Hi Earthless,
Seen your reply to Lufia.
So it is OK to be a Christian and not have ANY gifts of the Holy Spirit at all?

Every true born-again believer has a (or more) gifts of the Spirit. Many just do not know what it is (what they are), etc.. and perhaps they are not known when someone is immature in their walk/faith.
This site HERE has a pretty decent page on your question. I am not overly familiar with that website, so I cannot vouch or do I stand with what is said in other areas of that website.

There are more places that indicate every believer has one or more gifts of the Holy Spirit, but here is one:
As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
-1 Peter 4:10
Another:
So we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith; if service, in his serving; or he who )teaches, in his teaching...
-Romans 12:5-7

Thanx Earthless.
I have checked the web link. Looking at the list of gifts it seems I have a few of those gifts mentioned there. I never knew about them as gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Thanx JimboFletch for your Bible references.
God bless.

Awesome - I was about to bring that point up.. what you were actually thinking were gifts of the Holy Spirit.
God bless you.

Stronger2Day,
I guess you're right. Some might even call me being a pest for Jesus' sake!

Every one has a special gifts and talents from God. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you in discerning them.
Write down an inventory of what you're good at and ask friends and folks you trust about your qualities. You will get lots of good feedback from them. Pray upon this list and in due time God would put you in situations where He would start using you for His glory.
Blessings!

Chuck Swindol said the easy way to remember where the gifts of the Spirit are located is this: 12,12,4,4
Rom 12, 1 Cor 12, Eph 4, 1 Pet 4.
Earthless listed most of these but I will reiterate:
Romans 12:6-8
prophecy
servce
teaching
exhorting
generosity
leadership
acts of mercy
1 Corinthians 12:8-10
word of wisdom
word of knowledge
faith
miracles
prophecy
discerning of spirits
tongues
interpretation of tongues.
1 Corinthians 12:28
apostles
prophets
teachers
miracles
healing
helping
administrating
tongues
Ephesians 4:11
apostles
prophets
evangelists
pastors
teachers
1 Pet 4:9,11
hospitality
