I. Spiritual Gifts
Pauline epistles teaches of Gifts given by God:
1. Spiritual Gifts (1 Cor. 12:8-10) - wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy,
interpretation of tongues, discerning of spirits, speaking tongues (divers)
2. Ministry Gifts (Eph 4:11) - Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, Teacher
1.Perfecting of Saints
2.Work of Ministry
3.Edifying the Body of Christ
3. Fruit or Characteristic of the Holy Spirit - (Gal. 5:22,23) - 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance.
- Spiritual Gifts are given unto us when we accept Jesus as our savior
- Ministry Gifts are given to the church (called out believers or ekklesia)
- Fruit of the Holy Spirit are the characteristics you inherit when you accept Jesus Christ

2. God called us to the ministry of reconciling the unsaved to Himself
(2 Cor. 5:18 "...who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of
reconciliation.)
3. God has called us to ALL the nations (Matt. 28:19 “teach ALL nations baptizing in the name of the
Father, Son, Holy Ghost)
