Answer 1

All Christians have been given at least one spiritual gift by the Holy Spirit. Many Christians have several spiritual gifts, with typically one dominant gift; this group of gifts is called a gift cluster. The purpose of spiritual gifts is to unify Christians in their faith, build each other up, and to produce growth within the church, both numerical and spiritual. Spiritual gifts are to be used out of love for God and for others, and in service for God and to others.

When Christians talk of Spiritual gifts they tend to think they are all supernatural, which isn't true at all.

Answer 2

The gifts are still available.

Cessationism and dispensationalism (a religious ministry or activity lasting for a fixed period) say that the gifts were given solely for the foundation of the Church and finished either on the death of the last Apostle or the establishment of the Scriptural canon at the Council of Carthage (397 CE). They cite 1 Corinthians 13:8-10. However, the argument doesn’t usually go into the meaning of the following verse 12: ‘...for now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.’

The only way the ‘perfect’ or ‘complete’ comes is when we are face to face in heaven with Christ and only then will we know fully as we have been fully known. Only then will the partial (the gifts) be done away.

Answer 3

It is genetics, now not God that offers us special presents. Numerous stories have proven that followed youngsters raised in very special environments have had equivalent capabilities and curiosity as their organic father and mother. There are many special competencies and skills that may end up in good fortune. The trick is discovering what you're excellent at and dealing on it. There need to be whatever that pursuits you. Something you uncover your self spending such a lot of you entertainment time doing or desire you might do.

Answer 4

The first gift wants you to have is the gift of righteousness - becoming acceptable in His sight by faith in what Jesus Christ accomplished for you on the cross. This must always be the first of the spiritual gifts, because without it, the other gifts are all tainted with our own corruption.
