<<  The FACTs of ACTs and the rest of the WORD of God speak for themselves.
 Why do we feel that we "must defend them?"  I think our male egos get
 threatened and we just "react."  Maybe we need to ask the Lord to
 "reconsider" His choice of vessels out of whom to speak?  (toungue -in-

 WHAT? Came the Word of the Lord OUT of YOU????
 
 Yes fellas, we need to search our hearts a bit on this "Women Question" >>

The question has nothing at all to do with our ego, that is rather a low blow
don't you think.Some of us are talking about  5 fold ministry and some of us
are talking about just good old plain ministry. And although they are alike
in some ways there operation is entirely different.

This discussion reminds me of some who talk about the use of tongues in the
church and some are talking about other tongues and some about unknown
tongues, and although they might have some simularities as for as the world
or unlearned is concerned, different rules govern there use.

I believe that we all have a ministry, and in that ministry we serve one
another in the body of Christ as members in particular.  But the 5 fold
ministry is a gift of God that He has given to the Church, not just for
edification, but for the perfection of the Saints. Our ego has nothing at all
to do with it, its not a gender thing as for as we are concerned, it operates
within the framework of Holy Writ, whether we agree with it, or whether we
are aware of some exceptions they we would like to make rule with. Regardless
of our feelings the exception will never be the rule. Its much better if we
stay safely within the scope of Holy Writ, instead of wresting the scriptures
to our own disadvantage. God Bless you all, after all its the same Bible that
gave us Acts 2:38 even if the world doesn't think it is necessary.
