The qualifications are masculine in nature thus they are gender prohibited and NOT ONE woman is NAMED serving in the 5-fold ministry. It just is not scriptural.

So, to follow your line of reasoning here, Elder, does this mean that only men can be saved?
John 7:35
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
John 7:37 (Whole Chapter)
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
And, does this mean that only men should pray?
1 Timothy 2:8 (Whole Chapter)
I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
Does this mean that only men shall inherit eternal salvation?
Revelation 21:7 (Whole Chapter)
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
These qualifications are masculine in nature and are gender specific, and not ONE woman is named in these scriptures.
