I listened to the video earlier today. Even before getting to the personality types, that is what I was thinking. Certain ones have the gift of gab while others are gifted listeners. Trying to make everyone the same puts undue pressure on a person. Extroverts who like to speak go stircrazy having to sitdown and listen while expecting an introvert to speak, what kind of stress is being inflicted on them? I don't think neither is intended.
Rather to make everyone one talent members so that everyone is the same. This is due to thought of turmoils. If everyone is the same there is not going to be some 5 talented member who has the gift of ministry. Yet that is exactly how it is.
There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.
Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.
