The gifts are just that a gift that God gives - many people do false things because God didn't tell them anything
Why doesn't God just heal someone of cancer? Why does He work His 'gifts' through us ?
How can either cessatioinist or a continuationist EVER hope to prove that spiritual gifts are one way or another to each other when God speaks to someone He is to do work through, let's call that person, 'workmanship.'
Are we all His 'workmanship" is a question to you.
What does that mean, for us to be His workmanship . Did He just make us and we are supposed to read our bible and just follow it's rules, or, is it ALL of that and MORE, like, 'we are created to do good works.' Of course, to do good works when one is in a sinful fleshy body requires what ? FAITH
We have to have faith in Him , in His leading us through the work that we are to do and are doing as His Spirit leads in us, does this make sense?
Hopefully no one thinks I AM setting a standard for what MUST be done in our Christian lives. No !
We are supposed to, as creationteacher tells us, to just continue to read The Word and to appreciate it's work and to live our lives in a mode of understanding that God CAN and WILL use us when He needs something done that requires work, that requires....
....faith in Him. We all can work for Him in our life, and, should, the spiritual gifts are given us in this kind of scenario 'who knew.' You, certainly, don't, except, maybe, I don't know, I guess, God can tell you, but, He says Himself that we are to believe without having needed a SIGN
