Wow! I can't believe you missed the point of my post so completely. And I thought surely that you, so adamant about your position, could separate the preacher from the results, according to
Philippians 1:18. But you seem so intent on extending this condemnation of women preachers to those who have come to believe through their declarations. My brother, that is sad.
Now, I think you're purposefully attempting to confuse the issue by using the term "preacher" to mean something other than what is Biblical. What you really mean is "pastor" or "teacher". This is a Biblical "preacher":
Romans 10:14-15
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
And, yes, the woman at the well was preaching Jesus to the men of her city and they believed.
For scriptural reference concerning women preachers/teachers, you already know (
yes, you already know) that Priscilla is an excellent example.
Acts 18:26
26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
Romans 16:3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:
Now concerning the headship issue, why do you perverse this? You know very well that this is a NT Biblical principle, yet you attempt to dismiss this because it proves that there is a way a woman can preach and not be a usurper of man's authority. God, Christ, Man, Woman, Children. And that at every level, the one above covers the one below. With her husband's permission, a woman is not a usurper but is obedient to her head. How did you miss this simple NT Biblical principle?
Let's talk about the 5-fold ministry (Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, Teachers). Which of these do you include in your definition of "Preacher" and which ones do leave out?
