Their very absence from the church as standard fare attests to the fact that they are not being given subsequent to the closure of the Canon. The only prophets around today (and for the last 150 years or so) can't do the great signs and wonders which attest a biblical prophet - neither can they minister without falling into dangerous theological heresy thereby proving that they are spurious and false. If God wanted them in our Churches today they would be here!! We would not be struggling to work out if claimants to the office today are genuine!!

Wed, 29 Dec 2010 23:15:08 +0000 http://unboundedwords.com/blog/?p=109#comment-777 This is a good overview on the various interpretations of 1 Corinthians 13:8-12. I have been personally studying these verses for a while now and have not come across another website that is as extensive as your overview of cessationists and continualists. Thank you for posting this! It's a great resource. -Boaz This is a good overview on the various interpretations of 1 Corinthians 13:8-12.

My church is total cessationist, but my husband and I do not feel we are. We fall somewhere in the middle. Ultimately, we do not consider this all that important and have no problem whatsoever worshiping there, but, not having researched it thoroughly enough, I got curious to see what the various views on cessationism are. I will say first that I haven't finished the article yet! But, I believe this to be an excellent blog. In presenting the different sides of the debate, I am very impressed that you didn't give a straw-man argument. Both sides were presented exactly as they are without criticism. You did not present your evaluation until after presenting the various positions. I have rarely seen anyone who could manage to successfully present various opposing views of an argument without using very biased language. I have bookmarked this page so that I can finish reading it and read more thoroughly. Thank you for posting this! I came across this blog by googling cessationism.

I had to plug a few holes in my research syllabus and you gave great information with complete bibliography (a rarity in blogs). It helped me polish the paper off today! Thank you again. -D Chris,
