| | | Yes, its been a while but I know he is not a cessationist. I know he spoke grandly about how 200 yrs ago the gifts were barely used and now there used all over the world and in the past 10 yrs (from whenever he deliverd it) the gifts had multiplied 10 fold in people practising them. I am wracking my brain but can't remember anything else he says on the subject, except that he places a call on his church to seek the gifts. |

| | I don't think Piper is an advocate of the modern tongues movement. The last time I checked his site a few years ago he described his position as "open but cautious." I believe he is a friendly with Wayne Grudem but don't know that he agrees with him on prophecy, etc. But then again there is a post on the DG blog that includes a tribute by Sam Storms to the late Vineyard leader John Wimber.
