Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. (4) There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. (5) There are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. (7) But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all…….(12) For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. (13) For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body – whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free – and have all been made to drink into one Spirit..

Paul the apostle wrote the first letter to the Corinthians and our verses today deal with a controversial subject of spiritual gifts. Corinth was a morally bankrupt city in the ancient world. It was a highly urban area known for it’s pagan culture and the pleasures/indulgences of the flesh – There was an ingrown false religion center which resulted in many embracing “Christianity” that was not the truth of the gospel resulting in counterfeit spiritual manifestations that Paul needed to address.
True gifts of the Spirit are always under some form of control by the Spirit. and are given under some measure to all believers. But In Corinth there were acts based on experiences and not content which actually blasphemed the name of the Lord. The gifts of the Spirit are sovereignly and supernaturally bestowed into all believers – at the moment of faith. Each grace gift of the Spirit is personally unique. We are Christian snowflakes.
There are differences of ministries and diversities of activities which are from the Spirit and profit all the faithful. The general doctrine in our verses today is that we wander in error but are given direction, in faith, by the Spirit or we would wander forever. There is great diversity of gifts of the Spirit but there is also unity in that all gifts Of the Spirit are directed to the same object; the glory of God.
For many “converts” In Corinth were still not free from pagan attitudes and the culture of that day. No one can say Jesus is Lord except by the Spirit. Paul uses the analogy of the many members of the body to show us that every organic whole supposes diversity and unity. -just like the church. Those in whom the Spirit does not dwell are not in Christ. There is a disconnect between baptism of the Spirit and the baptism of water and the one may be made without the other.
