We can group most of the gifts into one of three groups, based on how they operate and how they function.
Spiritual Gifts / Manifestation Gifts:
These are found in 1 Corinthians 12:7-11. There are nine of them, and they are available to all believers. You can think about them as temporary bursts of divine power to help you meet a need or overcome an obstacle.

Motivational Gifts:
These are mainly found in Romans 12:3-8. These can be thought of as personality traits or temperaments. They are different ways of looking at the world that will influence or “motivate” they way you behave and the way you react to things.

Ministry Gifts/ Five Fold Gifts:
These are people that are scattered throughout the body of Christ that have a calling to equip and build up the believers so that they can all be strengthened to walk in their own individual callings.
