They cant do only what their past life can do. If thats the case then whats the point of training if they can just do what their past did.

Thats why they have training. Some Avatars can learn new abilities and Lightning Bending isn't exactly new. Ozai had to of learned it from someone aswell as Iroh and he to the same. Their Ancestor/s are also Avatars.
