In one of the most anticipated votes at their annual convention on Wednesday, Southern Baptist delegates voted down a measure that would have enshrined a ban on churches with women pastors in the convention's constitution.
"It failed to reach the two-thirds threshold that's required to make it an amendment," Dr. Ed Stetzer, Dean of Theology at Biola University, told CBN News.
Tuesday the SBC expelled First Baptist Church in Alexandria, VA. The church has a woman pastor over children and women but also believes women can serve as a senior pastor.

Also, NO prophesying does NOT require speaking in tongues, to prophecy, is to preach the Word of God. As it is written. (Revelation 19:10) "And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

If a man chooses to listen to a woman preacher then, obviously, she is not usurping his authority. It's his free choice and it means she's a good Bible teacher. This is not rocket science. Only prideful Christians who have a religious spirit would prefer to listen to an unanointed pastor than an anointed woman who knows the Word of God. You don't need much spiritual discernment to know which pastors are anointed and which ones are not. People who love learning the deep things of God, through the Holy Scriptures, don't care if they're listening to a man or a woman. Only religious church folks do. God is using issue like this to test His household. I hope you love the whole Word of God and are learning what the Father's plans are for the resurrected/raptured church because He is expecting you to have been taught that by now. Sadly, the church has been so dumbed down by those standing in God's pulpits that you can't even conceive of what your ministry will be during the 7 years of Daniel's 70th week.

Biblically sound doctrine says women are not head of a church. Teach ping is to inform, preaching is to move!

[@zendaratv3696]

It's funny how people preach about Jesus but don't preach the same message that Jesus preached - the Kingdom of Heaven has returned to Earth. Jesus plainly explained his mission for being on Earth in Luke 4:41 And lastly set the priority of all of mankind in Matthew 6:33. The Kingdom of God is a Government ruled by our Father Yahweh - the King of Glory. Democracy is not found anywhere in the Bible because it's based on Paganism. Just like any other religion created by man. According to our Lord Jesus, Pagans pursuit their own provision every day through the practice of religion and set their own rules contrary to the rules set by the Kingdom of God.

It's sad to see the apostasy, but not surprising as the Word of God foretells it. Since when did people start to believe the LIE that man is leader of the Church? He's not, Christ is the head of the Church. Since when did people forget that the flesh does NOT minister, but the Spirit of God! This is true, whether He speaks, teaches, instructs, rebukes or blesses whether abiding in man, woman, donkey, burning mountain, burning bush or rocks. Yet, still, as the Isrealites who pleaded for a king before the Prophet Samuel, replacing God in their hearts with carnal substitutes, we see many in the Church doing the same. What blind, covetous obsession to usurp a place that ONLY corresponds to Christ. God has already guided, lead, governed, judged, taught and spoke in the congregation to men and women, through use of women. Just as He uses men, He can and has, used women, too. The physical, biological form of a person does not matter, but the Spirit of God who fills the vessel used to minister. Again, the flesh cannot minister, and man is not in charge. Thank God for that! Women in the Bible w/ ministerial calling: Apostle Junia (Romans 16:7) Prophetess Deborah (Judges 4:4-5) Prophetess Miriam "Mary" (Exodus 15:20) Prophetess Huldah (2 Chronicles 34:21-22) Prophetess Anna (Luke 2:36-37) Pastor Priscilla (1 Corinthians 16:19) Deacon Phoebe (Romans 16:1-2) "For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:27-28).

God chooses whomever He will..

[@theeternalsbeliever1779]

The prophet office doesn't give someone ecclesiastical authority. They relay revelation from God. Huldah is an example of how this works. Hilkiah was the minister as the priest, not Huldah. God also struck Miriam with leprosy when she tried to elevate herself to Moses' lvl of being a minister. The only time someone can be both a prophet and minister under the New Covenant is if they are an apostle, and even then they'd have to be a _man_ .

[@Man.of.God30]

​@@theeternalsbeliever1779 You're mistaken. Are Prophets/Prophetess not called by the Holy Spirit of God for the edification of the Church in the Spirit? They are! Moreover, they hold the second highest authority in the Spirit within the Church. "And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ," (Ephesians 4:11-12). ‭"And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues." (1 Corinthians 12:28). The Prophetess Huldah, moved by the Spirit of God TAUGHT the High Priest, and other priests as well as the King of Judah about the Law. Through her, God INSTRUCTED what they had to do and what would come to occur due to the people's rebellion. The High Priest had no clue or instruction to give the King. The priests were tasked to maintain the temple operating, but a Prophet/Prophetess is placed to edify the Church - ranks WAY, WAY higher than the High Priest. It was the Prophet Moses who was used to give the Law and place the Priests. It was the Prophet Samuel who was used to anoint the first kings of Israel. It was the Prophets Haggai and the Prophet Zechariah who were over and instructed the High Priest Joshua, Nehemiah and the Scribe Ezra on what would be done for the reconstruction of the temple. It was not the priests, nor High Priests, who were tasked with this. They had no business or SPIRITUAL authority to oversee the tasks mentioned above - a Prophet/Prophetess does. Even with the Prophetess Miriam, she was used for the same purpose to LEAD Israel out of Egyptian slavery - this was not solely done by her two brothers. All three sinned against God in one way, not just her. ‭"For I brought you up from the land of Egypt, I redeemed you from the house of bondage; And I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam." (Micah 6:4). Finally, an Apostle is NOT a Prophet. Different ministry and calling, as I shared in the verse at the start. You're mixing and inventing. Just how a Apostle does not carry the prerequisite of being born male, which is why there's an example of a female Apostle: Apsotle Junia (Romans 16:7).

[@johnsonfamilyhomeschool675]

Please watch the video. No one is arguing about phrophetesses or judges....the office is that of a Bishop (a.k.a. Pastor). The Bible is very specific in ITS answer.

[@Man.of.God30]

​@@johnsonfamilyhomeschool675 Respectfully, you're missing the mark entirely. Since a Prophet/Prophetess has a higher Spiritual authority than a Pastor, ANY woman Prophet governs over ANY male Pastor, in the Spirit. The focus is the office/calling not the physical, biological form. Thus, the points given about the Prophetess' mentioned in the Bible. Yet, the Bible does give an example of a female pastor: Pastor Priscilla, who oversaw a congregation in her own home and even taught scholars more accurately about The Way. (1 Corinthians 16:19), (Romans 16:3-5), (Acts 18:24-28). People erroneously attribute a wife's role in the home, submitting to her own husband, as something to do with how God calls someone to ministry. It's nonsensical and a lack of spiritual discernment to do that. Physical vs Spiritual. Hope that clarifies the reason of the points previously mentioned. God bless you!

For example, not all “senior pastors” are pastors in the shepherding sense. A strict ban would create legalism and not resolve deeper heart matters related to chasing leadership positions and titles, healthy marriages where couples lead a local church together and model Christ’s love for His bride, men and women needing discipleship and encouragement in using their gifts in and out of the church, etc.
