I'd be hard pressed to say they were in sin. I think they are out of order. Like a foot trying to be a hand.

I would say we should say the same thing about single pastor churches. Did God intend for a church to be pastored by just one man? While on the subject this thread centers on a women pastoring and preaching. Singleing out just one area of the ministry. And yet scripture only uses the word pastor one time in the NT. Come on you guys get back into the word and find out how they realy had church in the Apostolic days and this argument becomes a mute point.

It would be easy to say some hard things here but I refrain other than saying the thousands I have baptized are glad I obeyed the call of God and came to Brazil. My race is about run and eternity will tell if I was right or wrong.
I have staked my WHOLE eternity on the CALL of GOD. HE visited me when I was just a child and called so I figure HE knew what He was doing and who he was calling...

However IF I am lost for taking Jesus into many areas when men never went I am willing to be lost for they are many that are saved and I am one...

I was so young when He visited I had never heard of missionaries or Brazil! My daddy was a drunk and our home was not the ideal home where you would go looking for someone to be a missionary...

I said to a drowning person it does not matter what sex saves him from the icy watery grave...I have helped a lot of men come to the Lord it did not matter that I was a woman...

No matter what I reply concerning Tim and Cor. you will not agree...so there is no use to waste precious time on replys for we will not agree what the scripture means.

I think to NOT believe in women in ministry is more dangerous than many other things for that is closing the mouth of someone that might help others be saved...

One of the best lady preachers I ever knew her husband got mixed up with Branahamite teachings and MADE her quite preaching...the sad fact is he has never done anything for the Lord...

She could have kept preaching but would have lost her home...she is faithful to the Lord in a good church but has never preached again...he seldom darts in the doors...In my humble and simple opinion I hope but do not think she made the right decision.

I do not think Deborah was home having babies when she was needed in war...however most all ladies love babies for it is a ladies instint...I love children and raised 11 of them! Children and my duties as a mother and wife have not hindered me from doing the will if HIM that called.

WOE, is me if I do not obey the heavenly calling.

and my sons in ministry greatly honor me...I am a very blessed woman...not only my sons honor me but my husband honors me. We are not trying to outpreach each other...I am HIS helper and go where ever he needs me to go...and many times that meant to the far backlands for weeks, sleeping in unbelievealve conditions and eating whatever...

The so called Apostolic movement believes and follows whatever they want to...most believe Acts 2:38 but explain away the followering verses...lol...

You mean verses like I Tim. 2:11-15, or I Cor. 14:34???? Actually, the true "Apostolic" church will follow the Apostle Paul's clear teachings here! But since you've yet to engage I Tim. 2 on an exegetical plane, what else can I say, except that I believe what the Bible says over subjective experiences.

We cannot find church buildings as we know them today in context with the church of ACTS...they followed some 200 years later...

The first church met in homes, on riverbanks and where ever...I hate to say this but many American men could not stay a week in the backlands where there is no comfort, no bathrooms and no running water...I never met one man that wanted to help me work in the leper colony...that gory place as it is called...yet I sleep with the lepers, buried their dead, ate with them and even cooked for them that THEY might be saved...

I am afraid most are far removed from the real work of the early church...

And I highly honor you for this, but I Tim. 2 is contextually speaking in a church setting, not witnessing to the lost...as EVERYONE should do. I've told you this for about the 5th time now & yet you just keep responding w/ the same thing.
