  • Spiritual Gifts may be given from one person to another (Romans 1:11)
  • Spiritual Gifts may be given by way of prophecy & the laying on of hands (1st
    Timothy 4:14)
  • We cannot decline or turn away from Spiritual Gifts that are given (Romans
    11:29)
  • Spiritual Gifts differ according to what the Holy Spirit has given us (Romans
    12:6 & 1st Corinthians 12:4)
  • We can neglect our Spiritual Gifts to the point where we need to stir them
    up again within ourselves (2nd Timothy 1:6)
  • There is a diversity of Gifts, Services, & Energies (1st Corinthians 12:4-6)
  • The Holy Spirit becomes Visible (Manifest) for the profit of the common
    good (1st Corinthians 12:7)

The Holy Spirit sometimes chooses to work in ways of Gifts at the time of
Conversion.  Even if this happens, they are the beginnings of future progresses to be
made in the life of the Believer.  For example, at the point of Conversion, some may
gain a great and compassionate mercy for humankind, or enormous mountain-moving
faith, or the ability to speak in unknown tongues.  Again, in the lives of others, these
Divine Blessings may not come for months or even years.  But one thing is for
certain: all of the Gifts are free to us and available for us today.
