heart, because they had not believed those who saw him after he

had risen. 15 And he said to them, Go into all the world and

preach the gospel to the whole creation. 16 He who believes and

is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be

condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe:

in my name they will cast out demons;they will speak in new

tongues;18

they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadlything, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick,

and they will recover. (Mark 16:14-18) (RSV)

14 When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had

accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to

Samaria. 15 When they arrived, they prayed for the new believers

there that they might receive the Holy Spirit,16 because the Holy

Spirit had not yet come on any of them; they had simply been

baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 17 Then Peter and John

placed their hands on them,and they received the Holy Spirit.

(Acts 8:14-17) (NIV)

14 Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had

received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and

John, 15 who came down and prayed for them that they might

receive the Holy Spirit;16 for it had not yet fallen on any of them,

but they had only been baptized in the name of the LordJesus. 17 Then they laid their hands on them and they received

the Holy Spirit. (Acts 4:14-17) (RSV)

disciples 2 and asked them, Did you receive the Holy

Spirit when[a]you believed?

They answered, No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy

Spirit.3 So Paul asked, Then what baptism did you receive?

Johns baptism, they replied.4

Paul said, Johns baptism was a baptism of repentance. He toldthe people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in

Jesus. 5 On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the

Lord Jesus.6 When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit

came on them, and they spoke in tongues[b]and

prophesied.7 There were about twelve men in all. (Acts 19:1-7)

(NIV)

While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper

country and came to Ephesus. There he found some

disciples. 2 And he said to them, Did you receive the Holy Spirit

when you believed? And they said, No, we have never even

heard that there is a Holy Spirit. 3 And he said, Into what then

were you baptized? They said, Into Johns baptism. 4 And Paul

said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the

people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is,

Jesus. 5 On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the

Lord Jesus.6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, theHoly Spirit came on them; and they spoke with tongues and

prophesied.7 There were about twelve of them in all. (Acts 19:1-

Scripture, to preaching and to teaching. 14 Do not neglect your

Baker's Evangelical Dictionaryhttp://www.biblestudytools.com/dictionaries/bakers-evangelical-dictionary/holy-spirit-gifts-of.html

Holy Spirit, Gifts of

Four New Testament passages delineate specific gifts that God's Spirit gives to his people ( Rom

12:3-8; 1 Cor 12-14; Eph 4:7-13; 1 Peter 4:10-11). The terminology varies from ordinary words for

gift (dorea, doma Eph 4:7-8) to a cognate of grace (charisma Rom 12:6; 1 Corinthians 12:41

Corinthians 12:91 Corinthians 12:281 Corinthians 12:30-31; 1 Peter 4:10), to a substantive formed

from the adjective "spiritual" (pneumatika 1 Cor 12:1; 1 Corinthians 14:11 Corinthians 14:37). But

the concept remains the same: distinctive, divinely originated endowments to serve the Triune God

for the common benefit of his people, the church ( Rom 12:4-5; 1 Cor 12:7; Eph 4:12-13; 1 Peter4:10). No text enables us to determine the relation of spiritual gifts to "natural" talents or abilities;

scriptural examples suggest that some are given entirely de novo (e.g., the prophets and tongues-

speakers inActs 19:6), while others build on a lifetime of divinely superintended preparation (as with

Paul's apostleship, prepared for by his unique blend of Jewish, Greek, and Roman backgrounds).

The Spirit must be given freedom to give his gifts any way he desires.

think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think

with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith

which God has assigned him. 4 For as in one body we have many

members, and all the members do not have the same

function, 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and

individually members one of another. 6 Having gifts that differ

according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, inproportion to our faith;7if service, in our serving; he who

teaches, in his teaching;8 he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he

who contributes, in liberality; he who gives aid, with zeal; he who

does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.(Romans 12:3-8) (RSV)

We should make use of the spiritual gifts that Holy Spirit / God has given us. Employing the gifts in

order to edify the church, other people and ourselves.

3

For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do notthink of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of

yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God

has distributed to each of you. 4 For just as each of us has one

body with many members, and these members do not all have the

same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one

body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have

different gifts,according to the grace given to each of us. If your

gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with

your[a]faith;7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then

teach;8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is

giving, then give generously; if it is to lead,[b]do it diligently; if it is

to show mercy, do it cheerfully.(Romans 12:3-8) (NIV)

3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is

among you, not to think of himselfmore highly than he ought to

think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a

measure of faith. 4 For as we have many members in one body,

but all the members do not have the same function, 5 so

we, beingmany, are one body in Christ, and individually members

of one another. 6 Having then gifts differingaccording to the

grace that is given to us,let us use them:if prophecy, let us

or ministry, let us useitin ourministering; he who teaches, in teaching;8 he who

exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who

(Romans 12:3-8) (NKJV)

7 But grace was given to each of us according to the measure of

Christs gift.8 Therefore it is said,

9 (In saying, He ascended, what does it mean but that he had

also descended into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He who

descended is he who also ascended far above all the heavens,

that he might fill all things.) 11 And his gifts were that some should

be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and

teachers,12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for

building up the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to the unity ofthe faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature

manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of

Christ; 14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro

and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of

men, by their craftiness in deceitful wiles. (Ephesians 4:7-14)

Five main gifts or ministries in the book of Ephesians are:

1) apostle,

2) prophet,

3) evangelist,

4) pastor,

5) teacher.

7 But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ

apportioned it. 8 This is why it[a]says:

9 (What does he ascended mean except that he also descended

to the lower, earthly regions[c]? 10 He who descended is the very

one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the

whole universe.) 11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the

prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip

his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be

built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge

of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole

measure of the fullness of Christ. (Ephesians 4:7-13) (NIV)

7 The end of all things is at hand; therefore keep sane and sober

for your prayers.8 Above all hold unfailing your love for one

another, since love covers a multitude of sins. 9 Practice

hospitality ungrudgingly to one another. 10 As each has received a

gift, employ it for one another,as good stewards of Gods varied

grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who utters oracles of God;

When he ascended on high,

he took many captives

and gave gifts to his people.[b]

whoever renders service, as one who renders it by the strength

which God supplies;in order that in everything God may be

glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion

for ever and ever. Amen. (1 Peter 4:7-11) (RSV)

7 The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober

mind so that you may pray.8

Above all, love each otherdeeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9 Offer

hospitality to one anotherwithout grumbling. 10 Each of you

should use whatever gift you have received to serve others,as

faithful stewards of Gods grace in its various forms. 11 If anyone

speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of

God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God

provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus

Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever.

Amen. (1 Peter 4:7-11) (NIV)

7 But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and

watchful in your prayers. 8 And above all things have fervent love

for one another, for love will cover a multitude of

sins.[c]9 Behospitable to one another without grumbling.10 As

each one has received a gift, minister it to one another,as good

stewards of the manifold grace of God. 11 If anyone speaks, let

him speakas the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him doitas with the ability which God supplies,that in all things God may

be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and

the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (1 Peter 4:7-11) (NKJV)

The gifts mentioned in the book of First Peter are speaking

(preaching, teaching) and service/ministering.

4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit;5 and there

are varieties of service, but the same Lord; 6 and there are

varieties of working, but it is the same God who inspires them all

in every one. 7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for

the common good. 8 To one is given through the Spirit the

utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledgeaccording to the same Spirit, 9 to another faithby the same Spirit,

to another gifts of healingby the one Spirit, 10 to another the

working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to

distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues,

to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are inspired

by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one

individually as he wills. (1 Corinthians 12:4-11) (RSV)

4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes

them.5 There are different kinds of service, but the same

Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and

in everyone it is the same God at work.7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the

common good.8 To one there is given through the Spirit a

message of wisdom,to another a message of knowledgeby

means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faithby the same Spirit, to

another gifts of healingby that one Spirit,10

to anothermiraculous powers,to another prophecy,to another

distinguishing between spirits,to another speaking in different

kinds of tongues,[a]and to still another the interpretation of

tongues.[b]11 All these are the work of one and the same

Spirit,and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

(1 Corinthians 12:4-11) (NIV)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+12&version=NIV#fen-NIV-28645bhttp://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+12&version=NIV#fen-NIV-28645a


10/19

Spiritual gifts mentioned in 1 Corinthians chapter 4 are:

1) message/utterance of wisdom,

2) message/utterance of knowledge,

3) faith,

4) gifts of healing,

5) workings of miracles,

6) discernment between spirits (ability to distinguish between

spirits),

7) speaking in different kinds of tongues,

8) interpretation of tongues.

4 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.5 There are

differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are

diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in

all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for

the profit of all:8 for to one is given the word of wisdomthrough

the Spirit, to another the word of knowledgethrough the same

Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of

healingsby the same[b]Spirit, 10 to another the working of

miracles,to another prophecy,to another discerning of spirits,to

another differentkinds of tongues,to another the interpretation

of tongues.11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things,

distributing to each one individually as He wills. (1 Corinthians12:4-11) (NKJV)

Make love your aim, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts,

especially that you may prophesy.2 For one who speaks in a

tonguespeaks not to men but to God; for no one understands

him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit. 3 On the other hand, he

who prophesies speaks to men for their upbuilding and

encouragement and consolation. 4 He who speaks in a tongue

edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.5 Now I

want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. He

who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in tongues, unless

some one interprets, so that the church may be edified. (1

Corinthians 14:1-5) (RSV)

Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the

Spirit,especially prophecy (1 Corinthians 14:1)(NIV)

Pursue love, and desire spiritualgifts,but especially that you may

prophesy. (1 Corinthians 14:1) (NKJV)

We should earnest desire for the spiritual gifts. Between prophesying

and speaking in tongues, prophesying was deemed to be better forthe church because prophecy will edify the brethren in church.

Speaking in tongues is also good but it is edifying the speaker but

not the church, unless there is interpretation of tongues.

The four lists of spiritual giftsdemonstrate

significant overlap as well as important variations.

This suggests that none of the lists, taken eitherindividually or together, is intended to be

comprehensive. Rather each is suggestive of the

diversity of ways God endows Christians for spiritual

service. Broader classifications may therefore suggest


12/19

other gifts not specifically listed.

One may distinguish between gifts that require

miraculous intervention or divine revelation(e.g.,

prophecy, healings, miracles, tongues and theirinterpretation)from other less "supernatural" gifts,

although one suspects that first-century Christians

may have considered all of them supernatural to

some extent.

One may separate gifts of leadership(apostles,

administrators, teachers, pastors, and evangelists)

from the rest, although one must be careful not to

confuse gifts with offices (humanly appointed

positions of ecclesial authority).

One may identify a number of gifts that apparently

involve an extra measure of virtue or

responsibilitycommanded of all Christians (e.g.,

faith, service, giving, mercy, or evangelizing)as


13/19

over or against those for which some believers have

no ability or responsibility(e.g., miracles,

tongues, or administration).

First Peter 4:11 suggests perhaps the simplestdivision (gifts of speechand gifts of serving).

But a biblical theologian will wish to proceed

differently, considering each of the three major

Pauline passages in turn, interpreting each list in light

of the larger historical and literary contexts of each

epistle.

Theological Principles. In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul enumerates nine keyprinciples.

(1) A basic criterion for distinguishing Spirit-gifted people from impostors is whether they

confess Jesus as Lord(vv. 1-3). Now concerning spiritual gifts,[a]

brethren, Ido not want you to be uninformed. 2 You know that when you

were heathen, you were led astray to dumb idols, however you

may have been moved. 3 Therefore I want you to understand

that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says Jesus be

cursed!and no one can say Jesus is Lord except by the Holy

Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12:1-3) (NKJV)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+corinthians+12&version=RSV#fen-RSV-28613a


14/19

(2) All the gifts originate from the Triune God(vv. 4-6). 4 There are diversities of

gifts, but the same Spirit.5 There are differences of ministries,

but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is

the same God who works all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the

Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:8 for to one is given

the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of

knowledge through the same Spirit,(1 Corinthians 12:4-8)

(NKJV)

(3) All Christians have at least one gift (v. 7a). This implies that no one need wait for some post

conversion experience to be empowered for service, although it does not preclude God

bestowing additionalgifts on an individual subsequent to conversion. 7 To each is giventhe

manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. (1 Corinthians

12:7) (RSV)

(4) Gifts are for the common upbuilding of the church (v. 7b). 7 To each is given the

manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.(1 Corinthians

12:7) (RSV)

(5) There is diversity within unity(vv. 8-10). Christians ought not to expect others to have the

identical gifts they do. 8 for to one is given the word of wisdomthrough

the Spirit,to another the word of knowledgethrough the same

Spirit, 9to another faithby the same Spirit, to another gifts of

healingsby the same[b]Spirit, 10 to another the working of

miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, toanother differentkinds of tongues, to another the interpretation

of tongues.(1 Corinthians 12:8-10) (NKJV)

(6) The gifts are given as the Spirit determines(v. 11). One may seek and pray for certain

gifts(12:31a; 14:1, 12), but God makes no guarantees that he will give any one particular gift as

requested. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things,

distributing to each one individually as He wills.(1 Corinthians
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+corinthians+12&version=NKJV#fen-NKJV-28644b


15/19

12:11) (NKJV)31 Now eagerly desire the greater gifts.And yet I will show you the

most excellent way. (1 Corinthians 12:31) (NIV)31 But earnestly

desire the higher gifts.And I will show you a still more excellent

way. (1 Corinthians 12:31) (RSV)31 But earnestly desire the best

[d]gifts.And yet I show you a more

excellent way. (1 Corinthians 12:31) (NKJV)

Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the

Spirit, especially prophecy.(1 Corinthians 14:1) (NIV)12 So it is

with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in

those that build up the church.(1 Corinthians 4:12) (NIV)

(7) All the gifts are necessary for the maturity of the church; none may be jettisoned as

nonessential (vv. 14-26). Indeed, those God honors most may be the least visible (vv. 22-25).

14 For in fact the body is not one member but many.15 If the foot should say, Because I am not a hand, I am not of

the body, is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear should

say, Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body, is it

therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye,

where would bethe hearing? If the whole werehearing,

where would be the smelling? 18 But now God has set the

members, each one of them, in the body just as He

pleased. 19 And if they were all one member, where wouldthe

body be?

20 But now indeed there aremany members, yet one body. 21 Andthe eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you; nor

again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 No, much

rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are

necessary. 23 And those membersof the body which we think to

be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our

unpresentablepartshave greater modesty, 24 but our
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+corinthians+12&version=NKJV#fen-NKJV-28666d


16/19

presentablepartshave no need. But God composed the body,

having given greater honor to thatpartwhich lacks it,25 that

there should be no schism in the body, but thatthe members

should have the same care for one another.26 And if one member

suffers, all the members suffer with it;or if one member is

honored, all the members rejoice with it. (1 Corinthians 12:14-

26) (NKJV)

20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.21 The eye cannot say to the hand, I dont need you! And the

head cannot say to the feet, I dont need you! 22 On the

contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are

indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honorable

we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable

are treated with special modesty,24

while our presentable partsneed no special treatment. But God has put the body together,

giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it,25 so that there

should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have

equal concern for each other.26 If one part suffers, every part

suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

(1 Corinthians 12:20-26) (NIV)

(8) There is a ranking of gifts (vv. 27-28) but the sequence is more one of chronology than of priority.

Apostles and prophets are foundational in the life of any church (cf. Eph 2:20); teachers then nurtureyoung believers and newly planted congregations; finally, all of the rest of the gifts can come into

play. 27 Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of

it. 28 And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second

prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, then healers,

helpers, administrators, speakers in various kinds of tongues. (1

Corinthians 12:27-28) (RSV)
http://www.biblestudytools.com/kjv/ephesians/2-20.html


17/19

27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part

of it. 28 And God has placed in the church first of all

apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then

gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of

tongues.(1 Corinthians 12:27-28) (NIV)27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members

individually. 28 And God has appointed these in the church: first

apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles,

then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of

tongues. (1 Corinthians 12:27-28) (NLKV)19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but

fellow citizenswith Gods people and also members of his

household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and

prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.

(Ephesians 2:19-20) (NIV)

Ranking of ministries according to 1 Corinthians chapter 12 is :1) Apostles,

2) Prophets,

3) Teachers,

4) Workers of Miracles,

5) Healers, Helpers, Administrators, Speakers in various tongues.

Apostles, being church planters, and Prophets (nowadays, they are Pastors) are the foundation,

setting up the church. Teachers (which could be Pastors and Teachers) will educate the people in

the church. As per Jesus' mission to the Twelve Disciples, the Seventy, and also mission to the

apostles and believers after His resurrection, we should preach/proclaim the gospel and heal thesick (physically sick as well as spiritually sick). Miracles and Healing should accompany the

Preaching and Teaching. Helping/servicing/ministering and administration is needed for the operation

of the church.

This ranking may not be the ranking of importance, but more of the natural flow from setting up the

church to daily operation of the church.

(9) No one gift is available to all Christians (vv. 29-30; 14:31; is best taken as referring to "all

prophets" not "all believers" ); hence no specific gift may be made a criterion of salvation,


18/19

sanctification, or spiritual status.

29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work

miracles? 30 Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with

tongues? Do all interpret? (1 Corinthians 12:29-30) (RSV)29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work

miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in

tongues[d]? Do all interpret? (1 Corinthians 12:29-30) (NIV)

29Areall apostles?Areall prophets?Areall teachers?Areall

workers of miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak

with tongues? Do all interpret? (1 Corinthians 12:29-30) (NKJV)

As members of the body, as members of the church, we are given the differing gifts so that all of us

can work together for the edification of the church.
