Yes, it matters. Here are some examples:

Mark 1:17
Gender-neutral NIrV: "... I will make you fishers of people."
Revised NIrV: "... I will make you fishers of men."

John 11:50
Gender-neutral NIrV: "It is better if one person dies for the people ..."
Revised NIrV: "It is better if one man dies ..."

Acts 1:21
Gender-neutral NIrV: "So we need to choose someone to take his place. It will have to be a person ..."
Revised NIrV: "... It will have to be a man ..."

If those are your best examples then what is all the panic about? Were the disciples only interested in saving the souls of men or people.

Might I suggest if you dont want it, dont buy it. Both versions plus many others will continue to be available.
