Episode notes
Gifts Are Supernatural And Diverse
- The gifts in 1 Corinthians 12 are supernatural impartations from God, not natural abilities.
- Dr. David K. Bernard warns against rigid categories and emphasizes diversity in God's workings.
Avoid Rigid Gift Labels
- Don't try to box spiritual gifts into rigid categories or demand a single fixed gift identity.
- Use the gifts for the benefit of the body rather than personal status.
Three "Mind Of Christ" Gifts
- The word of knowledge, word of wisdom, and discerning of spirits function as the "mind of Christ" gifts, influencing the human mind by God's mind.
- Bernard distinguishes knowledge as facts from wisdom as divine guidance in practical situations.
