Christians all have different gifts that God gave them but we all share a common spirit, the Holy Spirit. In the body of Christ we have a common goal that unites us, yet we are all different because we all attend to the same thing. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. Romans 12: 6 some gifts i can name are : prophesizing, healing, evagelism are ones i can list off the top of my head.
heres a perfect analogy from 1 corinthians 12: 14 - 27 its a bit longish : 14Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. 15If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 16And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 17If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" 22On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
27Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it (boom) it is long as i said.

i think all believers have different gifts of the Spirit so that we can all support each other in our weaknesses just like u said in 1 Corin. 12:14. thanks for the advice chris.
jones. "believers" many not always be christians. check this out. James 2:19 You believe there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that- and shudder. demons like Satan also know God is the one and only so next time be more specific and use 'christian' ;D
thx ill remember that next time :D
