Women prophesying congregationally in the Bible — some speech to mixed groups is permitted

Everything Women Can and Can't Do According to the Bible: Women in Ministry part 13 03:18:05 – 03:19:07

Mike uses biblical prophecy as evidence women can speak in congregational settings.

OT female prophets: Miriam, Huldah, Deborah. Women prophesied congregationally in 1 Corinthians 11 to a mixed group. Women prophesied in Acts 21 and Luke 2 in public. This means women could speak in a congregation to a mixed gathering. Prophecy implies some degree of teaching (though not the official elder teaching position). The rule about no teaching is not super hard and completely broad — it applies to elder-type function specifically.
