1 Corinthians 12:8-11 — speaking gifts (word of wisdom, word of knowledge, tongues, interpretation) seem available to women by analogy with prophecy

Things I Didn't Know as a Complementarian: Women in Ministry part 6 01:40:39 – 01:42:10

Mike examines another gifts list and finds it would be arbitrary to say women can prophesy but not have other speaking gifts.

1 Corinthians 12:8-11 lists: utterance of wisdom, utterance of knowledge, faith, gifts of healing, miracles, prophecy, distinguishing between spirits, tongues, and interpretation of tongues. Teaching and leading are not on this list, but several speaking gifts are. Since women prophesied publicly, it would be arbitrary to say they could not exercise word of wisdom, word of knowledge, or interpretation of tongues.
