"Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I unto you a more excellent way." I Cor 12:29-31

No, not in themselves. But like you said they are gifts, and they benefit us both now, and in the future. Not every Christian has the same gifts, but usually you will excel in at least some avenue of your relationship with God.

So then did my post #2, composed only of scripture, answer the question you expressed in post #1?

not really all are not apostles etc but all Christians need God’s helps for salvation
Divine revelation
Virtues
Gifts
