Can you have more than 5?
Can we pick and choose just the ones we want?

Some people are given many talents, others only a few. You can choose which pf your talents you want to use and develop them as you go on in life. Nobody has every gift, and nobody has none. Also it's not about which gifts you have but how you use them.

You can have as many as God wants you to have. you could have more than 5 if God wanted you to You don't get to pick and choose otherwise it wouldn't be a spiritual gift. it is a gift given by the Spirit. He picks it out.

Paul said that every believer gets some gifts, some get more, but we're not supposed to ask for them, just learn to use what we are given to work with to build up the body (the church family).
The reason there are many gifts is that there are many different jobs that need to get done in the church community. Nobody's good at everything, but everybody's good at something.

Yes, you could have more than five, but it's not likely. No, you can't pick them, God gives them to you.

If your patient,have faith, you can receive them all:)
That's up to God, he may not want you to have them all, usually he gives us certain gifts for certain things, it don't hurt to try.
