Description
Summary:Paul encourages every believer to experience a bestowal of the Spirit’s power that is theologically, and usually chronologically, distinct from the gift of the Spirit received at conversion. Paul typically describes this post-conversion infusion of spiritual power with the noun χάρισμα (“gift”). Paul speaks of this experience as “the gift of God” (2 Tim 1:6), “the gift in you” (1 Tim 4:14), and a “spiritual gift” (Rom 1:11), and the result of this empowering experience with simply the term gift (1 Cor 12). Thus Paul, like Luke, also highlights the need for each believer to experience a post-conversion infusion of spiritual power for ministry.
