Winger defends his call for egalitarians to repent, distinguishing it from Calvinism disagreements because egalitarianism directly harms marriages and church leadership structure. He also calls patriarchalists to repent for teaching women are inherently more easily deceived.

10 Questions with Mike Winger (Episode 8) 01:27:45 – 01:37:25

Q&A question from someone who agrees egalitarians should repent but asks if the same applies to Calvinism as a secondary issue.

Key arguments: (1) Egalitarianism is higher stakes than Calvinism because it directly impacts marriage structure and church leadership — 'the structure of your marriage is super valuable.' (2) Calvinism doesn't naturally kill evangelism; hyper-Calvinism might, but that's not the natural result. (3) The specific egalitarians who should repent are those who publicly teach that husbands don't have headship, that 'head' means 'source,' and who convince churches to put people in leadership roles the Bible says aren't for them. (4) He ALSO called patriarchalists/complementarians to repent of teaching that women are 'in general just more easily deceived than men' — he gave line-item evidence against this view and considers it harmful and unbiblical. (5) Private egalitarian belief is less of an issue; it's the public teaching affecting marriages and churches that requires repentance. (6) He prays for peace between both sides while maintaining egalitarianism is 'fundamentally wrong' and 'harmful to marriages.' (7) Closing prayer asks God to help the church 'simultaneously honor male headship as well as honoring women's integrity and value and their role and authority.'
