They had the Old Testament. The risen Jesus took the Apostles for a guided tour through Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms to show Himself in them. That was the basis of their teaching to the early church.

Cessationism comes from an AntiChrist spirit. Your accusative comments show the fruit of it, because Satan is the accuser of the brethren. You are laying charge against believers whom God has justified and for whom Christ has died. You have no Scriptural right to charge anyone with apostacy...

In support of your excellent post: Everything hinges on the definition of a false prophet or teacher. Jeremiah gives a good definition of those who dream up prophecy when God has not sent them. If we look at the historical context, the false prophets of Israel were saying that God will bring...

Just to encourage you. :) You don't have to defend yourself or return fire to someone who is firing blanks!

Now I'm confused. In this post you are implying that you are supporting the use of Spiritual gifts in today's churches, whereas before you implied that they had ceased. Maybe your large fonts hit me too hard and gave me concussion! :)

You large font comments show that your arguments are baseless and have no Scriptural support. You know that very well. The strength of an argument is when it is firmly based in direct Scripture that supports it. It already has been proved that 1 Corinthians 13:8-9 is not a support for the...

When Paul wrote 1 Corinthians 13, he had no conception of a perfect canon of Scripture. He taught from Moses and the Prophets, so most of your description of perfect Scripture is of Moses, the Prophets and Psalms. The New Testament didn't exist yet. The only perfection that Paul knew and was...

You say that your opposition to tongues and prophecy for today is based on your study of Scripture? Where? Show me. Are you saying that Jesus has changed from the 1st Century and that He no longer has the compassion to miraculously heal terminally ill people and others with incurable medical...

The Scripture does not say that the three will end before the completion of the church age. The notion that the 'perfect" relates to the canon of Scripture was dreamed up by an idiot who dreamed that he was a Bible commentator but woke up to find himself in Cloud Cuckoo Land. It is a lunatic...

You can't produce even one Scripture that supports the false notion that the supernatural gifts of the Spirit were meant to cease. I could ask you to show me one reference where the word "temporary" is used in relation to the gifts of the Spirit, but I know that you won't be able to, and all...

Oh? I have a friend who grew up in Kenya during the 1950s and attended Pentecostal churches with his parents. His description did not including anything like WOF or prosperity gospel. He said that those churches were much more godly and faithful to Christ than many western Pentecostal...

I didn't know that worship of the Lord was meant to be a spectator sport, subject to being videoed like a football match.

On the surface, what you are saying is correct. I had to laugh when I saw your very large font when showing a point. Made me remember a preachers notes left behind in the pulpit. It had notes in the margin showing where to lift an arm, point to the sky, thump the pulpit, and a paragraph...

Most people spend most of their time getting on with the routine aspects of their lives without any emotional highs or lows. Charismatics are no different. What makes a Charismatic is that they believe in the continuation of the gifts of the Spirit and seek to have them manifest in their...

See if you can find any New Testament Scriptures that require fellowship meetings be held in purpose built premises, programmed services, three hymns and a formal sermon, conducted by a one-man-band from the front, with an audience sitting passively in pews. Also find Scriptures that support...

I think that even if he did provide a video, it would just show a group of church folk doing their programmed thing. Wouldn't prove anything at all. What I have come to in my thinking is that those who know who Jesus really is wouldn't worry about Cessationism or Continuance, because when we...

My question to you is this: Do you know who Jesus really is?

I looked the verses up in my Calvin's commentary on 1 Corinthians and he says exactly that. He says that the gifts are present to compensate for our weaknesses, but they will cease when we die because we will be leaving our weaknesses behind, and the final cessation will be at the Day of...

Yes. There is a difference between playing the religious game and following Christ.

Here is my book that shows the difference between signs and wonders produced by the Holy Spirit in support of the Gospel of Christ, and the false signs and wonders you are talking about in your post.
