One Spirit, many gifts

Paul names wisdom, knowledge, faith, gifts of healings, miracles, prophecy, discernment, tongues, and interpretation. He attributes them to the same Spirit, who distributes as He wills for the common good. Do not reduce the gifts to personality traits or use them as status symbols. In GFM's continuationist understanding, these gifts remain part of the church's life and must serve people in love.

Put the Word into practice

Read the gifts Paul names. Ask the Spirit to equip you to serve and seek mature, accountable guidance.
