Pushback 2: If the Holy Spirit is the source of the gender limitation, then ignoring it removes the Spirit's sovereign call

Things I Didn't Know as a Complementarian: Women in Ministry part 6 00:47:06 – 00:48:09

Grenz claims gender restrictions remove the Spirit's sovereign call. Mike flips this argument.

If the Holy Spirit is the one telling us only men can be elders, then Grenz's argument collapses — ignoring that limitation would be removing the sovereign call of the Spirit, not honoring it. Forcing women into eldership positions the Spirit has not ordained would itself violate the Spirit's sovereignty.
