So why are you so focused on the gifts of the Spirit and not the FRUIT of the Spirit?
You don’t even mention that.
Because you have no spiritual fruit without spiritual gifts. Let's say you give $100,000 to charity unsaved. It counts for NOTHING in heaven. But if you give $100 to charity saved, that's treasure in heaven. If you pray for someone and they get healed, that is fruit accounted to you. A nonspiritual person gets nothing and the patient gets no healing. The apostles could have gone out to start the church without Acts 2, but how far would they get on their own power? It's all about power. Christians scurry about doing things with no results because they lack the power of the Holy Spirit.
The reason I spoke about the gifts was because the cartoon was about making fun of the Spiritual gifts. There is much more in Scripture than tongues, but the subject was tongues.
The problem with Christianity today is they haven't figured out that knowing ABOUT Jesus isn't the same as KNOWING Jesus. If He doesn't speak to you, He doesn't know you. I have told people I heard Him speak and some look as if I missed my meds. If you don't hear God speak, do you even know Him and He you? You have the Kingdom of God and Babylon. That's it, nothing else, no grey areas. Saying you are in the Kingdom doesn't make you in the kingdom. Satan will give strong delusion that even will fool the elect, if they are weak. When you pray for someone to get a job and they get a job the NEXT DAY, I feel like God listened. I have watched others pray literally for years and get nothing.
Let me give you some homework. Go to Google and search "Todd White". Watch at least an hour and make up your own mind.
