Cessation of miraculous gifts
For those interested in a rather long arduous study of whether or not the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit have ceased, Pulpit Magazine has an ongoing study by Nate Busenitz (click here). The series of articles are under the title "The When Question." Nate is contrasting the views of "continuationists" and "cessationists." Continuationists believe that there are still prophets today who receive some direct revelation from the Holy Spirit. Cessationists believe that revelation by the Holy Spirit (as well as other miraculous gifts) ceased some time after the apostolic age. I find the study quite illuminating because many of the arguments our brethren have used are used by some in the evangelical community. Anyway, just thought I would share this with anyone who cares to do some more reading on the subject.
