Most churches have far more in agreement than people ever realize.
However, the matter of spiritual gifts is one of those particular issues that remains controversial and divisive to some, with varying degrees of opinions. These are found in Eph. On the farthest extreme, some churches do not believe in any modern day operation of such gifts. But there is much history to substantiate that the supernatural gifts were never absent from the church. Near the close of the second century, Tertullian cited similar incidents, describing the operation of prophecies, healings and tongues, and in 210, Origen reported many healings and other Charismatic gifts, as did later writers such as Eusebius, Firmilian, Chrysostom and others through many centuries.
