A Pentecost Sunday (May 31) question: are the Gifts of the Holy Spirit still available for the Christian?

And this is abiding in Christ. The Holy Spirit seals our heart. In the OT the New Covenant is God writing His Love laws on our hearts. That the old hard heart is changed to a new soft pliable heart. This is being circumcized of our hearts. Where we becomes Jews (Jews f
