Great research once again. It is interesting that no one who hangs on the words of these NAR types ever seems to ask why it is that the Apostles Paul, Peter, John, etc. never taught the early church that they needed to "activate" their spiritual gifts. Nor did they teach them how to do so. Spiritual giftings had been in operation since the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, and so we never see the apostles encouraging believers to be focused on chasing after spiritual gifts. Not only that, but the Apostle Paul is clear that the gifts are freely dispensed by the Holy Spirit AS HE WILLS for the edification of the church, and that believers do not all receive the same gift. Furthermore, the Bible never mentions activations, legal rights, or seeing in the spirit (which is actually the Occult practice of Scrying, a form of divination which is condemned in Scripture). Finally, as to Hamon's out of context reference to Ephesians 4:12, he needs to read verses 11-15, then he would see that the perfecting of the saints has nothing whatsoever to do with activating spiritual gifts but has everything to do with being unified in Christ Jesus, through the knowledge of correct Biblical doctrine which produces Christian maturity and keeps believers from falling pray to deceivers like Bill Hamon and the rest in the NAR.
