Deep Dive into Cornerstone by Jeremy Prayer - Biblical Principles of Stewardship

Based on the sources and our conversation, speaking gifts are a category of spiritual gifts that are considered to be actively used today within the church body. These gifts are described as directly benefiting the church itself.

Unlike revelatory and confirmatory gifts, which are believed to have ceased with the completion of scripture, speaking gifts, along with auxiliary gifts, are viewed as essential for the ongoing functioning and building up of believers.

The specific gifts categorized as speaking gifts include:

• Evangelism: The ability to win souls for Christ. It's noted that having this gift is distinct from the general call for all believers to proclaim the gospel.
• Teaching: The ability to make truth applicable and understandable to others.
• Pastor teaching: Sometimes considered a single gift, also listed within this category.
• Exhortation: This gift is also identified as a speaking gift.

These gifts are the kinds of spiritual abilities you would expect to see being used around the church today as believers minister to one another and the world.
