My mother was a preacher.
I am a 3rd generational Pentecostal.
My wife and I was married by a lady minister.
My wife’s sister was a lady minister.
Has God used lady ministers? Definitely yes.
1 Corinthians 14 says for a woman to keep silent in the church.
I attend a small Assembly Of God.
Most of the attendees are ladies.
We have messages in tongues most of the times given by ladies.
Interpretations has also been given by the ladies.
Prophetic utterances have been given by ladies.
I am not going to go against scripture, but I do believe it was Apostle Paul’s preference about ladies not having leadership roles not necessarily the Holy Ghost.
Also look at Acts 16 and you will see that a lady, was allowed to speak about Paul’s ministry.
Though later on she also was found to be demon possessed. But this continued for a few days. I believe he had to get the mind of the Lord before proceeding.
Now I personally believe that a church benefits better when a man is the pastor.
Yes, I have been members of churches with ladies as pastors. As a matter of fact I attended for years.
But I do not feel it is wise for a lady to serve any higher office than a local pastor, such as sectional pastor, district overseer or general overseer.
I do believe in the Biblical submission in marriage and that includes the church
That’s my opinion.
So unhealthy feminism equals ordination of women as bishops in the Church of God in your opinion? I’m not sure if men should be bishops in the Church of God. All men want is power. Plus their tendency to compete against each other doesn’t help build unity in the Church, only division.
Well that isn’t what Kyle said.

When ladies can be the “husband of one wife”, then they can lead and teach men.
We’re not our bodies, Charles.
