1 Tim. 4:14
14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by
prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
D&C 46:7-29
7 But ye are commanded in all things to ask of God, who giveth
liberally; and that which the Spirit testifies unto you even so I would that ye should do
in all holiness of heart, walking uprightly before me, considering the end of your
salvation, doing all things with prayer and thanksgiving, that ye may not be seduced by
evil spirits, or doctrines of devils, or the commandments of men; for some are of men, and
others of devils.
8 Wherefore, beware lest ye are deceived; and that ye may not be
deceived seek ye earnestly the best gifts, always remembering for what they are given;
9 For verily I say unto you, they are given for the benefit of
those who love me and keep all my commandments, and him that seeketh so to do; that all
may be benefited that seek or that ask of me, that ask and not for a sign that they may
consume it upon their lusts.
10 And again, verily I say unto you, I would that ye should
always remember, and always retain in your minds what those gifts are, that are given unto
the church.
11 For all have not every gift given unto them; for there are
many gifts, and to every man is given a gift by the Spirit of God.
12 To some is given one, and to some is given another, that all
may be profited thereby.
13 To some it is given by the Holy Ghost to know that Jesus
Christ is the Son of God, and that he was crucified for the sins of the world.
14 To others it is given to believe on their words, that they
also might have eternal life if they continue faithful.
15 And again, to some it is given by the Holy Ghost to know the
differences of administration, as it will be pleasing unto the same Lord, according as the
Lord will, suiting his mercies according to the conditions of the children of men.
16 And again, it is given by the Holy Ghost to some to know the
diversities of operations, whether they be of God, that the manifestations of the Spirit
may be given to every man to profit withal.
17 And again, verily I say unto you, to some is given, by the
Spirit of God, the word of wisdom.
18 To another is given the word of knowledge, that all may be
taught to be wise and to have knowledge.
19 And again, to some it is given to have faith to be healed;
20 And to others it is given to have faith to heal.
21 And again, to some is given the working of miracles;
22 And to others it is given to prophesy;
23 And to others the discerning of spirits.
24 And again, it is given to some to speak with tongues;
25 And to another is given the interpretation of tongues.
26 And all these gifts come from God, for the benefit of the
children of God.
27 And unto the bishop of the church, and unto such as God shall
appoint and ordain to watch over the church and to be elders unto the church, are to have
it given unto them to discern all those gifts lest there shall be any among you professing
and yet be not of God.
28 And it shall come to pass that he that asketh in Spirit shall
receive in Spirit;
29 That unto some it may be given to have all those gifts, that
there may be a head, in order that every member may be profited thereby.
Alma 17:2-3
2 Now these sons of Mosiah were with Alma at the time the angel
first appeared unto him; therefore Alma did rejoice exceedingly to see his brethren; and
what added more to his joy, they were still his brethren in the Lord; yea, and they had
waxed strong in the knowledge of the truth; for they were men of a sound understanding and
they had searched the scriptures diligently, that they might know the word of God.
3 But this is not all; they had given themselves to much prayer,
and fasting; therefore they had the spirit of prophecy, and the spirit of revelation, and
when they taught, they taught with power and authority of God.
D&C 84:73
73 But a commandment I give unto them, that they shall not boast
themselves of these things, neither speak them before the world; for these things are
given unto you for your profit and for salvation.
