The catholics burned thousands of solid believers and their writings.
Interesting enough,anyone with revelation (illumination) sees quickly that that same light of illumination is awesome,and from heaven,making the walk and actions,and Gods tangible glorious presence,the same component the apostles had. God authenticating Himself,and His Word.
But for those rejecting every gift and miracle,or a God of power,"church history" is their source and authentication.(ironically sourcing illumination off of "church history",denying true church history...the bible)
Ironically, both cases of church history also backs up the still present Power of the Holy Spirit.
The unilluminated cessationist is in a defeated position. A fool's paradise of mental salvation,walk,and God. A powerless gospel strangleing their flock and proselites.
IOW A "peaked out" (God is mental,and lost his power.therefore so have we) leader will have,as a result of his backslidden doctrine,a flock that is hamstrung by his imposed ceiling. (Ain't nobody gonna be like them apostles around here,and I'm gonna see to it)
Wow.
Bizarre.

Unilluminated cessationist…..? as compared to those who seek after a sign and wonders gospel, as a false source of light. and make Jesus into a circus seal. Perform a miracle and then we will believe as in why would we need faith when its right before our eyes.?.
John 6:30They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
There simply is no such thing as "sign gift" The kingdom of God to this day does not come by observation.
Spiritual unseen gift, yes. Sign metaphors follow them that have believed the gospel They are given a desire as a new tongue to bring the gospel into the world as a kingdom of priest. Those who add to the word as false prophets(not the true light the word of God the poison of their lies will not harm the believer . .Can't see a Spirit work . The bells and whistle gospel with all the trimmings
Signs and wonderment seekers I would suggest are false source of light. They simply have another mediator other than the word of God alone , another gospel . The last book Revelation is still when the seals were added. For some reason some men seem to have no problem breaking the 7 seals. breaking the seals opening the air way for what Catholics call private revelations, as lying wonders to cause a illusion of light, a guide from their mystics drawing som into that kind of light . Making the word of God without effect.
No man can serve two sources of light. he will love the one and hate the other or vise versa. Those who does sek after the things sen and call it a gift to confirm something I would suggest fall un der the description below. All of the bells and whistles from the previous verse(19) came to nothing.
Isaiah 8:20To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
In regard to fool's paradise. Did you mean the ones that hold to illuminated warning no to add to or subtract from all things written in the law and the prophets .at the end of the book of prophecy ???
Its those unilluminated that after all that that yet still refuse to believe prophecy.(hear God) same group . They are those who are identified as those who "fall back slain in the spirit" . They are revealed as a sign of unbelief (no faith)
A judgement against them that mock God. God mocking them.. The same kind in the law found in 1 Corinthians 14 :22_23 yet still refuse to believe prophecy
Isaiah 28:11-13 King James Version (KJV) For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
1 Corinthians 14:20-22 King James Version (KJV) Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
"Falling back" is synonymous with those who will not hear the word of God but rather will do whatsoever their own mouth as oral traditions of men performing another gospel of signs and wonderment or amazement
Dan is used to represent those with false prophecy as poison Just as Eli and Judas . Perhaps the Pentecostals can invent a sign that does not show they have no illumination coming from the word?.
Genesis 49:17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
Falling forward is a sign of worship. It would seem when looking at the references that throughout the Bible forward represents the drawing power of God and backward in need of repentance. Jesus sets the example.
Mark 14:35 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.
1 Samuel 4:18 And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
John 18:5-7 King James Version (KJV) They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
I am he sure has some illunminatied power. Knocked those unbeleivers backward right off thier feet to show they are the ones the sign of tongues confirms as those who have no light. Knocked the socks right off of them
