I am not sure what you mean with that makes me holiness, amm but in fact the gifts of the spirit are meant to build up the body of Christ, the fruits of the spirit such as peace, mercy, self control ,those are living proves of our constant journey to holiness. God bless you.
Yes, the gifts imparted by the Holy Spirit are for the purpose of edifying the Church. For doing the work of the Kingdom. And, yes, there is a difference between the "gifts" and the "fruits" of the Holy Spirit.
