The Holy Spirit never leads in contrary to His inspired Word the bible.
In several places in the New Testament (not to mention the choice of our Lord of 12 men as his Apostles) qualifications are given as to church leadership/teachers. In every place, for general church leadership (over men and women) it is very clear that these were to be men, period. Older women are instructed to teach younger women--but leaders and teachers of the whole church are to be men.
I don't care how good a teacher any particular woman is, or how "led by the Holy Spirit" they are, or how many they "win to the faith" by definition if they try to teach and have authority over men, they are sinning against God's written word, and God's clearly written plan of church leadership.
If Pentacostals and others want to violate scriptural teaching on this, that is their business, it is a free country--but please, do not try to claim the Holy Spirit led you in this.
So God absolutely cannot work through a woman when she's teaching a man? Never, under any circumstances?
And you actually believe that God only works when men teach other men and women?
This is bizarre.
Why shouldn't people who believe they've been led by the Holy Spirit say so?
Which is why Mary Magdalene proclaimed the Resurrection to the Apostles???
I hope your narrow mindedness doesn't keep you from explaining yourself when you are seeking to hear those 7 wonderful words.
If we don't praise Him, He can have the rocks cry out to Him. If there is not a man who will teach, God won't be limited in providing a means to get His message out. Shame on you for singling out people. We Pentacostals are not the only ones you are condemning when you say these harsh words.
I SAY AGAIN, THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NO RESPECTOR OF PERSONS. What God lifts up, no man can tear down.
I would rather be a forgiven sinner than a blind trying to preach to the blind their warped convictions.
Each of us has his/her own covenant with Christ Jesus. What may be right for one may not be right for another because God said he would not put more on us than we can endure. Also, we each take a different road in life with different trials and tribulations but we all hope to end up at the same finish line. I feel sorry for you that you have this awful burden to bear as part of your journey home. I will pray for you.
