The New Testament teaches clearly and repeatedly that believers are to relate to one another with humility, respect, mutual submission, and an attitude of servanthood. Every believer has the responsibility to exercise his or her ministry gifts, and no believer has biblical warrant to deny or restrict other believers' Christlike use of their gifts in ministry. There is no socially or biologically based inequity in spiritual status. Every believer is an inheritor of God's gifts and is called to exercise authority in God's kingdom, both in this life and in the life to come.
All believers are equal recipients of the rights and privileges of spiritual sonship.
God is neither male nor female, and neither gender images God any more or less or differently than the other. Divine authority is not grounded in maleness, nor are men better representatives of God than women. Gender as an ontological category is attributable only to human nature, not to God's nature. Biblically, gender has no bearing on a person's fitness to represent or speak for God. Every believer has been given the priestly ministry of representing Christ to the world and the church, and of ministering to, hearing from, and standing accountable directly to God.
