Throughout Christian history, whenever experience, culture, personality, or institutional interests have been permitted to supersede the authority of God's Word, the Church has experienced doctrinal confusion and spiritual decline. This concern is particularly relevant to contemporary Pentecostalism, including Pentecostal Christianity in Kerala, India. The early Pentecostal movement emerged within a deeply biblical environment and emphasized conversion, holiness, prayer, the work of the Holy Spirit, missionary commitment, and the authority of Scripture. However, sections of contemporary Pentecostalism have i...

While some interpreters argue that the New Testament establishes unrestricted equality in ecclesial ministry, others maintain that Scripture affirms the full spiritual equality and significant ministry of women while reserving the authoritative teaching and governing office of elder or pastor for qualified men. This article examines these issues through a literary, historical, and theological reading of the relevant New Testament texts. It argues that Scrip...
