I Corinthians chapter 12 through 14 talks about the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
There are nine gifts of the Holy Spirit, those who received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, will receive at least one or more gifts.

So then the foundation for use of Charisma is that we need to remember discernment and use it under the authority of the church.

If we correctly use the gifts of the Spirit, we will see the work of the wonderful glory of God and the Lord’s glory will be revealed.
