Jesus is the only one who gives the Holy Spirit to the born again believers.
The Holy Spirit speaks of and teaches believers about Jesus Christ. If someone preaches it to you; the Holy Spirit alone confirms it with signs following.
He gives the gifts and operations AS HE WILLS.
As you read the New Testament you'll understand everything about the Gifts. Baby Christians must grow up in Christ first.
We must learn to obey the Known (Bible) Will of God.
Women as preachers and teachers must submit to Christ (It is his church), and sit under the Leadership of that Church. It's about obedience and Discipleship.
Personally, I've done all the gnarly jobs in a church without grouching. Why? Because I was doing it AS UNTO THE LORD. On my job at work; same thing. God is our Employer. If we can't do right by Him; we will not be promoted. I especially AVOIDED gossip and backbiting. It was hard at times because Satan drops by ever so often.
The Holy Spirit is the one who ANOINTS you to be in ministry. That's who you have to please with your progress. You'll be tested on resolve all along, by HIM. If you encounter a lot of spiritual warfare, ask the Holy Spirit for the Gift of: discerning the spirits. But first, learn what that is. YOU hit the books/Bible and learn from it. HE IS YOUR TEACHER.
If you want to see what a lady Preacher looks like. Watch some Iverna Tompkins on youtube.
We have to learn how to pray, seek God for fresh MANNA go his people. It's for us, and it's for them. We need to know and live in Matthew 25. Our priority is to Jesus and pointing His children in a better direction.
I'm happy for all those who do choose ministry.
Mishael
PS: know that our Lord Jesus is returning soon for his bride.
Bro Dan it would be a slap in the face of God to ADD ANY THING TO CALVARY....3 TIMES In Acts 10 & 11 God Almighty was telling Peter WHAT I HAVE MADE CLEAN...Do not call common or unclean...God was baptising folks with the H.G. The new covenant. The ultimate baptism. But Peter was Commanding water baptism old Covenant, A slap in the face of God and the lamb of God...Dan once ya understand the ENORMITY of the CROSS, The blood of the lamb, you will no more mention water baptism for the remission of sins...Remember Jesus said that some wd not be able to drink the NEW WINE ( THE NEW COVENANT )..They wd say the old wine is better ( water baptism ) The new wine is H.G. BAPTISM....The Gift of God....But water baptism is not the gift of God. Remember in ACTS 18 : 26 One of Johns disciples was still water baptising.Scripture said thats all he knew was Johns water baptism...But Aquilla and Prisilla had to take him unto them selves aad expound unto him a more perfect way....Which was the new covenant
Back in those days they had what was called the threshing floor. What they would do was they would gather their crops in and they would grind it on the threshing floor, and the grain would separate from the chaff. And then they would take a shovel, a winnowing fork, a winnowing fan, and they throw it up in the air. And the grain would only travel a certain distance but the chaff would blow even further away.
By the time they finished this process, they would have two separate piles on the floor. One pile goes into the barn, and the other one you burn. What this is talking about is that with Jesus, either you are going to get baptized with His spirit, because that's the name of his ministry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit, or the fire of judgment. He will separate the wheat from the chaff.
As for what baptism is Paul talking about in Romans Chapters 5 and 6, he is presenting to us the process of salvation, and the baptism he mentions in Romans Chapter 6 is Spirit baptism, not water baptism.
Jeremiah 29:11-12 NIV
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter.
I have lost a daughter
You are never alone God is with you. He sees your heart and hurt. He cares for you and loves you so much. He is with you and will never leave you nor forsake you.
Pls be encouraged. Know God still has work for you to do on this side.
The Joy of the Lord is your strength.
Love your sister in Christ

Thank you so much for sharing that quote from the Virtual Museum of Protestantism. I have not heard of them before but would like to check them out. I'm sure they might have other articles of great interest. It does explain a lot on why women were being ordained as pastors. But as you mention, should we as the church ever deviate from the word for the benefit of the church? I think not! It seems to me that every time man does what he thinks is right for the church, we as a church begin to suffer. Things might work from our point of view, but if the Lord's not doing it, we get ourselves into quite the mess.
I truly believe that there are women who would do a much better job of fulfilling a pastoral role in the church than some of the men. But again, do we deviate from the word in order to make the church a "better" place? We've got to be careful on how we are building because if the Lord is not in it, our efforts are in vain, no matter what we think is best. How did the early church function? That should be our model, and yet we have moved so far away from it, maybe not intentional, but we've gotten ourselves into a mess!
May the Lord continue to bless you with knowledge and understanding of His word, for it is only through His provision that we can move forward in growth. God Bless!!!
Thx
Please keep in mind that God brings us into great distress for a greater and larger purpose, just as He did with those people we read of in the Bible. We are no different than them. You will be used greatly as an example to others and you will be reunited with your daughter in glory to see what the Lord has done through all the suffering. Hang in there and we will be praying for your peace and strength.
I don't exactly what you are going through, but God knows. I don't know exactly how you are feeling, but God knows.
He sees everything and knows everything, and always remember that, " that what ever the situation God is always close to us". In the book of Deuteronomy 31 v6 "God asks us to 'be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them (people, or different situations/difficulties, problems, ...etc), for the LORD your God goes (is) with you; HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NEITHER FORSAKE YOU". Please don't give up, God bless you.
