First of all, it is important to acknowledge the constant, persistent, universal, and totally affirmative presence of all spiritual gifts throughout the New Testament (NT. ) Furthermore, starting from Pentecost and continuing throughout the book of Acts, every time the Spirit is poured out on new believers, they experience the manifestation of the Spirit\u2019s gifts. There is no biblical evidence to indicate that these phenomena were restricted to them alone or to that particular time. On the contrary, this is recorded continuously and commonly in the Church. Christians in Rome (Rom. 12), Corinth (1 Cor. 12-14), Samaria (Acts 8), Caesarea (Acts 10), Antioch (Acts 13), Ephesus (Acts 19), Thessalonica (1 Thess. 5 ) and Galatia (Galatians 3) experienced the gifts of the Spirit. Storms (2014) states that it is hard to think that there was any clearer way in which the New Testament authors could have said that this is how the New Testament Christianity is supposed to be. Also, the extensive evidence in the New Testament of the work of miraculous gifts among Christians who are not apostles should be noted. Numerous men and women (not in the apostolic ministry), young and old, throughout the Roman Empire consistently exercised these gifts of the Spirit. Some biblical examples of people (without the apostolic ministry) who exercised gifts are: The 70 who were commissioned in Luke 10: 9,19-20; At least 108 people among the 120 who gathered in the upper chamber on the day of Pentecost; Stephen (Acts 6-7); Philip (Acts 8); Ananias (Acts 9); Members...
