God called different women as Prophetess ..
a prophetess speaks FOR God ...so to me, this verse is not meant as an absolute ..
_____________________________________________
Let's stick to the New Testament.
One who is called into the office of a prophet,
must have the gift of prophecy: but having the gift of prophecy does not necessarily make one a prophet. Else there would be an abundance of men in the office of "prophet" within the Ministry (Yes, I said men).
Women also can have the gift of prophecy, for they are given to the Church
"...to profit withal...". And because of the gift, a woman can be called a "prophetess", to distinguish them from a male who has the similar gift to prophesy. If the man is not called into the office in the Ministry, he can also be called a "prophet" because of the gift that is operating in him. However, that
does
not qualify him as Prophet
in the Ministry!
Phillip, the Evangelist, had two daughters who prophesied. Were they holding an office in the Ministry, or were they used in the gift? It is in the
gift of prophecy, and not in the
office of Prophet. I hope you can see that one is a
calling (Ministry); the other,
a gift.
