1 Corinthians 12:4

This teaching opens Paul's discussion of spiritual gifts in 1 Corinthians 12 by warning against using emotional experience as the measure of the Spirit's work, then answers four foundational questions: who gives the gifts, who receives them, why they are given, and when they are received. Pastor Miles argues from Scripture that all believers are baptized by Jesus with the Holy Spirit at conversion and are thereby gifted for service, rejecting "second blessing" doctrine as unbiblical and divisive.
