In “A Humble Argument for the Cessation of NT Prophecy and Tongues (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8), we tried to demonstrate from the Scriptures that tongues and prophecy are forms of that pre-parousia special revelation which has been completed with the closing of the New Testament canon. The Christian church, therefore, should not expect the revelatory gifts of tongues and prophecy today. Before we conclude our study, however, I’d like to respond to five objections that are commonly raised against the cessationist position. I address the first four objections in the post linked below. The last objection, which entails two passages that seem to contradict the cessationist position and which is, therefore, the most challenging to answer, I’ll reserve for my next post.
