Spiritual Gifts Reference

Your friend (or family member) has asked you to provide feedback about their spiritual gifts. Once you submit your answers, the results will be emailed to the address given below (it can be yours or you can have it sent directly to your friend).

Below is a brief description of each gift. More importantly, while distinguishing between skills and spiritual gifts, it is important to keep three things in mind:

1. Every Christian has a spiritual gift (1 Peter 4:10).
2. Spiritual gifts build up the church (1 Corinthians 14:12).
3. Spiritual gifts should be accompanied with humility (1 Corinthians 14:30).
