...i think i wanna try this out... i'm still in the process of self-discovery.. whether the bible speaks truth or not, i want to see and feel for myself instead of what others criticize or speak so highly of... you know what they say, "talk is cheap".... since i've wasted so much of my life getting drunk and stoned, i think i have room to make another mistake... thanks a bunch, luv ya!

I was waiting for other, but no one did, they gifts in the bible, are only offered to those who whole heartedly follow God, but here are some verses
Romans 12 6We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his[b]faith. 7If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 8if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
1 Corinthians 12 28And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of administration, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues.
Hope this helps

Once you become saved (born again) the Holy Spirit decides what gift or gifts you are to receive.
