The cure for hyper-charismatic abuse is not cessationism but the biblical regulative norms already given in 1 Cor 12-14 for how gifts function in the church.

Does This Verse Teach Cessationism? And a Bit On Bethel. 1 Cor 13_10-12 00:39:34 – 00:40:35

Winger resists the reactionary move of becoming cessationist in response to charismatic excess.

Rather than adopting cessationism as a protective reaction to Bethel-style abuses, Winger argues that Scripture itself provides the necessary guardrails: 1 Cor 12-14 already gives detailed instructions on how gifts of the Spirit are to operate in congregational settings (order, testing, interpretation of tongues, accountability for prophecy). The Bible's own framework is the corrective, not cessationism.
