, and slid all the way into a Krishna.

So were people who barked like dogs and rolled all over the floor.

It was the Methodists at Cane Ridge in 1880 that barked. They called it "treeing the devil".

Yes, rolling is part of the Pentecostal tradition. I have only seen one person roll at church.

"Holy Rollers" in California were frauds who were in no way connected with Pentecostalism. Figuring them out was not easy. There were a band of them in Oakland. The fine folks at the Apostolic Faith Mission did not have anything to do with them.

Cane Ridge was in 1801.

It was also a Presbyterian meeting, although Methodists were involved. It was one of the sources of the Churches of Christ movement, believe it or not.

I agree.

A woman that usurps authority over men . . . VS . . . having
her husbands permission to usurp authority . . . ?????

But what do the scriptures say and TEACH?
