[Detailed Word Approach] 
When accepted Christ as Savior, you received the Holy Spirit. [1Cor.3:16; 2Cor.6:16; 2Cor.13:5]; not since you believed but when [Acts 19:2.]
Spiritual Gifts are Mentioned: Rom.12:6-8; 1Cor.1:1-11; Eph.4:11-12; 1 Cor.12:1-12, other partial lists.
Seven basic gifts in Romans 12: Quotes from New King James [NKJ], Amplified Bible [AMBT], and Key Word Study Bible [KWSB].
1.)         Prophesy [NKJ] [AMBT] [KWSB]; Gr: propheteia, a prophetic work or rank, often associated with diakonia, ministry or serving.
A prophesy is something that any believer may exercise as telling forth God’s Word. [Key Word Study Bible, KWSB, p.1872].
2.)  Ministry [NKJ] Practical Service [AMBT] Service [KWSB] Gr: diakonia, serviceable labor, assistance. [KWSB].
A ministry/service involves compassionate love towards the needy within the Christian community. Every business, every calling so far as its labors benefit others is a diakonia. Paul and Luke use the word to designate the vocation of those who preach the Gospel. 2Tim.4:5, Acts 20:24 and 28. [KWSB, p.1821].
3.) Teaches [NKJ] Teaches [AMBT] Teaches [KWSB] Gr: didasko: Instruct by word of mouth.
Inherent in the word is the meaning to influence the one who is taught, shape the one taught by communication of knowledge. [KWSB, p.1823].
