Spiritual Gifts
1Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant. 2You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. 3Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.
4There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.
7Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[1] and to still another the interpretation of tongues. |

A friend of mine went on a blind date with a girl that believed in fairies. On their way home: "I think I just saw a fairy!" "Um, what?" "A fairy! With wings!" "You believe in fairies?" "Oh yes!"
When he asked his friends that set them up if that was just her trying to get rid of him, they assured him no, she really does believe in fairies. That information would have been helpful BEFORE he agreed to a blind date, no?

She actually SAW them? What kind of acid was she dropping?

I have seen and been a part of too many unusual situations to just discount things out of hand.
There are forces beyond us at work in the world, and as mere humans, we are not necessarily privy to their methods.

Bull Durham
With further irony in that Costner later played Jim Garrison in JFK who believed that Oswald did not act alone.

.
well we have to disagree then. In the Biblical context in my opinion, prophecy is the future not ESP.
no sense arguing over semantics.

Oh Yeah! Crash Davis! I can hear the honey dripping as Annie Savoy said, "I believe in the Church of Baseball. ..."
