All Spiritual Gifts Needed for the Body to Properly Function<\/h2>\n

Even those gifts that have more in common than others, still have distinctions. Use the speaking types of gifts as an example. Those with the gift of teaching will tend to be more systematic in their approach. People with the gift of prophecy will tend to be more assertive in proclaiming “Thus saith the Lord”. Those with the gift of exhortation will tend to be more practical and application oriented. The Body therefore needs all these gifts to function in a balanced and healthy way.<\/p>\n
