Gifts of the Holy Spirit
10. Can a believer receive more than one gift of the Holy Spirit? |
Yes, he can. For Paul says to the Corinthians: “Follow after charity,
and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy” (1 Corinthians 14:1)
and also: “Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek
that ye may excel to the edifying of the church” (1 Corinthians |
Paul says also: “Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue
pray that he may interpret” (1 Corinthians |
Furthermore, it must be said that a believer can receive more than one
spiritual gift because the Scripture teaches that a believer, in order to be
recognized as a prophet, must have the gift of prophecy and gifts of
revelations (the gifts of revelation are these, the word of wisdom, the word
of knowledge and the discerning of spirits. |
