    Romans 1:26–27; 1 Corinthians 6:9–10; historic universal Christian teaching.

    Natural reading of Matthew 13:55–56 (brothers of Jesus); typical modern Baptist / evangelical position.

  • Women in pastoral / ordained officeSTRONG
    1 Timothy 2:12; 1 Corinthians 14:34; historic apostolic practice.
Wrestles with

    Paedobaptist bodies practice adult baptism on credible profession where infant baptism was omitted, but do not consider it normative.

    Default just-war framework — usually unwritten. Inheriting at weak confidence.
  • Real Presencestandard
    Calvin's spiritual presence (genuinely present but not physically) is neither strong affirm nor deny; Anglican/Methodist typically hold a receptionist view.
  • Theotokosweak
    Confessionally valid title (Ephesus is a received council) but not used devotionally; retained in liturgy where liturgy is retained.
