Acts 8:7

For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed.

1. Here Luke lists some of the types of miracles which Philip was doing - casting out unclean spirits, healing the paralyzed and lame.

2. It would seem that the gift of healing was dominant in the work of Philip.

3. The Apostles could work all types of miracles - heal, raise the dead, speak in tongues, interpret tongues, etc. See the list of nine spiritual gifts in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10.

4. Those on whom an Apostle laid hands and distributed a spiritual gift were able to work one type of miracle. The gift given to each Christian was according to their situation, ability to use it and make it an effective tool for the church. 1 Corinthians 12:11 says that the Spirit distributes the gift as He wills.
