Its not really a question of when the gifts are for, but if they are posessed by those that profess them.
Everybody wants to be Henry Gruber, but the HS is pickey.

Who’s Henry Gruber?
As metmom described earlier in this thread, the issue might be that some lord their gifts over others, as if having these Gifts makes you closer to God.
Having the manifest gifts of the Holy Spirit does NOT make one closer to God or superior to others, in any way.
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’
Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
