that is your opinion. The gifts of the Holy Spirit have not ceased. we are not called to distinguish between truth and false. The Holy Spirit leads us and guides us into ALL "truth" John 14, 16. We are to know the Truth. when one says I know it could be seen as " I know solely" and everyone else is in error. That is not very humble ( I'm being kind too). Biblical context with authorial intent. with the Spirit of God and studying. we are in the truth and the truth has made us free....

that passage is very clear that there are people who actually did all those things:
Matthew 7
22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness.’
He doesn't say they didn't do those things, He said they did.

He doesn't say they didn't do those things, He said they did.

Matthew 24:24
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Matthew 24:24
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
1 Corinthians 13
8Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
13So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
that's Providence, nothing to do with the supernatural gifts of the NT
