Our references to Gifts is different to those usually referred to
in many Christian churches. Our reference is to the broad spectrum
of character traits such as those listed above, which are developed
and spread by effect of the Holy Spirit in all Christians. Our
references to Gifts should NOT be understood to refer only to
the more famous, more spectacular, miraculous Gifts (Healing,
Prophecy, etc.) In general, we recognize that rare individuals
possess such miraculous Gifts, but our focus is on those characteristics
and Gifts available to ALL Christians. After all, I Cor. 14
includes reference that the miraculous gifts are less valuable than
these other gifts.
