1 | So,spiritual gifts that are Spirit given | NT general Archive 1 | Ray | 122030 | ||
Hi Kalos, I agree that spiritual gifts are Spirit-given. I remember two people speaking in this thread about Spiritual gifts; but should this not have been written in the lower case "spiritual" as in your quote? People also speak of the "Gift" and the "Baptism". Do they know what they are talking about? From the heart, Ray |

Ray - Do you really have an issue if a word is in lower case, or not? I say again, the original were all capitals. I think many people do not know what they are talking about on "Gift" and "Baptism", because they don't check out Scripture enough. |

Hi Searcher56, Whether the original languages were in all CAPS or all lower case, God would want us to know that even though there are many gods there is only one God. Isaiah 46:9, "Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me." Surely, Searcher56 even you would take issue with some one who would put God in a lower case for John 1:1. 1) As far as "gift" is concerned, three or four Scriptures come to mind. These Scriptures deal with the gifts of the Holy Spirit; and they are difficult in that I do not know if they should be in lower case "holy spirit" or not. I still distinguish between the Giver and the gift. Are these gifts (holy spirit) or do they speak of the Person of the Holy Spirit? Hebrews 2:4, "God bearing witness with them, both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and by gifts of the (h)Holy (s)Sprit according to His own will." Acts 2:38, "and you shall receive the gift of the (h)Holy (s)Spirit." Acts 10:45, "...because the gift of the (h)Holy (s)Spirit had been poured out upon the Gentiles also." Are these gifts of or from? Are they gifts of holy spirit or gifts from the Holy Spirit? 2) When people say that they have received the Gift or have received the Baptism of the Holy Spirt, are they saying that they have received the Person or His holy spirit? 3) I peronally distinguish between the Holy Spirit coming upon us and between being filled with holy spirit. John 4:10, "Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink', you would have asked Him and He would have given you living water." The question is: Do we know Him or "it" when we hear Him or "it"? Does He give the Spirit or the spirit without measure? Who or what does He pour out? Are we told not to quench the Spirit or the spirit? From the heart, Ray |

The gift of the Holy Spirit is what we receive at salvation, as you have indicated above. Then there are the gifts He gives (1 Cor 12), so the church can function. | ||||||

Hi Steve, What I indicated above is that we have a choice of lower or upper case S. My question was "Are these gifts of or from?" What I would say is that the gift that we receive FROM the Holy Spirit is salvation; plus the word of wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, various tongues, etc (1 Cor 12). Is that what you would say, however? 1 Cor 12:11 goes on with, "But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills." He distributes the gifts, even the living water of John 4:10 when we know Him, the Giver. My question to you would be "Does He give the Spirit or the spirit without measure?" From the heart, Ray What I want people to consider is the gift OF holy spirit FROM the Holy Spirit. |
