Dear Christopher, You seem to get "supprised" rather easily ! I brought Wallace's article up to show that all cessationists do not concur on what cessationism really is. Just like all Protestants (I hope I spelled it right for you) do not concur on major points of doctrine and Theology. Yes, of course this came from a non-cessationist site. As I am a "non-cessationist." (Oh' how we like to put labels on each other!) Wallace claims to be a cessationist and then describes how he uses the gifts that are supposed to have ceased. However, Wallace does have heart in his theses which Powell seems to lack. Powell is all intellectual rope a dope. I think you are wanting to get into an intelectual discourse and dance all around the Scriptures. I will not have any part of it. Your intelect is obviously superior to mine. So I concede to your intellectual prowess. But ..... The bottom line is this. 1. The Bible knows nothing of cessationism. 2. Neither "cessationists" nor non-cessations are in concensus on this most important issue. 3. The gifts or manifestations of the Holy Spirit are being effectively used by many Christians today in churches all over the world; Catholic, Protestant and so called "non- denominational. 4. The "gifts" are also being "misused" by many Christians today through emotionalisim and disorderly behavior. 5. There are many "false" practices being pawned off as "gifts" such as "Faith Healers" and "slain in the spirit" amongst others. 6. We are to "covet" the gifts that are most edifing to the Church. 7. The "gifts" will cease when our Lord returns. But Love will abide forever. This will be my final response to you on this matter. God Bless You Warmly, Bill Roth |
