The truth about the Roman church is there were not then and not now any gifts given to those people by God's spirit. For doesn't Paul say "that I may impart some spiritual gift"? It takes some reading between the lines of Paul's statements using the spiritual gift of discernment to understand him or any other parts of the Bible for that matter. Even though Paul wrote a lot, what he was writing about and why is not a the clearly stated item. Even with the many translations of the Bible we have today; isn't it still fully true that only a very few ever find the small narrow gate which must be used to receive any of those gifts that signify what you have heard, believed and obeyed is true? For didn't Jesus fully describe the way things really are. There is the good seed. Meaning the only correct message that explains his crucifixion truthfully. Then there is the bad seed. Meaning the corrupted message that explains his crucifixion falsely. Which is which? Is the good seed what the majority preaches ? Jesus further qualified the way things really are by describing the two trees. The good tree comes from the good seed and cannot and I emphasize CANNOT produce even one bad piece of fruit. So then from your tree there is Ted Haggard, James Robinson, Jim Bbaker, Joel Olsteen, Rick Warren, John McArthur, R. C. Sproul, and a homosexual on one side of every confessional along with women that have authority over men. Great progress, aye? But it looks to me that your churches are like the list Paul made in Romans about people who have exchanged the truth of God about Jesus' crucifixion for a lie. I really don't think you'd want any person around any of your churches that has a spiritual gift from God. For they know that God's word is the sword of his spirit and they know how to use it for its intended purpose. Reproof, correction of your thinking and instructing you about what's right.
