No, it's simply the wrong word. "Rights" in the sense of God-given inalienable authority-based privileges, are mentioned only once (that I'm aware offhand), in John 1:12...
Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God
Gifts of the Spirit are not "rights" in the same sense... at all. I don't have the "right" to prophesy; I may have the gift but I may not, as Paul makes clear in 1 Corinthians 12:29.
You really should read more carefully. They are called both gifts and manifestations, not one or the other.
1 Corinthians 12:4-7 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. 7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
It's rather arrogant for you to think that I didn't know that. To be blunt, you don't know jack about me. Don't pretend otherwise, and don't make unwarranted assumptions.
Um, no. See above.
No friends your doing what a lot of Christians do and associating the word Gift, to Prophecy, when it is not a gift, the word Gift has been added to the kjv, because translations saw. No difference between spiritual things.
The word Gift is not in the Greek text, when its linked with desire the gift of prophecy.
Plus it still points to desiring the gift that is already with in the born again Christian anyhow.
The spiritual things where given when manifestation of the spirit occurred.
Every single account of prophecy in the old testament is a direct result from manifestation of the holy spirit and not a gift as such, but you could see it as one.
As well as the 70 chosen people to carry the burdens for moses
This is another account
Luke 1:67
Then his father, Zechariah, was filled with the Holy Spirit and gave this prophecy:
if you do not choose to see prophecy is a result of manifestation of the holy spirit at this stage then there's point in continuing.
the reasons why a lot of people don't realise this, is because it's now permanent and the spirit speaks through them with out them realising it, because they don't notice the change like they did in the old t when manifestation of the spirit occurred.
Some if not many many Christians dont even desire the the spiritual things of prophecy so the won't realise it's a manifestation of the holy spirit.
