Indeed Mom. Some do not move in the gifts, they are no less a part of the body and to be loved and cherished. That however doe not negate the Word of God or the gifts God has given the Church.

I hear you my Son and I am not putting any one down. You know where I'm coming from. We are all the Body of Christ .... His Church and each one functions differently but all in unison.

My apologies if I came on too strong.

I do not believe every one can tell the difference between true prophets of God and false prophets... Jesus himself said the elect would be decieved...
but Jesus does warn us bec they are there...
do you guys think that a prphet who foretells the future and gets it totally wrong, if they are hearing a voice, is it possible that maybe they think its a good voice but in actual fact its a voice from the dark side disguising itself as a good one?
Bec in just using common sense here but if a good voice tells a prophet that something is going to happen and a date is given(prophets do sometimes use dates) that the good voice is right... And the bad voice will make up a story?

My friend Oogii that is not quite what He said- these were His Words:

Mar 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

He never says His chosen will be deceived.

Dusty, and anyone who it may concern.

I am speaking of a topic I read about gifts of the holy spirit. This was not meant to be my point of view. If anyone was offended here is part of the topic if needed to know what I learned:

Spiritual gift

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



"Gifts of the Holy Spirit" redirects here. For the seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit in the Catholic tradition, see Seven gifts of the Holy Spirit.
According to some Christians (i.e.Pentecostals) the spiritual gifts (or charismata) are gifts that are bestowed on Christians, each having his or her own proper gift (or gifts) to strengthen the church. They are described in the New Testament, primarily in First Corinthians 12, Romans 12, and Ephesians 4.
Some believe their operation was limited to early Christianity. According to some Protestant denominations, certain of the spiritual gifts, for example speaking in tongues and interpretation of tongues, were enjoyed only for a short time and were suited to the Church's infancy, not to later times. This view is known as cessationism. This opinion is held by John F. MacArthur, Jr., Robert L. Thomas and many other conservative main line Christian denominations. In contrast, some Christian scholars such as Zola Levitt maintain that the number of gifts cannot be determined, because, as Levitt puts it, "A spiritual gift is anything that a person can do supernaturally well."
Other groups, including Pentecostal, Apostolic, and other Holiness denominations of Christianity, take an opposing view, believing that the spiritual gifts are still given by the Holy Spirit today, and Pentecostal meetings often involve ordinary parishioners displaying the use of these gifts (1 Cor 14). In addition, sections of Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and many other Protestant denominations also continue to believe in and make use of spiritual gifts.
Emphasis on teaching about the nine gifts of the Spirit originated from Howard Carter, an early Pentecostal evangelist. This is based on the text from 1 Corinthians 12:27-30 giving the gifts and listing them as the "gifts of the Spirit". They were later taught and popularized by Lester Sumrall, who accompanied Carter on many missionary journeys in his youth. Modern Bible teachers and scholars have come to the conclusion that there are other gifts of the Spirit listed in Scripture, as seen in the chart below.

Actually the emphasis on the gifts started in the Book of Acts- we need the nine Gifts of the Spirit and the nine fruits of the Spirit today more than ever.
