- Spiritual gifts come from the Spirit and are tied to relationship with God, not personality tests.
- Natural gift inventories can help, but they don't reliably reveal supernatural Spirit-given gifts.

- Ask others how your presence builds the church to identify your spiritual gifts.

- These views are called cessationism and continuationism and include nuanced positions within each camp.
