QUESTION: If the gifts have passed away, what about I Corinthians 12, 13, & 14?
ANSWER: I Corinthians 12, 13, & 14 were written to the church at Corinth to help them overcome problems of division and disorderliness in worship services that the misuse of spiritual gifts had caused. Because the apostle dealt with these problems at that time, it in no way suggests that spiritual gifts continue today. To infer so, is to ignore the clear teaching of I Corinthians 13:8-13 and Ephesians 4:8-14, as discussed above.
The so-called “gifts” of today cannot begin to compare with those found in the Bible. Those of today are most often nothing more than pretentious attempts to prove one’s self-righteousness before men. Neither they nor their “gifts” are of God!
