Gifts of the Holy Spirit
As a Church we believe in the “Gifts of the Holy Spirit” as seen in the New testament book of 1 Corinthians, chapters 12 to 14. The gifts you are most likely to be aware of in public meeting are: Speaking in Tongues - an utterance in a language that the speaker has never learned. This may be a known language or even a “heavenly language”. In public meetings this is usually accompanied by …..
Interpretation of Tongues - giving the meaning of what has been said for the up building of the church. Prophecy - This gift is speaking a word from God in a specific situation to the congregation or sometimes to an individual and is usually given in language that those present all understand. (In Britain, usually English).
Word of Knowledge - In this gift specific information is given to an individual that they could not have known by natural means. There are five other gifts used in the life of the church - often used outside of the services.
NB - It must be stressed that people using these gifts are:
1. Not super spiritual 2. Not infallible 3. Not in a trance 4. Not, in any sense “Clairvoyant” 5. Folk using spiritual gifts do not know everything about anyone. They are specific utterances for specific situations and are gifts from God. |
