Only BELIEVERS  have spiritual gifts. 1 Car, 2:14 2. Every Christian has at least one (1) SPIRITUAL gift. 1 Cor, 7:7 3,No one receives ALL OF the gifts. 1 Cor 12:27-30 4. No single gift is given to EVERYONE. 1 Cor, 12:29-30 5. You can't EARN OR WORK FOR a spiritual gift. Eph. 4:7 5. The HOLY SPIRIT decides what gifts I get, 1 Cor. 12:11 7.
