Moderation:

What is being discussed in the o.p. isn't cessationism necessarily. Many non-cessationists reject as unorthodox the classic pentecostal teaching of a baptism of the Holy Spirit subsequent to conversion and the idea that those who don't receive it as being at best second class Christians. Let's get back on topic. Those who want to discuss cessationism more generally are welcome to open a new thread.

"There never was a man in the world without a creed. What is a creed? A creed is what you believe. What is a confession? It is a declaration of what you believe. That declaration may be oral or it may be committed to writing, but the creed is there either expressed or implied."—B.H. Carroll
