deluxe_pastor:
"Pastor ordains apostle? What's the precedence for that in scriptures?"
GabrielChimaR:
"Why is she putting on black."
BamtopB:
"Many things are just wrong in our Pentecostal system. This new status is more of a devolution in how we’ve seen you. You can still affect your generation without this whole …"
Nasibzubairu1:
"APOSTLESHIP IS NOT FOR WOMEN OH, PLEASE DONT DO THIS MISTAKE."
Xen2ury:
"Apostleship is not for women, don't be mistaken."
AkpCharles:
"Nobody is dragging this? This is interesting…we are making progress then."
DibiaConfi48238:
"Church business Dey boom."
heroism2000:
"This misadventure will end in deep pain for all those involved. Sad. The bible doesn't permit a woman to teach men doctrine in a church. Can you see the total madness of Commissioning a female apostle? Is the Bible now a dead book? The blindness in the church is terrible!"
Paul recognised a female apostle - Spiricoco
Contrary to claims that it was wrong to ordain women as apostles, Spiricoco, a Christian influencer, revealed that the Bible made mention of a female apostle.
"Well, people have their reservations. But Paul acknowledged a female apostle in Romans 16:7 (KJV): “Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.” Junia was female. So, there’s precedence."
