Grenz's more detailed argument: since the Spirit calls believer-priests to ministry, gender cannot be an overriding disqualifying factor.

Grenz writes: 'within this fellowship of believer priests, race, social status, and gender cannot be overriding factors that disqualify a believer priest for selection to leadership among God's people, for service in the pastorate is based on the Spirit's sovereign call and gifting.' Mike appreciates Grenz's scholarly, less emotionally laden writing style.
