Linda Lou

I would be curious to know what Ralph and other participants of this study think about the issue of faith being a "spiritual gift". Years ago when I took a spiritual gifts inventory, Faith was about middle of the road for me, with other giftings being much higher. Then in 1994 I had a remarkable spiritual experience which brought me "face to face" with Jesus and changed my life. When I have (twice) re-taken the spiritual gifts inventory over the last 10 years, I have found Faith to be at the top and pretty much tied with Administration. In this way, like JohnK responded, it appears that my faith is definitely tied to a "life experience. I am grateful to have had the experience, but also saddened to have friends and husband who say they "lack faith" and don't know how to increase it without a similar radical experience.

Greetings! Linda here from Washington State... on the edge of the salt water and close to the border of Canada. This is my first time doing an internet study, first time doing a forum of any kind. I'm really a newbie!
