Does the fact that we all receive the Spirit of God put us on equal footing in the body of Christ? The slave, the female, the male, the Greek, the Jew, we have all become one in Christ through baptism in his name and the infilling of his Spirit. To be 'in Christ' is to be in the body of Christ by virtue of the new birth. If the distinctions are lost because of this and we're all on equal footing in the kingdom of God, why would the gifts given to the members of the body by segregated according to gender?
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
