Cessationist

Why?
1) Signs and wonders were "signs of the apostles" (2 Cor. 12:11-12)
2) These signs were meant to "confirm" the gospel the apostle's preached and authenticate their witness (Mark 16:14-20, Hebrews 1:1-2, 2:1-4)
3) There are no more apostles because there are none who could fit the requirments (Acts 1:21-22, 1 Cor. 15:1-9)

Therefore, these gifts are no longer needed. They have served their purpose. We have and preach the confirmed message which was once for all given to the saints. [/quote:eb8b48f97f]
