Reply: 12:8 tells us "for to one is given "BY" the Spirit". It is made very clear for one to possess any of the gifts must have the inward dwelling of the Holy Spirit and it's enabling power. A person cannot possess any spiritual gifts without the Holy Spirit that only comes by repentance, faith in Jesus Christ, and baptism. The gift(s) are given only by God for mutual benefit of body of Christ.
