Spiritual Gifts
Always use the compound 属灵恩赐, never 恩赐 alone. NEVER use 神通 (shéntōng) — supernatural powers attained through Buddhist/Daoist spiritual cultivation (e.g. clairvoyance, levitation) — or 法力 (fǎlì, a Daoist/folk-religion practitioner’s ritual power). Spirit-given enablements for building up the church, not merit-earned supernatural abilities.
