“First of all, neither in the OT or in the NT, is there a clear distinction made between prophecy or teaching in terms of “forthtelling” or “proclaiming” God’s revealed word. ”

True and where Grudem, et. al. also get in trouble is when someone points out how the Puritans defined prophecy. They tend to ignore that uncomfortable position even though they are quite willing to quote the Puritans on many other issues. Of course, the Puritans were not concerned about women prophesying so they did not need to twist the meaning. :o)
