Henry D. Moyle"Paul enumerates many gifts of the Spirit. The greatest gift, however, is not the performing of miracles or talking in tongues, or prophesying, etc.; but the inception of an individual testimony is the greatest of all gifts of the Spirit.
And that is a gift which comes from God through the Holy Ghost and can be received by any man, woman, or child in the world who desires to know the truth." (Conference Report, April 1957, Afternoon Meeting 32.)Slide10
