Observations
a. This is not meant to be a complete list
b. We cannot assume every local church will have all the gifts on the list.
c. We have to be cautious about saying what these gifts will look like in practice.
d. There is no guarantee someone who's given a gift once will always have the gift.
Therefore True Spirituality:
a. Does not look down on any of the gifts God gives.
b. Does not focus on the gifts but on the God who gives them.
