Show me where in this chapter that God requires you to pay for any of the gifts. 1 Corinthians 12 Spiritual Gifts: Unity in Diversity Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant: You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led. Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. Unity and Diversity in One Body For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No gift can not be taught in a classroom setting. Be Blessed! OneLight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can learn about them, but you can never be taught to a point where you have it because you learned about it. As for paying to have the gift, Here is a link to his school. Read it for yourself.
