INTRODUCTION

There are four gifts which we will call "sign gifts" because they are supernatural signs of God's
power working through believers to confirm His Word:

And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with

them, and confirming the word with signs following. (Mark 16:20)

The sign gifts minister to and through believers in healing, miracles, and special messages from
God through tongues and interpretation. These supernatural gifts are also a "sign" to unbelievers
that God exists.
