Gifts

"There is abundant evidence for this widespread distribution of gifts. Prophecy, for example, is found in the church at Thessalonica ( 1 Thess. 5:20), in Rome (Rom. 12:6), In Ephesus (Eph. 4:11), and in other locations throughout the book of Acts (11:27; 13:1; 15:32; 19:6; 21:9). Likewise, the gift of tougues is found in Jerusalem (Acts 2), Samaria (Acts 8:5ff.), Caearea (Acts 10:46), Ephesus (Acts 19:6), as well as Corinth. Miracles were being done in the churches of Galatia (Gal. 3:5)."
