Bible Question: Explain spiritual gifts ? ? |
Bible Answer: Spiritual Gifts: I Corinthians 12:8, Wisdom: Knowledge: Faith: Healing: Miracles: Prophecy: Discernment: Tongues; and the Interpretation of Tongues Romans 12:6, Prophecy: Ministry: Teaching: and Exhortation I believe we are talking about a total of 12 Spiritual Gifts altogether. According to I Corinthians 12:4-11 The Holy Spirit distributes these gifts to the Children of God as He wills. I believe that every believer has a Spiritual Gift. Do you know what yours is?? These gifts are for the edifying of the body as a whole and not for the edifying of the individual. It is for the glorifying of God and not for the glorification of the individual. In the Corinthian Church, the usage of these gifts was causing problems. They were not being used properly and for the right reason. In chp. 14 for example the Gift of Tongues were not being done decently and in order. But notice what Paul believes the Greatest Gift is. I Corinthians 13:1-13. The CurtMan |
