Seriously. What do you all make of the "Diversities of gifts" passage. From here it LOOKS like each of you claims all the important, high ranking, gifts for himself, the headline getting, order-giving gifts. The behind the scenes order obeying gifts receive little publicity. While, as far as I know, every EO or RC in this conversation, none being clerics, is asserting that others have nobler gifts than we and that we are sometimes called to obey people we don't necessarily like or agree with.
YOU all appear to be arguing for the right to do as you please. It's a position I'd be uncomfortable to occupy.

I don't think that's true, Mad Dawg. God has given every believer spiritual gifts which He expects us to use for the Kingdom of God and the Body of Christ. I haven't seen anyone here bragging about their gifts, really, just pointing out that there are certain ones they have and can use from time to time. Love, Mxxx
