| Publisher Description: "Gifts for Today" is an inductive Bible study of the gifts of the Spirit, with a special emphasis on the controversial or special gifts that God has given to the church. Of the 19 gifts mentioned in the NT, five or six had special functions during the foundation of the church, while the remaining gifts enable the practice of all God has revealed to His church to accomplish. This book attempts to explain the biblical reasons for the church to focus on the permanent gifts, which result in edification for all the church and the evangelism of the world. The sensational gifts were signs of authentication and confirmation of God's new revelations in the New Testament and give us confidence that we are handling the literal Word of God. Topics discussed in this book include: Historical development of the sign gifts The Baptism of the Spirit How we know we have received the Baptism of the Spirit Transition work of the Spirit The gift of tongues Miracles Ten principles of the gifts from 1 Cor 12-13 Ten arguments for the inferiority of tongues in 1 Cor 14 Ten rules for the practice of tongues in 1 Cor 14 Fourteen areas of evidence for the ceasing of tongues Tongues and their relation to the canon Tongues and their relation with Christ and the Apostles Devotional tongues A possible explanation for the phenomena of tongues The spiritual gifts |
