The Apostle Paul discusses the topic of spiritual gifts in 1 Corinthians, chapter 12.  He says in verse 7, ". . . the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal."  He goes on to say in verse 12, "For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ."
