何謂屬靈恩賜？(10) What Are Spiritual Gifts?

神賜予人屬靈恩賜，為要使他們有能力在教會、在世界服事別人， 因此，所有關於恩賜的主張都必須經過聖經的檢驗與篩選；唯有與聖經的教導一致的，才值得重視。

那麼，你該怎麼做呢？在這本小冊中，溥偉恩用很簡單卻很精緻的框架，來展現各種不同的屬靈恩賜和教會中聖靈工作的廣度。這個主題雖然很棘手，但作者處理得相當精湛！

問題討論：

讀完這本小冊，您可以思想以下幾個問題 ：

1. 三位一體的神如何參與信徒屬靈恩賜的運作？根據哥林多前書十二章，誰擁有屬靈恩賜？現今的教會對於屬靈恩賜有什麼錯誤的認知？
2. 耶穌同時是先知、君王、祭司，我們如何在這三種恩賜和職分上效法耶穌？
3. 作者將屬靈的恩賜分成幾個層次？權柄、性質有何不同？每個層次對應哪些人物與角色？
4. 我們如何從使徒恩賜的性質中得知，神的啟示（聖經正典）已經完成，不可增添與刪減？
5. 從說話和行動的根據，我們可將屬靈恩賜分成哪兩類？請舉例簡單說明其差異。如何分辨、驗證其真偽？
6. 我們如何從屬靈恩賜的角度來看待「說方言」？二十世紀對「說方言」有什麼錯誤的認知？

God gives people spiritual gifts to enable them to serve others in the church and in the world. Therefore, all claims about gifts must be tested and screened by the Bible; only those that are consistent with the teachings of the Bible are worthy of attention. .

So, what should you do? In this booklet, Poythress uses a very simple but delicate framework to show the various spiritual gifts and the breadth of the Holy Spirit's work in the church. Although this topic is very tricky, the author handles it quite superbly!

Discussion Questions:
After reading this booklet, you can think about the following questions:
- How does the triune God participate in the operation of believers' spiritual gifts? According to the twelfth chapter of 1 Corinthians, who has the spiritual gifts? What is the wrong perception of spiritual gifts in the church today?
- Jesus is a prophet, king, and priest at the same time. How can we imitate Jesus in these three gifts and offices?
- How many levels does the author divide spiritual gifts into? What is the difference in authority and nature? Which characters and roles correspond to each level?
- How do we know from the nature of the gift of apostles that God's revelation (the canon of the Bible) has been completed and cannot be added or deleted?
- From the basis of speech and action, what two types of spiritual gifts can we divide? Please give an example to briefly explain the difference. How to distinguish and verify its authenticity?
- How do we view "speaking in tongues" from the perspective of spiritual gifts? What is the wrong perception of "speaking in dialects" in the 20th century?
