Upon completion of this chapter you will be able to:
Name four divisions of spiritual gifts used in this study.

And He gave some apostles; and some prophets; and some, evangelists, and
some pastors and teachers. (Ephesians 4:11)INTRODUCTION
Before studying this chapter read the Bible passages below. These references list the gifts of the
Holy Spirit:
- Romans 12:1- 8
- I Corinthians 12:1- 31
- Ephesians 4:1- 16
- I Peter 4:7- 11
Turn to the Appendix of this manual. Read these same passages as they are translated in the
Amplified version of the Bible. For study purposes we have divided the gifts into four major
categories:
- Special Gifts
- Speaking Gifts
- Serving Gifts
- Sign Gifts
The Bible does not make such a division of the gifts. We have made it to help you remember the
various gifts more easily. This chapter discusses the special gifts. Following chapters explain
speaking, serving, and sign gifts.
