I voted non-cessationist because the cessationist position, as I understand it, does not account for the instances of "predictions" & tongues that do still occur.

Either these instances are delusions in the minds of those to whom they are given, are complete fabrications, or are from the devil (I really hate that face; but you can't not use it), if they are not from the Lord. Which of these things would cessationists point to, in the instance of Alexander Paeden, or in the instance of "tongues" that I mentioned in Joshua's last thread on "Charismatic Calvinists"?

I would agree that revelation has ceased & that the church has been established. But the apostles were not the only ones to speak in tongues, or to make predictions: none of the apostles were even present at Corinth when the whole disorderly tongues thing was going on. Yes, it was the apostles' gospel that was being authenticated-- but it still is, isn't it?
