Are the spiritual gifts listed in 1 Corinthians 12
all there are? If we believed some spiritual gift tests in the Christian market place we might be led to believe that the Holy Spirit has no more gifts for us. If you can’t manipulate your way into one of those, is that just too bad for you? Are you of no further use to God? But, think about it. Are feet, hands, ears and eyes the only parts of a body? Of course not. There are also lungs, elbows, knees, a nose and innumerable other parts large and small. So, to limit the gifts that the Holy Spirit gives to Paul’s list here is illogical. When we compare we miss the point of the examples given, not to divide over these or any of the Holy Spirit’s unlimited spiritual gifts.
