They are the gifts listed in Romans 7 and they are granted to believers by the indwelling Holy Spirit. Each believer has one gift given to him to use for the glory of God.

First Corinthians 12 is a list of gifts that are manifestations of the Holy Spirit and a believer may receive the work of the Spirit in any one of those areas at different times but they are not "possessed" by the believer like the gifts in Romans 12. Then you have the office gifts of the Holy Spirit given to the church in Ephesians 4.

No. You can have the Holy Spirit even before you are baptised, and The Bible has examples of people who were blessed with these gifts prior to their baptism. Cornelius and his kinsmen are examples.

I'm not sure about there being '7 gifts'.

The Bible mentions the 'fruitage' (not 7 'gifts') of the holy spirit. There are 9 aspects to it.

This is found in Galatians 5:22, 23.

Of interest is that these are not called 'fruits' plural, even though 9 are mentioned. Even in the original Greek, it is NOT in the plural form, but in the singular. (You can check any Bible translation.)

Contrasted with verse 19 are the 'works' (plural) of the flesh.

Therefore the fruit (singular) of the holy spirit is not to be 'divided up'; as if you can have one, but not the others and still be said that you have obtained the holy spirit. Either we have the whole fruitage of the holy spirit, or we don't have it yet. If we miss one aspect, then we don't have the effect of holy spirit within us yet. This may give some people cause for 'sobering reflection'.

Example: When we speak of a 'fruit salad'; it contains different things (grapes, Pears, apples, pineapple, etc); yet it is still called: 'a'(singular) 'fruit'(singular) salad.

As sinners, we do not deserve the gift that Jesus Christ bestowed upon us, but that is the Grace of God, He gave us something we do not deserve.
