[Bob Pickle]

Also kind of an interesting argument that because Paul and Silas were authorized to do this, whatever it is, that since neither one of them was a female, then no female forever after cannot be authorized to do the same!

But that has never been the argument, right?

Paul and Barnabas' ordination is the biblical basis for what authorization ordination of gospel ministers within Adventism confers. It does not address the question of the gender of who can be thus ordained. 1 Cor. 14 and 1 Tim. 2 address that question.

Should one base one's eternal salvation on being opposed to a female doing something Paul did?

The problem, Johann, is that a number of people are using the personal opinions on this subject as justification for rebellion and attacking the Seventh-day Adventist church structure. And rebellion does put one's eternal salvation at risk. It certainly caused Lucifer and his followers to lose out on eternal life.
