The answer is yes, because god not does see gender - he sees spirit and in the spirit - there is no gender. Galatians 3: 25-29 25 but now that faith in Christ has come, we no longer need the law as our guardian. 26 so you are children of god through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 and all who been united with Christ in baptism have been made like him. 28 there is no longer Jew or gentile, slave or free, male or female. For you are all Christians - you are one in Christ Jesus. 29 and now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and now all the promises god gave to him belong to you. Joel 2: 28-29 28 " then after I poured out my rains again, I will pour out my spirit upon all people. Your son and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions. 29 in those days, I will pour out my spirit even on servants, men and women alike. What is a diakonos? (Greek word) daikonos is a deacon. What is a deacon? Deacon is a servant or known as " wait on." Our bible speaks about phoebe. Roman 16: 1- 2 -1 our sister phoebe, a deacon in the church in Cenchrea, will be coming to see you soon. 2 receive her in the lord, as one who is worthy of high honor. Help her in every way you can, for she has helped many in their needs, including me. As you can see phoebe was known as a " deacon " or servant. Apparently she was a wealthy person who supported Paul’s ministry. Phoebe was highly regarded in the church and she may have delivered this letter from Corinth to Rome. This provides evidence that women had important roles in the early church. Cenchrea, the town where Phoebe lived, was the eastern port Corinth, six miles from the city center. In our bible, female ministers are mentioned as true servants of god.
Yes, women can become a deacon or higher in the church. Amen! Praise the lord!!!
