How do we know the doctrine of spiritual gifts is true?

Answered in 2 sources

The doctrine of spiritual gifts is grounded in Scripture, particularly in Romans and 1 Corinthians, affirming that gifts are given by the Holy Spirit for the edification of the church.

The doctrine of spiritual gifts is firmly established throughout the New Testament, particularly in passages like Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12. These texts articulate that spiritual gifts are bestowed by the Holy Spirit according to His sovereign will and purpose. Paul consistently emphasizes that these gifts are not self-originating but are given for the common good of the body of Christ. The consistent teaching of using gifts for edification and God's glory supports their biblical foundation. Additionally, the supernatural nature of these gifts functions in contrast to natural talents, establishing a clear distinction that the church must uphold.
