Spiritual Gifts 1
Why another seminar on Spiritual gifts?

The Evangelical Church for years has recognized the priesthood of all believers. We have seen the necessity for each member of the Body to be equipped and to function in his area of talent and gifting. So why address the issue again?

First, because I have developed a fresh theological approach to the gifts and their function in the body. I believe and teach that the believer can move in all Spiritual gifts in accordance with God's timing and purpose. Previously we have limited ourselves to one or more of the gifts and have shied away from the rest.

Second, to date, the materials written on Spiritual gifts fall generally into one of two categories. Some, who don't embrace the gifts or their practice, have written books to prove that the gifts are not for the Church today. At the other end of the spectrum are those who fully embrace the gifts but have little or no theological bases for their beliefs and practice. They have primarily written narratives about their own experience the group they have been a part of. I desire to express both a theological and a theological and an experiential basis for the gifts and their practice.

Third, I feel that the bottom line of Jesus' teaching is not only to learn about what Jesus did, But to learn to do the works of Jesus.To this date there is very little written to "how" to minister in the Spiritual gifts as Jesus did. My Desire is to be pragmatic and to train you to function effectively in the gifts. My prayer is that you will find this theological teaching fresh and enlightening. I desire to encourage my Evangelical brethren to find a place of balance between solid theology and Spirit-led experience. I hope to give you the keys that will open the functioning of the gifts in your life.

Spiritual Gifts 2
There are two separate listings of gracelets in 1st Corinthians 12 (12:8-10; 28). It is to the first that I draw your attention in this section. These nine may be divided into three sets of three; although this was probably not Paul's intention, it is useful as a teaching tool.

- The Gracelets of Discernment: The Eyes of God
- The Gracelets of Power: The Hand of God
- The Gracelets of Speech: The Mouth of God

The precise nature and function of some of these gifts listed are not clear from this text alone. Experience is crucial for understanding Biblical truth, whether it be conversion, discipleship, prayer or spiritual gifts. Experience opens windows into passages grounded overlooked or misunderstood. While the interpretation must ultimately be grounded in the text, practice of Biblical truths will illumine their meaning. Current manifestations of spiritual gifts, including their use and misuse, can aid our understanding of Paul's teaching. (Hummel, Fire in the Fireplace, P. 131). Remember, the experience of theology came before the writing of theology. I will follow an easy outline in discussing each of these sets.

The new age of the Spirit which is unveiled in the New Testament assures the availability of the gracelets to all. In the Old Testament the same gracelets were limited and in that part of His economy were apparently not available to all. However, the quality of the gracelets as demonstrated in certain Old Testament characters is not different in essence to the quality of the gracelets as seen in the New Testament. The quantity. however, is limited because the "fullness of time" had not arrived.
