Acts 2:17
17 'AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,' God says, 'THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND; AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS; 18 EVEN ON MY BONDSLAVES, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, I WILL IN THOSE DAYS POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT And they shall prophesy.
What ever view I have on the role of men and women, this verse cannot be ignored. The Holy Spirit is to be poured out on both men and women and both men and women are to prophesy although the scriptural view on prophesy is often different from the common pictures of what this is to mean, this by no means negates 1 Corinthians 14 or 1 Timothy 2.
