Cessationism vs. continuationism — Mike holds continuationism but respects cessationists

Subscriber Hangout and Q&A - LIVE! 00:13:59 – 00:17:03

A viewer asks what Mike thinks about cessationists.

Mike explains cessationism (gifts ceased when the Bible was completed) vs. continuationism (gifts continue). He holds the continuationist position but considers cessationists brothers and sisters in Christ. He critiques mutual demonization — cessationists accusing continuationists of operating by Satan, continuationists accusing cessationists of committing blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Mike's charitable interpretation of cessationists: God is still giving them words of wisdom or prophecy, but they attribute these to 'good ideas' rather than spiritual gifts. He believes the effect is the same regardless of what it is called.
