Charisma and CharacterSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg focuses on the availability of the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the present day.

However, he acknowledges that discernment is necessary when it comes to the manifestation of these gifts and advises careful testing to ensure they align with biblical teachings. Gregg also touches on the importance of wise counsel, prophetic utterances, and the different categories of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, emphasizing their role in building up the church.
