1 Cor. 12:3 - "but by the Holy Ghost..."

3 Wherefore I give unto you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

Testimony and knowledge comes from the Spirit. By no other means can anyone know that Christ is the Savior of all mankind.

11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

Why are we all given different gifts and talents and abilities? Why not just provide everyone the same gift? We must rely on one another. Through reliance comes empathy, love, and understanding; when we need each other in order to understand the Lord's will or whatever situation we may be in, we gain a greater ability to learn Christ-like love.

Furthermore, when we are baptized, we join Christ's church. We become a member of His organization; what better way to understand that this is His work than by forcing all members to work together to love and lift and save?
