Where does the bible say you have to test what you have? I believe if you have a spiritual gift it will work through you to minister to someone's need. The gift isn't about you.

  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

What gift? Like I said it sounds like a psychic reading to me. Being thrown out of church is not evidence that what is going on is genuine

No, no, no. Not thrown out over some alleged psychic reading. Thrown out over the ability to preach, hear from God, receive visions, and discern spirits.
