Top Highlights
“Where Complementarians and Egalitarians disagree is whether women can serve as the Senior Pastor or as a Ruling Elder in the local church, what I call senior governmental authority. Egalitarians believe the Bible permits women to hold such positions of leadership, while Complementarians do not.” (Page 3)
“Complementarianism asserts that God has created both men and women (1) in his image, of equal value and dignity as human persons, but (2) with a distinction in the roles and responsibilities each is to fulfill in both church and home.” (Page 4)
“Headship does not mean that the husband must make every decision in the home” (Page 6)
“would define marriage as the enjoyment of spiritual and physical unity based on a life-long, covenant commitment.” (Page 5)
“Prophecy, unlike teaching, does not entail the exercise of an authoritative position within the local church. The prophet was but an instrument through whom revelation is reported to the congregation. People who prophesied did not officially (or authoritatively) interpret or apply Scripture to life.” (Page 24)
