Hey everyone.
When you post in this thread, can you please respectfully keep in mind this?
1. Jesus is Christ, our Lord and so, no matter if you differ from someone, please don't let it become inflammatory. Please avoid attacking anyone.
2. You may be a cessationist or a continuationist, this thread isn't to debate which is right. [If someone posts a link from gotquestions.org or some other site about all this, I am going to report them. Strictly personal views only]
So, I just want to know, if you are a cessationist, what do you think when you encounter someone who speaks in tongues or utters a prophecy?
I do know the arguments about tongues - being a language that can be understood by others, the canon of scripture being closed etc.
However in case you do believe all this, I am curious what would be the conclusion on seeing someone who displays such outward/sign gifts and believes Jesus is God and for the case of a hypothetical scenario, doesn't differ with you doctrinally on anything.
In case, you have never encountered something like this [people talking in "heavenly languages" and healings happening] then please refrain from posting in this thread too. I am willing to risk another unpopular thread
I understand it is a purely personal view, but I just want to understand some of your thought processes.
If you are a continuationist, you can chime in your views too.
Thanks a lot in advance and God bless you all.
