I have no desire to debate the merits of various titles like Bishop or Ordained Minister. I want to talk about the completely unscriptural practice of appointing women as pastors/overseers of congregations.

The qualitative difference that should be obvious between the liberal theological side and the classical Pentecostal and Holiness Movements’ affirmation of women in ministry and as pastors is that while the liberals were devaluing the authority and divine inspiration of the Scriptures, the Holiness and Pentecostal Movements were instead upholding the Scriptures while recognizing God’s sovereign scriptural right to gift and call whosoever to work in His kingdom. Pentecostals have not come at this issue from anything remotely similar to the modern feminist movement. In fact, surveys of female Pentecostal pastors and evangelists have revealed them to be very conservative theologically, and certainly not anything like the theological liberals in ‘mainstream’ denominations.

I got to agree with Eddie here.If cultural differences from their time to now can't be taken into account - then women should tape their mouths shut as they enter the door.Absolutely no speaking by women.Any deviance from that and you are a huge liberal

You can't bring this subject to light w/out debate.Just for the record I find it highly offensive for anyone to directly or indirectly align the anointing of women in ministry as the same as anointing homosexuals in ministry. Anyone who does this needs a serious break through in an old fashion altar if you can remember what altars are used for.

The COG would not be as widespread in America, if it were it not for women preachers, who established & pastored many COG in the early years. Interesting that our forefathers of faith allowed that More of Him...less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name
