What kind of church would embrace even the confusing controversial gifts of the Holy Spirit? A church that believes God works through those gifts today!
25 Gifts of the Holy Spirit by Ron Philips  5/1/2013 Charisma Magazine online
" Most Christians are familiar with the nine gifts of the Spirit that Paul describes in 1 Corinthians 12:4-10. But did you know there are many more? Though the exact number is debatable, here are at least 25 spiritual gifts the Holy Spirit gave to the early church—and continues to give today."
1.  Word of wisdom (1 Cor. 12:8; Luke 6:9)
2.  Word of knowledge (1 Cor. 12:8; Luke 18:22)
3.  Faith (1 Cor. 12:9; Acts 3:6)
4.  Gifts of healing (1 Cor. 12:9, 28; Acts 28:1-10)
5.  Working of miracles (1 Cor. 12:10; Acts 6:8)
6.  Prophecy (1 Cor. 12:10; 1 Thess. 5:20-21; Eph. 4:11)
7.  Discerning of spirits (1 Cor. 12:10; Luke 8:29)
8.  Tongues (1 Cor. 12:10; Acts 19:6)
9.  Interpretation of tongues (1 Cor. 12:10; 14:13-33)
10.  Helping (1 Cor. 12:28)
11.  Administration (1 Cor. 12:28; Acts 6:2-3)
12.  Ministry/service (Rom. 12:7; 2 Tim. 1:16-18)
13.  Teaching (Rom. 12:7; Eph. 4:11-14)
14.  Encouragement (Rom. 12:8; Heb. 10:24-25)
15.  Giving (Rom. 12:8; 1 Cor. 13:3; Acts 4:32-35)

16.  Leadership (Rom. 12:8; Acts 13:12)
17.  Mercy (Rom. 12:8; Luke 5:12-13)
18.  Apostleship (Eph. 4:11)
19.  Evangelism (Eph. 4:11; 2 Tim. 4:5)
20.  Pastoral guidance (Eph. 4:11)
21.  Grace (Rom. 12:6; Eph. 3:7; 4:7; 1 Pet. 4:10-11)
22.  Willingness to face martyrdom (1 Cor. 13:3)
23.  Intercession (Rom. 8:26-27)
24.  Hospitality (1 Pet. 4:9)
25.  Celibacy (1 Cor. 7:8)

Confusion and controversy began when Holy Spirit came upon Christians after Jesus left earth.
Acts 2:12-13 (NIV)
12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
13 Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.”


So, now what?
> Ask and seek spiritual gifts according to 1 Corinthians 14:1.
> Take a spiritual gift assessment. There is a good inventory at buildingchurch.net.
> Use your gifts for the Lord’s purposes.
