This week's study is on the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Here is the direct link for this study:

The Sabbath Afternoon section of this week's study says, "No one individual in the church should expect to receive all the gifts of the Spirit. Neither should all the members expect to receive the same and identical gift or gifts."

One specific gift came to mind when I read this part, which is presented in Thursday's study quoted below:

Quote:

"The gift of tongues, as prophecy and miracles, has a counterfeit. The original gift on the day of Pentecost consisted of perfectly spoken human languages. Uttering sounds that cannot be identified with any human language is not a perversion of but a counterfeit of the genuine."—Handbook of SDA Theology, vol. 12, p. 619.

This counterfeit use is sadly the case in some denominations of the Christian church.
