Do you have a Spiritual Gift? - 06-02-05, 08:47 PM

I was reading a book on Spiritual gifts in preparation for a series of Sermons. And it had some interesting thoughts about the Spiritual Gifts. So, I am asking for some answers from this sites members, I plan also to give a survey to my church, as I prepare to teach on Spiritual gifts, I would like to know where they stand, as to understanding the gift.
So if you would please help me, to get a read on how Christians feel about the topic.

1.Do you have a Spiritual gift? If Yes, respond and tell what it is.

2. Have you ever taken a Spiritual gifts test?

3.If Yes, to question 2, did the test reveal your gift as stated above?

4.Are Spiritual gifts and the Gifts of the Spirit the same?

5.Are the fruits of the Spirit and the Spritual gifts the same?

6.Do all the Spiritual gifts still operate today?

7.Do some of the Spiritual gifts operate today?

8.Is a Spiritual gift received at the moment of Salvation?

9.Do you or will you always have the same Spiritual gift?

10.Is there a difference between a Spiritual gift and a talent?


Thanks for you answers, I look forward to reading them.

In Christ Service,
Your Pastor T

I'm sure your speaking of specific spiritual gifts such as healing, interpretation, etc.

However, mine is what all believers have. The gift of the Holy Spirit :) Thanks to Jesus Christ!

Spiritual gifts are a blessing, and my favorite chapter in the whole bible is 1 cor. 11 or 12. One or the other. It tells all the different gifts. I have been blesse with gifts. One speaking in tounges(Prayer language, I've never spoke over anyone) two distinguishing between spirits. And I've been blessed with intercessory prayer as most know. Thanks be to God for He is great!

God Bless

Pastor T hey great question(s) here is my answer(s)

1) yes I do have spiritual gifts decernment, prayer language

2) yes

3)I took a test and yes it did reflect my gifts but I think people need to be very truthfull when answering those questions and not answer what they think is "right"

4) I find no shame in telling you that I dont know the answer of that for sure. I am rather a new babe in Christ so I have much to learn.

5) same answer as 4

6) yes

7) I think that was answered for me in 6 if not I dont think I fully understood what you where asking:)

8) Ok this one is opinion and I am unsure if I am right so feel free to bounce back with it but.. I think the answer is sometimes... I think that your gift will develope more ,with more you put in and seeking the gift.

9) I dont know ,I think that anything is possible :)

10) well I guess it depends on what you mean by a talent because there are unsaved people who are talented. Everything is a gift from God ... but not always a gift of the Spirit. God will use your talemts but bless us with awesome gifts too...

These are just my thoughts . See this is the talking I have been missing. Please brother tell me what your thought sre from my response I love to learn and hear what my brothers and sisters can teach me .. God Bless!


I am not but..... I know I AM

Hope this is of some use... - 06-03-05, 11:18 PM

I lack knowledge but I'll try my best .... hope it can be of some use..

1.Do you have a Spiritual gift? If Yes, respond and tell what it is.

Not sure

2. Have you ever taken a Spiritual gifts test?

No, unless this is one


3.If Yes, to question 2, did the test reveal your gift as stated above?

Non applicable .. see above

4.Are Spiritual gifts and the Gifts of the Spirit the same?

If the holy spirit was a spiritual gift then maybe gifts of the spirit come from growth of that spirit and our own personal journey. We are blessed with spiritual gifts through his spirit but in growth accept any advancement or special gift God bestows upon us according to his divine will and purpose for us as christians.

5.Are the fruits of the Spirit and the Spritual gifts the same?

If a spiritual gift is love, understanding etc, through the holy spirit... then fruits of the spirit could be the growth of such gifts nurtured. Therefore, outcomes from our exercise of the spiritual gifts given.

6.Do all the Spiritual gifts still operate today?

If they things like love, compassion etc.... then yes

7.Do some of the Spiritual gifts operate today?

getting confused now... but i think so


8.Is a Spiritual gift received at the moment of Salvation?

If holy spirit then yes

9.Do you or will you always have the same Spiritual gift?

I think so if it is the holy spirit but i believe we can fall from grace. If blessings like understanding, hope, love etc then I believe we always have it but can lose sight of it or dull it through our sinful living or clutches of the devil at times of temptation and trial.

10.Is there a difference between a Spiritual gift and a talent?

Hmmm Maybe Talents are blessings from human birth, i think spiritual gifts are blessings from spiritual birth but they may complement one another.

Jesus is Lord! - 06-04-05, 04:18 AM

Your Pastor T.:

I know that I have the "gift" of eternal life through Jesus Christ that is sealed by the Holy "Spirit."

I know that our Heavenly Father has called me into the ministry of Christian education.

I know that in the world I am considered to be a "gifted" person.

Please share with me what you have learned about the subject of spiritual gifts? (I am especially interested in how doctrines are established from the two family manuscripts.) Thank you for this courtesy.

i've just recently realized that i have what i can only explain as word of knowledge. never really thought about it but i was talkin to vagabond and sai dsomething about how i get these feelings and i know that something good or bad is about to happen before it does and sometimes to whom it will happen. kinda freak but true. feel wierd admitting it because im not sure and idk im just like that i dont really share that stuff but i read a scripture that says if you have been given one of the gifts of the spirit you are to confess it.So i guess that will develope as i seek god and pray but if not then okay. its for his use not mine.
the only question i think im knowledgable enough to answer is 6.Do all the Spiritual gifts still operate today? and have to say yes the holy spirit is the same as now as hes always been.

1. If by that, you are refering to the gifts of the Spirit in 1 Cor. 12 and 14 (revelation, power, and utterance gifts), then Yes. The Spirit does and has operated thru me in these gifts at different times during my Christain life, most often revelations gifts.

2. Yes just recently

3.Somewhat - After I took it I realized it was not exactly refering to these type of gifts above. It was more like what God has called us to do. our postion in the body of christ.

4.Not sure how to answer that. Salvation is a gift and of course spiritual. So is the gift of the Holy Ghost. Also He gave gifts to the Body of Christ as a whole ( 5 fold ministry). But I refer to Gifts of the Spirit as stated above in #1.

5.No. You can receive a gift but not necesarily have fruit. A new Spirit filled Christian can be used in the gifts but be very immature. Fruit is growing and developing your character in the ways of God. Gifts are doing - fruit is being.

6.Yes all gifts of the Spirit

7.All

8. No. Gifts of the Spirit are recieved when a BELIEVER (Christians) is baptized with the Holy Spirit as in Acts 2. Then the Spirit Himself gives us the gifts. ( Could be almost simulanteous tho)

9.He will use us in different gifts, the ones which are needed at the time, if we are willing and yielded to Him.

10. Yes. Spiritual Gifts are gifts from the Holy Spirit but talents are natural gifts we were born with and have developed,


Arise,shine;for your light is come,and the glory of the LORD is risen upon you
