Cessation or Continuation?

Did spiritual gifts, dreams, visions, and miracles in the Church cease from existence after the
death of the Apostles?

This episode discusses the belief within the Pentecostal church that spiritual gifts, dreams, visions, and miracles did not cease after the Apostles, despite the claims of cessationists. The Pentecostal perspective is based on biblical precepts, attributing nine spiritual gifts to believers filled with the spirit of God. Scholars from various denominations have attempted to minimize or disprove supernatural occurrences associated with Pentecostal beliefs, labeling them as fanaticism or heresy.

The host delves into scriptures often cited by cessationists to support their view that spiritual gifts ceased with the end of the apostolic age. However, the video argues that these scriptures, when read in context, actually support the continuation of spiritual gifts until the return of Jesus Christ.

Additionally, the host refutes the idea that the foundational role of the apostles and prophets was unique to the early church, pointing out that the church is being built up and strengthened by the transference of power from the apostles to future believers.

In conclusion, the Pentecostal perspective is supported by scripture and logic, emphasizing that spiritual gifts are vital for the empowerment and edification of the church until Jesus returns.
