4-19-2017 – A Word to the Wise: So where is this framework discussed in scripture? Romans 12: 4-7 sets the stage for the Biblical understanding of the gifts which it specifies as seven; (Prophet, Teacher, Administrator, Encourager, and Server. Giver, Mercy). Interpretation of this passage varies with scholars. My conclusion about this passage is that the Lord has given to every person one of these gifts. Some suggest it happens at conversion. This I outright reject because the traits of each are clearly seen prior to conversion.
