Though the apostolic-age experience of direct revelation through prophecy is no longer in effect today, public prayer by women of the congregation should be no less enthusiastically received than that of men. Likewise, a word of testimony offered by a woman, or the reading of the Scriptures, or the reading of Scripture offered with a word concerning the Lord’s work in her life should not be denied the godly, qualified woman. It is, as we have seen, the ministry of authoritatively expounding and proclaiming the written Word of God that falls most definitively within the confines of biblical restriction (p. 140).
