Cessationism defined: miraculous gifts belonged to the apostolic era only, served a unique founding purpose, and ceased before the canon closed.

Does This Verse Teach Cessationism? And a Bit On Bethel. 1 Cor 13_10-12 00:01:33 – 00:02:33

Winger reads a definition from Theapedia. He contrasts it with continuationism, which holds the gifts are normative and available today.

Cessationism holds that gifts such as healing, tongues, and prophetic revelation pertained exclusively to establishing the early church and passed away before the canon of Scripture was closed. Continuationism holds the opposite: gifts have not ceased and are normative for believers today. Winger notes these are the two poles, with real nuance in between.
