			<description><![CDATA[I am a licensed A/G minister. I don't think the resolution PERMITS women and under-40 ministers to be presbyters, but REQUIRES a certain percentage of them to be presbyters. I may be wrong about this, but I read the resolution, and that is what I understood it to say. I am not against women or younger ministers being presbyters, but I am against quotas. As I didn't get to go to the General Council, and won't be voting or speaking, I will express my views here. But, I expect the Assemblies to follow the recent past and continue their march away from common sense and into a realm of futher modernizing the movment. I don't see anything in scriptures that God wants a certain percentage of your leadership to be from a certain group. I think this will remove us one step further from getting the best leadership (whomever it may be - -young, old, male, female) and reduce us to getting 10% from this group, 10% from that group, and so on and so on.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It is interesting how as Pentecostals we insist on using the hermeutical principle that passages are to be interpreted literally unless the context dictates otherwise with passages dealing with tongues and prophecy in 1 Cor. 12-14, yet depart from that principle in how we treat 1 Tim. 2:12-14, in which Paul states that he does not allow women to be in authority over men in the church. He does not tie his reasons for doing so to anything cultural (such as women usurping the less than forceful Timothy's leadership position), but to 1) men having been created first, and to 2) Eve's having been deceived. Groups such as the Southern Baptist Convention, Evangelical Free Church and Calvary Chapel do not allow ladies to pastor or serve as elders because of taking this passage literally (and not due to any difference in ability, gifting or spirituality.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Praise the Lord. May I comment? If the good Lord places an anointing on a female to minister, and there is fruit of the same, what is there to question? Savings souls should be the concern Saints of God. Let the Saints seek the Lord that His will be done. For He can use whomever He choses.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[To Chris Hartman- so let me get this straight...Adam takes the apple from Eve knowing FULL WELL what he was doing, and everything is cool-but Eve is told (and all women henceforth) that because she believed a lie she is never to have a place of authority in the church? You really need to come up with a better argument dude.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Regarding female pastors...I don't think anyone would listen to me, and I know I've heard the arguments that allow female pastors, but I do not believe it is a God ordained position. My Great Grandmother was a traveling Assemblies of God evangelist in beginning in 1925 (est). On my dining room wall hangs her picture and her AG preachers license. She wore a white long robe that covered her when she preached, and she traveled the railroad of West Virginia until the 1930"s preaching wherever they would have her. What I have a hard time with female pastors, is they are not to be over other women's husbands and men in general. There are many reasons why I could think that woman should not be pastors, and none of them have to do with intelligence or capibility. But I agree with Paul...and I don't think he said it just because it was a cultural thing in his generation. Paul spoke for all generations that would grown up in Christ!!! God bless you all!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It is disconcerting to find serious errors in the 'Ministry News" segment of this magazine. There's no by-line, but the writer/writers are not doing their homework, as has been addressed re the errors in this article. "Black to the Faith" contained unreliable. incomplete content as well. Is this a habit at "Ministry Today", as it is in secular news reporting? Christian publications should maintain a higher standard.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[As a Baptist pastor and church planter I find this question to be easily resolved if you were to read and study works such as "Contextualizing the NT". It's not deep theological rocket science - simply becoming open to God's heart for reconciling His creation(s) to Himself.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[To Brother Chris: Even though Paul was converted to Christianity, he still observed the Law. He still was practicing circumcision among other things. Are we still under the Law or Grace? The Law did not allow us to preach. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster (Galatians 3:25) Acts 21:8-9 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him. And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy. Quit trying to figure out if a woman should preach or not and go win some souls for Christ.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Do we detect a bit of a chip on your shoulder, dear Hispanic Pastor? The A/G loves you and your race, with many outreaches and opportunities offered you. What a gift the Lord has bestowed upon the Church through the Hispanic/Latino people! Have you, personally, prepared yourself for a position as Executive Presbyter? Work hard. Pursue excellence, Avoid any whiff of reverse racism. A minister's gift will make room for him. Maintain a sweet and humble spirit. Your day will come, when you are prepared to accept the responsibilties of leadership with humility, love, and proper submission.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yes, this is good for the younger people. Otherwise there was no way for the fresh leadership. Younger generation had to wait for the death of the older and thats how many talented and promising young ministers have moved on from AG. AG is still a bunch of old dogs waiting to die.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[In regards to female pastors and leaders and what seems to be changes in our society... what do you think Paul had in mind in this verse when he wrote to Timothy? "1Ti 2:12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. " - ESV Later one Paul continues on... 1Ti 3:15 if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth. - ESV Women are equal spiritually, but given different roles within the church. I think Paul explains why... 1Ti 2:13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. - ESV]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Apparently what I had said before wasn't posted. I had said that this article has some inacurracies. First that it is the meeting of the worldwide AG when it is only a meeting of the US AG General Council. Second, these positions on paper have always been opened to ordained men and women in the denomination. Societal sexism had caused the body not to do it in the past. This merely corrects that wrong. This could have been done just by voting for women. Now, we are creating a position in which only women and people under 40 could be elected. Don't act like we didn't believe women could hold these positions because we did. Now read the other post]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome news from the Assemblies of God. Inclusion of women at higher levels of ministry marks progress, and allowing younger ministers to rise within the church shows great wisdom. A church which refuses to change its leadership style often becomes ingrown, and ministerial "dynasties" take control as father passes his church and leadership positions to his son(s). The proposed changes are more than a breath of fresh air...they bring the sound of a rushing mighty wind. With this outlook, it isn't surprising that the A/G is growing in numbers and outreach.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It's more of God's mandate for men and women to work side by side and in unity for the furtherance of the Gospel in this hour. The mandate has been beautifully expressed through Jane Hansen and Aglow, Intl. .... the fruit of that appearing as male Aglow groups and mixed groups are formed and as Promise Keepers soon has Jane as their keynote speaker. I'm experiencing it myself as I begin The Women's Church in Panama City, FL and am fully supported by my pastor saying, "You go girl", even though the new church will be a totally separate entity. He's not afraid of loosing his women to me and I'm not afraid of loosing my women to him. We are both consumed with being red hot lovers of God and red hot lovers of the churched and the unchurched in our city.]]></description>

The releasing in ministry of the Gladys Aylwards, Amy Carmichaels and Jackie Pullingers waiting in the wings for general acknowledgement and support will be of monumental benefit to the Kingdom of God. We want to hear more as this progresses. Thank you!]]></description>
