REASON #3
- Women can’t baptize other women. Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:4-8, 13-14; 2:17-18
Listen to our good buddy John MacArthur on this point too:
During the first few centuries of the church, the role of a woman servant (diakonos) was to care for fellow believers who were sick, for the poor, for strangers passing through, and for the imprisoned. They also were responsible for helping baptize and disciple new women converts and to instruct children and other women.
