Re: B.R. Hicks and Christ Gospel International
It is my experience that women pastors are unbiblical. There were women teachers, and perhaps even preachers of the gospel, but a women's place was never meant to supersede those of her husband.
I see what Sis. Alvear is doing as a perfect example of a woman in ministry. She preaches and teaches, but ultimately she is under the leadership of her husband. She lives the great example of how a woman should have a role in ministry, I think.
I have seen women pastors who have churches full of sissified men, and it is sickening. I have seen woman pastors who have caused so much destruction and turmoil because they have not stayed within the guidelines, and boundaries set up by the early church. We never see a woman in a leadership role, but you do see Aquila and Priscilla mentioned as leaders in the church, but never do you see Priscilla mentioned alone, she is always mentioned with her husband. We see Chloe who was a deaconness, which would be like a teaching/preaching position perhaps today in our culture, but we do not ever see a woman named to be a bishop, presiding over a group of men.
I believe there is a place for women in ministry, but it should be a place where their role complements their husband, but never detracts, subtracts or divides.
