What we think ought or ought not to happen doesn't change anything. As I said in my previous post, Scripture tells us that the gifts were signs and wonders to Israel. They were announcing the coming judgment. When the Jews say the Gentiles speaking in tongues and healing and the like they should have realized that judgment was coming because the Scriptures told them that these signs would come and that judgment would follow.
Yes, Paul said the gifts would cease in 1 Cor 13. He said when the perfect comes the gifts would cease. However, the perfect is not Jesus. The Greek word that is translated perfect means mature or complete, it doesn't mean flawless as the English word perfect suggests. Paul said, 'we know in part and we prophesy in part'. When the completion or maturity comes then they are no longer in part but complete.
Paul also said that prophesy, knowledge, and tongues would cease, but, three things would continue. The three that continue are, faith, hope, and love. Paul told the Roman Christians that hope that is seen is not hope. When Jesus returns He will be seen thus there is no longer a need to hope. Paul also said,
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Heb 11:1 KJV)
When Jesus returns He will be seen, thus faith is realized. So,these two aren't necessary when Jesus returns yet Paul said they would continue after the completion came. Thus Jesus is not the perfect that Paul is referring to.
Yes, the Bible does say the Gifts were given through the apostles.
14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) 17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. 18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, 19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. (Act 8:1 KJV)
If you look through the New Testament you'll find that every time someone received the gifts it there was an apostle there.
The gifts were given for a purpose and that purpose was a sign to Israel.
11 For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:
12 "Do not say,`A conspiracy,' Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, Nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.
13 The LORD of hosts, Him you shall hallow; Let Him be your fear, And let Him be your dread.
14 He will be as a sanctuary, But a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense To both the houses of Israel, As a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 And many among them shall stumble; They shall fall and be broken, Be snared and taken."
16 Bind up the testimony, Seal the law among my disciples.
17 And I will wait on the LORD, Who hides His face from the house of Jacob; And I will hope in Him.
18 Here am I and the children whom the LORD has given me! We are for signs and wonders in Israel From the LORD of hosts, Who dwells in Mount Zion.
19 And when they say to you, "Seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter," should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living?
20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
21 They will pass through it hard pressed and hungry; and it shall happen, when they are hungry, that they will be enraged and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
22 Then they will look to the earth, and see trouble and darkness, gloom of anguish; and they will be driven into darkness. (Isa 8:11-22 NKJ)
