enough frivolities and back to the serious stuff, and if your wondering if this is gonna be another long one... well, i think it might be...haha
My OCF has been sending out a number of emails trying to get its members to fill up a spiritual gifts test and then submit their scores. Not quite sure what they plan to do with that data but I decided to finally give it a go when they gave the online link that allowed you to do the test online and have it analysed automatically instead of counting manually. If any of you are interested this - http://www.kodachrome.org/spiritgift/ (warning: it has a total of 140 questions so allow yourself sufficient time)
Im just gonna share my results with everyone so your can either or disagree with my self evaluation. I've grouped the gifts with the same score. There are a total of 28 different gifts according to them (in descending order):
1. Faith, Encouragement, Exhortation
2. Hospitality, Music, Mercy
3. Missionary, Giving
4. Leadership, Pastoring, Writing, Poverty, Helps
5. Administration
6. Wisdom, Knowledge
7. Teaching, Discernment
8. Apostle, Prophecy
9. Craftsmanship, Celibacy
10. Miracles, Evangelism, Healing
11. Intercession
12. Tongues speaking, interpreting (score of 0)
Im not gonna go in depth today as to what they actually are about. Will prob do another series where I copy and paste the definition given by the website and discuss their significance in my life. However, one thing I must mention about the last 2 gifts is that I believe they still exist (contrary to some belief) but I think 10 years in a BP church have quelled whatever latent gift I might have had for these 2. I remember my parents praying for me to receive the gift years ago, but like the talents that were buried, gifts that are not used eventually will be taken away...
Thanks to all the blogs i referred to (countless) for html code help :) (esp. cyn' and sixseven)
