Is It the Case That Each of Us Has an Immutable Gift?

Paul was writing in 1 Corinthians specifically to deny that. People often will take these lists or maybe a composite of them and look down through the 31 or 32 assembled gifts, he says. They'll say which one most clearly comes to identify me kind of like you're doing a Myers-Briggs test. Right. So it seems that there was a particular problem where people were trying to gain a certain gift but God who is the one who gives life to the church would supply for us any ability that we need he will provide.
