Joshua,

I hold to a cessationist belief. Jesus gave his apostles certain gifts that were to be sign gifts to authenticate their authority and apsostleship, including prophecy, tongues, healing, raising the dead, etc. Those gifts were discontinued when the canon of scripture was complete, because we now have a more sure word of prophecy, God's Holy Word.

The Greeks sought after wisdom, but the Jews required a sign to believe.
