Spiritual Gifts

Spirit-given enablements for the church. In Brazil specifically, ‘dons espirituais’ risks conflation with Kardecist mediunidade (mediumship, communicating with discarnate spirits) or Afro-Brazilian Candomblé/Umbanda ‘dons de incorporação’ (gifts of spirit possession/channeling orixás). Must be tied explicitly to the Holy Spirit equipping the church for ministry, not communication with the dead or spirit possession.
