Welcome to the final video in a 10 part series by Pastor David Guzik on the reasons why cessationism is wrong. Cessationists claim that the more manifestly miraculous gifts of the Spirit ceased in or around the Apostolic Age. Some claim it ended ca. 70 AD before Paul's own death, others that it ceased when the Apostle John passed, others still when the biblical Canon took shape. On hand primary sources from Early Christian writers and the early Church Fathers, as well as the work of more modern church historians, Pastor David shows how this claim and attitude is false.
Throughout this series, on the authority of the Bible and history, Pastor David refutes the cessationist belief that the apparently miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit are no longer available to Christians today, providing textual evidence and posing counter-questions to those who claim so.
