Historical question: sign gifts did not begin at Azusa Street; early church fathers (Justin Martyr, later Augustine) attest to prophecy and miracles continuing post-apostolically.

The claim that all cessationists in the first 500 years of church history is false. Justin Martyr (2nd century) describes prophecy still occurring. Augustine has early quotes that sound cessationist but later, after witnessing multiple miracles firsthand, changed his position. Winger warns that citing only early-life Augustine quotes while ignoring late-life reversal gives a distorted picture. He also notes that Bill Johnson of Bethel draws on revivalist literature and attempts to engineer miracle environments by replicating revivalist methods.
