I came from the background described in the post, hence the emotion. <br /><br />That being said, emotion has nothing to do with fact. I do not see any way to avoid my conclusion that doctrine is insignificant if one believes in the continuing manifestation of the extraordinary sign-gifts. I have seen this first-hand and know of many others who can testify to the accuracy of my contentions about the TBN crowd. Benny Hinn stands there with a straight face claiming that Adam could fly and actually flew in outer space to the moon. Crouch and the rest of them claim, despite 2,000 years of Church history to the contrary that God wants to make all His children millionaires. None of this nonsense can be found in Scripture. If Continuationists gave a rip about what Scripture actually teaches , they would run these TV preachers out of town on a rail. But, no; they are “God’s anointed ones, replete with apostolic power, hence: Doctrine doesn’t matter. Whereas, Paul says in Galatians 1 that God’s curse is on anyone who teaches another Gospel than the one he preached, even if it were an angel from heaven.<br /><br />As far as Scriptural arguments for my position, I have posted about a dozen other articles defending the Cessationist position exegetically.

I continue to seek his wisdom through the word as you do, and it is very interesting to see the way people interpret scripture, in which I love to read random blogs to understand others logic and to see if it challenges mine. After all, we truely do not know the answers, but have the ability to.... When we have an open mind, we have the opportunity to see alot more. LUKE 24:45.

(I confess I have no idea who these "prophets" would be, nor how they got on the roster.) <br /><br />Admittedly not all Continuists go this far, but even an unbiased observer can see that it is certainly logically consistent with their system.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02908788730958708701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331156725554508589.post-67706352460113034712011-06-23T17:21:51.868-05:002011-06-23T17:21:51.868-05:00MacArthur's book "Charismatic Chaos"...MacArthur's book "Charismatic Chaos" is good in this regard.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00135672178786615182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331156725554508589.post-32087790241547283782011-06-23T17:19:38.318-05:002011-06-23T17:19:38.318-05:00Yep, exactly right.

Whatever God speaks privately to me would hold equal authority, and in reality, more authority, that the written Word, since we would then be forced to mangle Scripture to align with our own private revelations. Sounds a lot like Pentecostalism.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00135672178786615182noreply@blogger.com
