Who chooses a believer's spiritual gift?

Answered by Gene Cunningham, Basic Training Bible Ministries · from The Basics

The Holy Spirit does, sovereignly, as He wills. The gift is bestowed at salvation according to His choice, not ours — which is how His ministry to each believer is personalized. And once given, the believer can never lose his gift or have it taken away.
