Chris.
The Gift of Faith from the Holy Spirit is much needed in the Body of Christ today so that the other Gifts of the Holy Spirit can be received by, and manifested in, the Church today. Many Churches are understandably wary of Spiritual Gifts because of experiencing the abuse of “spiritual gifts” by certain individuals and hyper-spiritual ministries. The Truth is that Gifts of the Holy Spirit are practical and useful. If they are properly served they will bring Glory to the Lord, not fear to people.
