where the list of 20 Spiritual Gifts come from?We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is
prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him
serve; if it is teaching, let him
teach; if it is encouraging, let him
encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him
give generously; if it is leadership, let him
govern diligently; if it is
showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
(Romans 12:6-8)To one there is given through the Spirit the message of
wisdom, to another the message of
knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another
faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of
healing by that one Spirit, to another
miraculously powers, to another
prophecy, to another
distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of
tongues, and to still another the
interpretation of tongues.
(1 Corinthians 12:8-10)And in the church God has appointed first of all
apostles, second
prophets, third
teachers, then
workers of miracles, also those having gifts of
healing, those able to
help others, those with gifts of
administration, and those speaking in different kinds of
tongues (1 Corinthians 12:28)In was he who gave some to be
apostles, some to be
prophets, some to be
evangelists, and some to be
pastors and
teachers.
(Ephesians 4:11)Offer
hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms
(1 Peter 4:9-10).
