Is the “gift of the Holy Ghost” the same as the nine spiritual “gifts” that are talked about in I Cor. 12, 13, 14?
The word “gift” is expressed with a different Greek word when referring to the initial baptism of the Holy Ghost – “Dorea.” When the “gift” denotes any of the nine spiritual gifts including the Gift of tongues, the word “charisma” is used. The Bible purposely makes a distinction between these words.
