In Mormonism, gifts of the Spirit are spiritual endowments that provide benefits to the recipient and to those he or she serves.[1] The seventh Article of Faith states: "We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth."[2][3] Both males and females can receive spiritual gifts.[4] They are an important component in both the basic beliefs and daily living of Mormons.
