In other words every believer will receive the same manifestation of the spirit. He then goes on to describe that after one has received the spirit (with the same manifestation as everyone else) that there are diverse giftings that are the result of one receiving the spirit. Many different gifts and different administration of those gifts.....one spirit and one common manifestation of that one spirit....with diverse gifts and operations as a result of having the one spirit.

Bishoph, where did it say in this discourse that everyone received the same manifestation of the spirit?

“7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

To one....
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom;

To another....
to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

To another....
9 To another faith by the same Spirit;

To another....
to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

To another....
10 To another the working of miracles;

To another....
to another prophecy;

To another....
to another discerning of spirits;

To another....
to another divers kinds of tongues;

To another....
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.” 1 Corinthians 12:7-11, KJV.

I didn't see the wording "the gifting." It seems that all of the nine statements are statements of a manifestation of that self same spirit, that were divided to every man severally as he will.

I am sorry that you disagree with me but I'm not mad about it...not even offended.

Have you ever considered that every person that posts on AFF thinks he or she is right?
