The message of the cross has to be central in ministry. That is what we need and what we should be hearing about and it’s that message that the miraculous gifts in the Bible were meant to showcase.

–Adriel Sanchez

Are the Spiritual Gifts in 1 Corinthians 14 for the Church Today?

Questions in this Episode

  1. I think that God and Jesus aren’t the same entity, but I also have heard that Jesus was also God, even as he came down as man. I hope that is right. Can you explain this?
  2. My youth group leader was talking about speaking in tongues and how these gifts are given to us. I saw that she was using the Passion Translation and referring to 1 Corinthians 14. Who were the Corinthians and how do I explain their context to my youth leader? My understanding is that the apostles were the only ones with these spiritual gifts.
  3. Should Christians try to convince non-Christians to convert? Why should someone become a Christian?
  4. What are the differences between the Epistles and the Gospels in the Bible?
  5. How do I love my friend without condoning and affirming her in her sin?
