I am currently debating this issue on a couple of blogs. Would you mind if I quote you? (with attribution of course).<br /><br />I have also written some posts on my view here:<br /><br /><a href="http://safle.org/wordpress/category/religion/christianity/tongues/">http://safle.org/wordpress/category/religion/christianity/tongues/</a>. <br /><br />I think cessationism fails on scriptural grounds, but I am not convinced that what we are seeing in the modern Charismatic movement is the true gifts. <br /><br />Any chance of a cross link in your blogroll? <br /><br />Thanks,<br /> Stephen.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05914973576979208411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18950992.post-1158065006280490602006-09-12T08:43:00.000-04:002006-09-12T08:43:00.000-04:00Keith,I think you make a very good point of incohe...Keith,<BR/><BR/>I think you make a very good point of incoherence in the cessationist position. Have you read Reformed theologian Vern S. Poythress's paper on Miraculous Gifts? You can find it here: http://www.frame-poythress.org/poythress_articles/1996Modern.htm<BR/><BR/>In it, he attempts to walk a middle path between gifts ceasing and continuing. He ends, in my view, pretty much giving the store away to non-cessationists which I find incredible. <BR/><BR/>Have a great day. With that, I am...<BR/><BR/>Peter<BR/><BR/>p.s.

I've had thoughts similar to yours, especially with respect to teaching, the <I>sine qua non</I> of reformed thinking. We reformed folk tend to place extreme value on teaching, but teaching is almost by definition extra-canonical, though it relies on the canon for its fodder. (Sorry, couldn't resist.) Why should subjective intellectual understanding carry so much weight, over and aqainst experience? Weren't experientially observed phenomena such as love, joy, peace and patience the validation of godliness for the canon's authors?Pastor Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04506888721434975233noreply@blogger.com
