1 Corinthians 12:28 — 'administrating' (leadership) appears as a gift distinct from the office of teacher
Mike examines another gifts list.
1 Corinthians 12:28: 'God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, administrating, and various kinds of tongues.' The first three (apostles, prophets, teachers) are offices; the rest are gifts. The word 'administrating' seems to be a leadership gift that anyone could have. However, Mike notes the initial apostles were all male, so some gender dynamics may still apply to offices.
