Gifts of the Holy Spirit The talents that Christ entrusts to His church represent especially the gifts and blessings imparted by the Holy Spirit. "To one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: but all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as He will." 1 Cor. 12:8-11. All men do not receive the same gifts, but to every servant of the Master some gift of the Spirit is promised.

De talenter som Kristus betror sin menighed, er især de gaver og velsignelser der tildeles af Helligånden. "En gives der nemlig ved Ånden at tale med visdom; en anden at tale med kundskab ifølge den samme Ånd, en gives der tro ved den samme Ånd, en anden nådegaver til at helbrede ved den ene Ånd; en at udføre undergerninger; en anden at profetere; en at bedømme ånder; en anden forskellige slags tungetale; og atter en anden at udlægge tungetale. Men alt dette virker den ene og samme Ånd, som efter sin vilje tildeler enhver sin særlige gave." Alle modtager ikke de samme gaver men enhver Herrens tjener har løfte om en eller anden af Helligåndens gaver
