This is something I usually avoid talking about, for many reasons. The biggest reason is that I prefer to use any gifts God gave me after I was saved instead of talking/thinking about them. I know for sure that after I was saved I was given gifts that I never had before, I just don't know the names of them or if I should know the names of them.
Also, I think I have at least 2 gifts, probably more which makes it more difficult to figure out exactly what they are.
I have tried taking spiritual gift tests, which have given me different results each time, and I really don't like them. It isn't enjoyable to take them either, because the whole time I think, "how do I know this is even correct?" "no, that's wrong, the Bible says [insert verse here]," "this is true, it lines up with the Bible," "yeah, but all Christians are supposed to be like that," etc, etc, etc.
Is there a way to figure out what my gifts are without taking a test? Or do I really need to know what they are? But then I don't know how I'd use them the right way if I don't even know what they are.
Also, PLEASE don't start any debates on this thread. And if you can, I'd appreciate it if anyone that answers uses Scripture in their answers.
