Forty-nine charismatic virtues
From Freepedia
In Christian theology, Bill Gothard has informally specified a set of forty-nine character qualities, organized around the gifts of the Holy Spirit listed in Romans 12:6-8. Others propose different sets of virtues, organised by Stages of Life, by Leadership Perspectives, and so forth.
The 49 character qualities are:
