Ordination of Women

[Yeshua1]

The church is still autonomous. An example: In 2015 the Connecticut region withdrew the ordination of a pastor accused of bilking an elderly parishioner out of thousands of dollars. The church, however, had the authority to retain him, which it did, until it voted him out, then rescinded the vote and then, finally, dismissed him.

That is to safeguard/prevent a Pastor/leader doing sinful acts, teaching false doctrines, and wants to sin still, and refuses local church discipline...

 

[Baptist Believer]

Cam women be eithr pastors/elders? No, per Bible, yes to all other roles though in church!

Elders in Baptist Churches aremale leaders, set apart to teach/guide/lead th local church, an our pastor is the Senior Elder on staff.
There are no scriptures supporting women installed as a Pastor/elder...

Yes, I get it. You don't think women can be pastors or elders according to the scriptures. You have been heard. (Many times, in fact.)

You need to realize that some serious conservative scholars, as well as regular interpreters of scripture, do not see the blanket prohibition against women serving in those areas BECAUSE of their reading of the same scripture.

There is a diversity of opinion on this issue. I have been on both sides of the issue in my Christian walk and understand how various people interpret the texts. I personally do not see a prohibition against women serving in any capacity in the church. You do.

This thread is not about that issue, nor am I interested in having a debate about the issue.

Let's stick to the question in the OP.

Some SBC churches still subscribe to the 1963 BF&M (which does not mention female pastors)

Graham is the author of several books and travels across the U.S. sharing her testimony through conferences and bible teachings

Billy Graham was unable to attend Sunday's service, but sent along a message of congratulations for his daughter.

What ONE verse could be used to support tha wmen can be ordained as such?

There were the 1925, 1963, andlatest was 2000, correct?

What was she ordained to? I don't see anywhere that she is called "Reverend" or that she is a pastor. We have ordained people to the mission field - which is very different than a pastoral ordination.

Reminder for the umpteenth time what this thread is about:

First - this thread is NOT about a women being the Senior pastor of a local church.

However, should a women be ordained -say for women's, music, or children's ministries?

 

[Baptist Believer]

What ONE verse could be used to support tha wmen can be ordained as such?

The New Testament demonstrates that women were fully integrated into life and ministry of the church, including prophesying (speaking/teaching) and evangelism. What evidence do you have that women should NOT be ordained by a church to serve in any position?

 

[Jerome]

We have ordained people to the mission field

Now we're talking. Another ministry to which women can be ordained. Thank you.

Fundamentalists will recognize Tremont Temple as the church pastored in the 1920s by the first president of the Fundamental Baptist Fellowship, J. C. Massee:

More recently, Tremont Temple hosted the kick off of the SBC's North American Mission Board's 'Send North America' tour:

Aaron Coe, NAMB’s vice president for mobilization and marketing, recounted that the likes of D.L. Moody, Billy Sunday and Billy Graham have preached in senior pastor Denton Lotz’s pulpit

I just stedtat there is NO biblical evidence tha NT churches ordained Women as either Pastors/Elders, but rest you listed here are fine!

Not necessialry - some are simply saying some churches are ordaining women. Doest necessarily mean we agree with that

NO Baptsit church sould be ordaining them to be eithe rPastors or Elders, correct?

 

[Jerome]

Baptist churches, if obeying th Bible, sould not hve women in roles of senior pastor/elders....

They would not accept a senior pastor ordained as a female, correct? Nor any Female Elders?

The problem isthat there are NO NT verses that support women ordained as eihter Pastors/Elders in a church.

Cam women be eithr pastors/elders? No, per Bible

There are no scriptures supporting women installed as a Pastor/elder
