Your mind is set, because it's what you W-A-N-T to believe, but the Bible itself will never support NT women preachers in the church. I do not want to be rude in any way to you Sis. Alvear, but I must stand up for truth.
On another note, what's the deal w/ Reckart? I've seen several places online where people deride him for his beliefs. I'm not terribly familiar w/ him, but I've seen him make some valid points regarding Oneness. What's all the hub-bub about? What does he believe that's so outlandish?

I think most is the way he goes about doing things...posting pictures and names ...Some say he thinks he has more truth than others...I really don't know. My opinion (and it is personal) I think he is a good man trying to do something for the Lord. I would say he is self educated and maybe a little crude in his expressions but my personal opinion of him is that he is a good man. You may read on his site his beliefs.
Some things we do not see alike but the body of Christ is diverse in many things and we all must respect each other and I respect him. At one time he said something about me that was not true and had it on the net. I wrote him. He asked forgiveness and even though we may differ it takes a man to ask forgiveness.
I have never made the statement that I am a woman preacher. I am a missionary whatever that may mean. To some it means a preacher...to others it means a helper...whatever it may mean I have done my best to fulfill what I feel God called me to do. I have taken up for women but that does not mean I go along with loud mouthed women... a woman's greatest asset is humility.
I once visited a church with m husband and the pastor got up and said, "we have Sister Janice here, she claims to be a woman preacher since we do not believe in women preachers she can come up here and prophecy..."
That was uncalled for howeverI just went and told the a missioary story...whereever we go if they want to hear a happening on the field I will tell them a story from the field...but if they do not want me to say anything I just sit them and Brother Alvear can preach or whatever...I feel the cause of souls is much greater than my personal feeling...and I don't get my feelings hurt...
You are not rude...I hope I do not sound rude...we just see the Bible different however for my part I hope to be your friend and the friend of all God's precious people.
