The problem with the New Testament gifts is that they only seem to come to people in certain denominations. This is most evident in the "gift of tongues" in that just about an entire congregation can be endowed with this gift in one church, and in the church across the street, amazingly no one has it. It's also a strange coincidence that these gifts have only began to reappear when the Pentecostal movement began in the early 1900s. In fact, between about 100 AD and 1900 AD, almost no one spoke in tongues. Now all of a sudden all you need to do is pull up to your nearest AoG church to find flocks of people with the gift.
If anyone did an in-depth historical study of Christianity and the charismatic movement, specifically involving the "gifts of the spirit" referred to in this topic, you would see the strong correlations that would hint to these gifts being man-made and not Spirit driven.
