Cessationism

"The ability or inability to accept a miracle depends on whether or not one spells his God with a capital 'G'" [Homer Hailey]

Have Prophecy, Direct Revelation, Tongues, and Miracles Ceased?
Is God still speaking to His church through direct revelation? Is the office of prophet still operational in the body of Christ today? Are miracles still occurring in the church?

Questions Cessationists Should Ask: A Biblical Examination of Cessationism
 Are cessationists asking questions of the Bible that will only affirm their conclusion? Or are they being honest and letting the text speak for itself, not forcing it into a prescribed theological framework? Putting the doctrine of cessationism to a biblical examination.
 

Have the Charismatic Gifts Ceased?
If the cessationist argument is true then it seems to negate parts of the Bible; namely, parts where spiritual gifts for the church are listed and exemplified.

How Do You Determine Your Spiritual Gift?
A spiritual gifts inventory that some have found helpful. I hope you do too. (These are limited to the ministry gifts and do not include the foundational gifts of apostleship or prophet, nor the sign gifts of tongues, interpretation of tongues, healings or miracles.)

The Christian and Tongues [Section]
Is there any solid evidence in the Bible for the gift of tongues utilizing unintelligible speech?

Baptism of The Holy Spirit [Section]
The baptism with the Holy Spirit was never about gifts, signs, and wonders. Never about an experience which HAPPENS TO US. The baptism with the Holy Spirit was always about Jesus Christ in us through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Believers are enjoined to be filled with the Spirit, walk by the Spirit, pray in the Spirit; but never once to be baptized in the Spirit.
