The history of Christian spiritual gifts can be traced back to the early Church as described in the New Testament, particularly in 1 Corinthians 12 and Romans 12. Paul explains that spiritual gifts are given by the Holy Spirit for the common good of the body of Christ. The early Christians exercised various spiritual gifts such as prophecy, healing, speaking in tongues, and teaching to build up the church and spread the Gospel message. This tradition of spiritual gifts has continued throughout Christian history, with different denominations emphasizing different gifts and interpretations.
