You are right, it does not say that. However my question earlier had to do with the word. Discernment...there appears a gift called "the discerning of spirits"...

I don't know of a gift of discerning of personal facts. I do know of a gift called "word of knowledge"...presumably that word has to come from somewhere.

I've seen some with the gift of suspicion. But here is what I have reference to.

1 Corin 12:7* But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8* For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9* To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10* 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:
11* But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

It seems that "discerning of spirits" is different or in addition to "word of knowledge!" How should the discerning of spirits work in the church and to what degree? Just wondering.

Oh, well, that's different. Here's how it works: there are spirits wandering around. Some are good, some are bad. It takes the gift of discernment of spirits to tell which is which.

Hope that helps! :D

I ought to do that. In this case though, all I did was to repeat something the preacher had said less than an hour or so earlier. "I'm on your side."

I do know what you've done too, Timmay.

... oop! Getting called away. Gotta go. I'll rat you out later.

That was supposed to be in "low tones". Like a smaller font, perhaps. Maybe a lighter color. But, anyway: :runhills
