Geoff Thomas: The Holy Spirit – Chapter 15 Cont.: “The Gifts of the Holy Spirit”Opening verses: 1 Corinthians 12:1-11SPIRITUAL GIFTS ARE DISTRIBUTED AS THE SPIRIT DETERMINESThe spiritual gifts are given for the common good of the congregationYou cannot name a spiritual gift and claim it for yourself.Not about our expectations or about granting our whimsTHE SPIRIT BAPTIZES EVERY CHRISTIAN INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST“They are all members of one body and have all been baptized by one Spirit into this body and been given one Spiritto drink. There are not two bodies, one for those who have made a profession of faith and another for those who havenot. And there is only one baptism, for baptism into the body of Christ is not a Spirit-less.” pg 170VARIETY AND HARMONY EXIST IN THE BODY OF CHRIST“God has designed and arranged every organ in the body (v. 18). Each part needs every other part. The parts do notcompete with each other; rather, they complement and supplement each other. If the body was all nose, what woulddigest its food and remove its waste products?” Pg. 174CLOSING APPLICATION (Pg. 171-175)Note the difference between the gifts of the Spirit and the fruits of the Spirit.The gifts of the Spirit are from Almighty God.Some of these gifts ceased before the end of the first century.We will continue thinking about the person and work of the Holy Spirit utilizing the book by Geoff Thomas simply entitled, The Holy Spirit.  Conference speaker and theme September 27-28 @ Living Hope Bible Church; register and information at reformationboise.comTwo talks:“The Holy Spirit: His Divinity and Personhood”“Asking for the Holy Spirit”Quote from Geoff Thomas’ book: “Many people today are ignorant about the person and work of the Holy Spirit,both theologically and experientially”++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.
