Wow. I do not understand most of the folks on this thread. There simply are NOT any Jesus-style miracles occurring today. It's...just...not...happening. I understand people want a sign from heaven. We ALL want a sign. We'd all love to be held safely in the arms of Jesus. But that comes later.
This is the same type of reasoning an atheist uses. He doesn't know there is a God, hasn't seen evidence that fits the standard he makes up in his own mind or convinces himself he hasn't, and then decrees that there is no God. To really know that, He'd have to be omniscient.
You are not omniscient. How can you say such signs are not occurring?
I have seen some things with my own eyes that don't fit into the worldview of a lot of cessationists. I went to a large church of about 3,000 when I was in middle school. It had a Christian school, and there was a girl one year ahead of me who had some obvious visual problems. She had extremely crossed eyes and wore 'coke bottle glasses' that magnified her eyes and did not look like normal eye glasses.
An evangelist came to our church and at the end of his message, prayed for the sick. He told about cancers falling off under his hands at another meeting. He was young, and seemed pretty excited about that. People went up for an altar call. I saw him walk a woman out of a wheelchair. I'd never seen her before, so I didn't get that excited about it.
The next day, I went to school. The kids were saying the girl with the thick eye glasses and crossed eyes had been healed. (They said her name, which I did not know.) So I went over and talk to her while we waited for the doors to open for school. She said the evangelist had laid hands on her. She had been healed. She wasn't wearing her glasses and here eyes looked as straight and normal as mine.
That is the first instance I saw of physical healing that I could witness with my own eyes.
I've also witnessed a number of other gifts. Most of the 'amazing' stuff would be in the prophecy and word of knowledge category, where an individual knows things he could not naturally know. I've also prayed things for people I did not know about with my natural mind and I've gotten words of knowledge for people, so I know a little about it from that end of it as well.
Right now, the emphasis is "faith is the substance of things unseen". We're supposed to live "by faith and not by sight". But there are many who want to cut that corner. They want to see heaven before heaven gets here (with the return of the King).
I notice a lot of people totally take that verse out of context. That verse is not in conflict with the idea of doing miracles, prophesying, healing, etc. How do we know that? Look at the men who wrote that verse and the type of things they taught. Paul was a miracle worker who performed miracles and therefore, of course, saw them. So walking by faith and not by sight is not contrary to doing or seeing a miracle.
Yes, I've heard all the stories about "some guy in Africa...and this was about 12 years ago...and I heard this from a friend of a friend who heard a missionary speaker tell about a resurrection". Is this like...a fifth-hand story?
The sign gifts are meant for your eyeballs only. Not to be received fifth-hand, 16 years after the fact and from a distance of 10,000 miles. If you want the sign gift to have the intended effect, it needs to happen directly in front of the eyewitness. Not two years, fourth-hand, at a distance of a thousand miles.
Jerusalem and Galilee are probably pretty far away from most of us. And 1970 years ago is a lot longer than 12 years, yet we believe in miracles in Biblical times.
If you want to look for some discussion of historical accounts of miracles and healings in post Biblical times, I hear Craig Keener, an academic, has a book out called 'Miracles', which started as a footnote and grew to over 1000 pages of documented accounts of healing and miracles from throughout church history.
