Unless otherwise noted, all of the information concerning

Spiritual Gifts has been compiled by me, John Lounsberry. It is my desire that you will benefit from this information.

My first introduction to a Biblical teaching on Spiritual Gifts was in a leadership conference of Basic Youth Conflicts on the campus of UCLA in 1971. Since then, I have come across other Bible teachers who have added their insight to my understanding of the subject.

The material presented here is a compilation of over thirty years of study and personal experience. Any place where an author or teacher is quoted directly will be noted with quotation marks and an acknowledgement of their contribution.

I would like to especially thank Jackson Snyder, for allowing us to use his Spiritual Gifts Survey.

 

The Motivational Gifts Inventory
33 statements to evaluate
©2002 This survey was developed by Jackson Snyder and is in the public domain.

For more information about Motivational Gifts go to the link in the Index column on the left of the page.

Instructions:  Choose the most appropriate radiobutton for each statement.  Be completely honest and discriminating.  There are no right or wrong choices. It is very important that you not put an answer simply because you think that that is how a good Christian should think! You are going to discover why you have thought and acted the way that you have.  

This is not an automated survey -- you will be able to score your evaluation when you finish.
