And by so doing, cessationists forbid them.
Honestly, I think you're contorting Scripture to justify your position. Peter's quotation was clearly an explanation that what they were witnessing was a fulfillment of the prophecy, for Peter said, "This is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel". Had he been speaking of a yet-future event, he would not have used a near indicative that is an obviously reference to the disciples' speaking in tongues in the hearing of the people.
I disagree with the foretaste view. Jesus said repeatedly that the Kingdom was then present. We as believers have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light. We just don't experience the fullness of it in this life.
I disagree. I believe that the rest of Joel's prophecy referred to the end of the age, 70 AD. With regard to 1 Cor. 13:8, as others have mentioned on this thread, we do not yet know as we are known, and we do not yet see clearly rather than in a poor mirror.
I would caution you against using such phrases as "by any logical thought process"; that's a fallacy called poisoning the well, which makes discussion impossible because you have ruled out any consideration of alternatives. I can respect someone who disagrees, but not someone who dismisses.
The edification of the assembly is greater, but that does not make the edification of the individual meaningless. There is no possible way you can rightly interpret Paul's message to mean "Just don't speak in tongues".

And right there is the reason why your posts and comments are so far from the norm of Biblical understanding.
You are a "Preterist".
I am not calling you anything but many others have correctly said that Preterism makes a liar out of the Author of the Bible; therefore, preterist is a false doctrine at best and has even been labeled a heretical doctrine by many.
Preterist denies the resurrection of the body. Scripture teaches the resurrection of the body and that is the exact reason why so many people are at odds with what you post.
