It is only God’s Spirit who enables people to say that Jesus is Lord.
1 Now, my fellow believers, I will answer your questions about the things God’s Spirit enables believers to do. I want you to know clearly [LIT] about these things. 2 You know that before you became Christians, various things led you to worship idols, which are unable to tell you any of God’s message. 3 So the first thing that I will tell you now is that it is not the Spirit of God who would cause anyone to say, "Jesus deserved to die," and that the Holy Spirit is the only one who can enable anyone to say, "Jesus is truly the Lord."
God’s Spirit gives believers special abilities as he desires.
1 Corinthians 12:4-11
4 There are various things that God’s Spirit enables various believers to do, but it is that same Spirit who enables us to do them. 5 There are many different ways to serve the Lord, but it is the same Lord whom we all are serving. 6 We believers have the power to do various tasks, but it is the same God who gives all of us the power to do these things.
7 God’s Spirit gives his power to each believer in order to benefit all the other believers.
