This thread has been going on far longer than I've been an active member of this forum but my biggest question is how can you have a female pastor that is married to a man who is in the congregation and have her submit unto him? Ephesians chapter 5 and Colossians chapter 3 both state that a wife has to submit unto her husband. Ephesians 5:23 states that the husband is the head of the wife. Does this mean that he can not be under her pastoral care? Does this mean a married woman can't be a church pastor/minister/whatever name you chose to call them? That's how I interpret it but am happy to gain further revelation about it.

I certainly know that God will use women to fulfil his purpose and that is fantastic! However, throughout all of history, men and women have fulfilled different roles within society and within the church. The question is which of these is of God and which of these is of human propogation?
Well I don't really believe in women Pastors (over the congregation), but even if so, if she does not have her biblical role in the marriage, she should not be Pastor

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:


  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
