Clothing (clothed with the power of the HS) Dove (at the baptism of Christ) Pledge (first installment) Fire (pentecost) Oil (OT - practice of anointing priests and kings) Seal (seal of the believer) Water Wind
Apostle
walked with Jesus from His baptism to ascension…messenger…no need for this gift anymore
Prophet
proclaim a divine revelation, prophetically reveal what is hidden, foretell the future…because the canon is complete there is no need for this gift
Miracles
Miracles were given to authenticate a message. Miracles mean power or work of power. God may still perform miracles, but a person’s gift of miracles because that gift ceased with the apostolic age.
Healing
This gift involved the ability of a person to cure other persons of all forms of sickness. This is also a sign gift, so the gift of healing stopped with the completion of the canon of Scripture.
Tongues
The book of Acts establishes that tongues were languages (people heard the apostles proclaim the gospel in their native language). This is a lesser gift (not primary or foundational). This gift was also temporary. This (sign) gift also ended with the completion of the Scriptures.
Interpretation of Tongues
The supernatural ability of someone in the assembly to interpret the foreign language spoken by the one who had the gift of tongues. The language would be translated into the vernacular for the people who were present.
Evangelism
The gift of proclaiming the Good News of salvation effectively so that people respond to the claims of Christ in conversion and in discipleship. (All believers are to do the work of evangelism)
Pastor-teacher
Shepherd and teacher
Teacher
Take profound biblical and theological truths and communicate them in a lucid way so ordinary people can readily grasp them. This gift requires development.
Service
Ministering or serving others. Helping other believers who are in physical need. This gift is less conspicuous (privacy or one-on-one).
Helps
Helpful deeds or assistance. Undertaking on behalf of another.
Faith
Faith which manifests itself in unusual deeds of trust (George Mueller)
Exhortation
Called alongside to help, (often coupled with teaching), urging someone to pursue a particular course of conduct, or may be consolation or comfort in view of someone’s trial or tragedy.
Discerning Spirits
(given before canon of Scripture was complete) … God gave direct revelation to individuals who would communicate that revelation to the church.
Showing Mercy
feel compassion, show mercy or pity. The one possessing this gift should perform acts of mercy with gladness , not out of drudgery.
Giving
to share with someone, the unusual ability and willingness to share one’s material goods with others.
