“That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another†(1 Corinthians 12:25).
The word “schism†could be defined as division. The gifts of the Spirit are bestowed in a way that should not lead to division within the body of believers. No one should think of themselves better than another. God, through the Holy Spirit, knows what His people need and what is best for them. Failure to trust God will always cause problems whether it is in individuals or within His Church.
We should have mutual respect for one another no matter how many “gifts†they possess. God is using all gifts for His glory and for the edification of the church.
