Summary of gifts argument: women likely have teaching/leadership gifts, no scripture limits those gifts by gender, but limitations are on who can be an elder specifically
Mike summarizes his conclusions from the gifts argument.
Four points: (1) Women can be gifted in leadership/teaching — the passages apply to both sexes. (2) No scripture limits who gets these gifts by gender. (3) Limitations on women are specifically about leading over men in the role of elder, not about having or using the gifts. (4) Anecdotal evidence from experience confirms women have these gifts.
