EVERYONE RECEIVES THEM AND IS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEM
The Holy Spirit is the one who our gifts come from. He can give you whatever gift He wants in any given situation, or instance.
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms. (1 Peter 4:10-11)
