All these are the work of one and the same spirit, and he distributes them to each one just as he determines First Corinthians 1211. These gifts given by the Holy Spirit appear in Romans 12, six to eight and First Corinthians 12, eight to 10. Some of these gifts are prophecy, teaching, encouragement, meshes or wisdom.

The visible church is used as a nominal of name term. It is the church that can be seen and is active or passive in the congregation, flock where it belongs. The visible church is the one Jesus comes to live born again with that stain or wrinkle during the rapture, john three, three to five efficient 527.

The other interpretation Rice's about comparing a glass Estes 12, seven, and First Corinthians five five, which says, hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.
