AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 12:9 to another [wonder-working] faith [is given] by the same [Holy] Spirit, and to another the [extraordinary] gifts of healings by the one Spirit; |
Subject: What is the spiritual gift of faith? |
Bible Note: A most excellent answer! Charis, yours is a very well thought out and well put answer. I agree with you: The Holy Spirit distributes spiritual gifts to each one individually as He (the Holy Spirit) wills (see 1 Cor 12:11.) The gifts are not given primarily to glorify or build up the individual who is given the gift. Rather they are to be excercised in love (1 Cor 13 and 14) and are for the purpose of "equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ" (Eph 4:12 NKJV). Finally, 1Co 14:40 (KJV) "Let all things be done decently and in order." |
