Further, there is no other way or means to meet God and receive his grace except through his audible and visible words. The devil, on the other hand, always works against this permanent truth through his false teachings that human beings would seek and use other alternate means and standards respectively to approach God and examine faith and practice.\r\nAs the teaching and practices of the Prosperity Gospel that undermines the primacy of the Word of God and the importance of the Holy Sacraments are spreading in the working areas of the EECMY-IBS, the researcher conducted this study to give awareness about the danger coming into our congregations with this false teaching.\r\nTo conduct the study, the researcher used questionnaires, which were completed by thirty-nine participants that were recruited from six congregations of the synod to gather viable data. Further, he involved three notetakers who assisted him in taking notes during and after the presentations offered to the participants and the sermons delivered in two congregations. The participants and the notetakers have also participated in analyzing and interpreting data.\r\nThe believers of the area theoretically believe in the authority and primacy of the Word of God and the importance of the Sacraments. However, the study indicated that: (1) for some participants, the term  ‘Word of God’ is interchangeable with the Scripture and the words of the   ‘Charismatic Preachers’ (2) some prioritized ‘blessed objects,’ and the words of Charismatic Preachers over the audible and visible Word to receive God’s blessing, (3) some prioritized miraculous gifts over gifts like the ministry of the Word and the Sacraments, forgiveness of sin, eternal salvation, and other non-miraculous gifts, (4) some attempted to use spiritual gifts for personal edification rather than collective purpose.\r\nOn the other hand, the result of the post-intervention responses has shown improvements in all the mentioned areas.\r\nEvaluating the findings in the light of the theological discussion presented in chapter two of this paper, the researcher recommended that teachings that could respond to these shortcomings should be given to all members of the synod."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["f49f809a-65b5-4566-bfbb-5756e01b6bc7"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["roger.peters@ctsfw.edu","ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791135205387403264,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T08:47:22.589Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T07:27:26Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T08:48:37Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"66f0ef0c-3764-4313-8b80-2bf178620acf","accessControl_ssim":["acff933f-e2a9-4c4a-8986-36c8b91fc1a7"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Spiritual gifts their theological and practical implications for the local congregation"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T07:27:25Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T01:08:18Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["5f16093c-505c-4c4e-b858-6228a3027ff9"],"hasLease_ssim":["8f94b206-4b49-49f1-8fb6-f6736008e66a"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["William G Houser"],"year_tesim":["1987"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Robert A Strawn"],"publisher_tesim":["Concordia Theological Seminary (IN)"],"subject_tesim":["Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod","Gifts, Spiritual"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["Many congregations of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod are presently experiencing the influences of discussions and renewed interest in 'spiritual gifts' as they relate to the spiritual life of their congregations.  From the broad spectrum of spiritual gifts in general to the 'charismatic gifts', there is renewed interest in the use of 'spiritual gifts' which the Lord has given to His Church.  As a result, many questions are being raised about 'spiritual gifts' as they relate to the life of the congregation and the individual Christian that must be addressed in a sound theological manner.  This study will endeavor to define theological parameters and considerations to measure the impact of the study on the life of a Lutheran congregation, and to offer some suggestions and approaches for promoting a proper understanding of 'spiritual gifts' in the local congregation."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["f49f809a-65b5-4566-bfbb-5756e01b6bc7"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["public","work_editor"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791135286484271104,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T08:48:39.929Z","score":1.0}],"facets":[{"name":"resource_type_sim","items":[{"value":"D.Min.
