However, there is no doubt I'm a bonified lady preacher. I'm very real, believe it or not, and I do preach the Word of God. I'm even licensed and recognized by my organization of choice, the UPCI. I'm also married and my husband can tell you I am very real. Hes my biggest fan!

as I said... a lady preachers true spirit will always show.. as all of ours will

They gathered for many reasons. They also gathered NOT just in a house or in the temple but in the streets to evangelize and also in synagogues

My point was that many people have this misconception that the early church gathered only in houses and did not have a church building.

Also, they met daily in in the temple and from house to house in Acts 2, but it is important to note the scriptural pattern and purpose for the early church meeting on the first day of each week.

If we do not understand this, then we miss the spiritual significance for gathering together on the first day of each new week, the day we call sunday.

What spirit would that be?

Could it be the same spirit that causes men to state who they are, what they are, what they do, etc.?

I'm sorry..... who they are and what they do?

I can just say that Sis. Alvear would never try to prove she is a bonafide preacher.... and if we don't believe it just ask her husband.... she is a rare exception

I've never understood how a woman preacher can meet the criteria of a quiet spirit.. if their up screaming and preaching

But [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

It says a meek and quiet spirit, not mouth!

as goeth the SPirit.. so goeth the mouth...

from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.. if the spirit of a woman is quiet.... you will see nothing but the same displayed in her flesh

in closing to young Timothy Paul describes the role of a preacher

again... I honor your walk with God, we simply disagree

When the Man of God understands that its not the messenger doing the reproving, rebuking or exhorting, he generally doesn't have a problem with it so long as the messenger stays within the boundaries of the Word of God.

I do thank you for the honor. But you are right, we do disagree.
