1Co 12:4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit;

Of course I ignored the scriptures you posted, it was an immediate attempt to take the focus from the passage I posted. You erroneously suggested that the passage was speaking solely about the gifts of the Spirit.....it isn't.
The 1Cor 12 passage is speaking of the working of the Spirit within, and on behalf of, individuals. One very clear working of the Spirit is to dwell within an individual allowing that individual to confess Jesus is Lord. Without Him, there will be no confession....per scripture
