The Cessationists have made an amputee of the body of Christ. Hacking off limbs and discarding them as rubbish. With the "closed canon" comes a closed mind. They have gagged the mouth of the Spirit so as not to hear any new revelation.I firm believe that having the Holy Spirit means having everything that He has for us in the way of gifts to be used to build up the body of Christ. Our particular role in the body of Christ is just one factor and our faith is another. Romans 12:6 says let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith that we have. If it applies to prophecy then it would apply to the other gifts as well.
So, in a sense we have all the gifts of the Spirit that we need to perform any function in the body of Christ that is needed. So I guess that it is a combination of the particular role and the level faith to use them.
