thank you for addressing the OP, I think you are the first to do so..
As I see it, there are three main questions.
#1
Mat. 4:23
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
Mat. 9:35
And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
Paul apparently preached the Kingdom because he said.
1Cor. 2:4
And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
1Cor. 4:20
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
So what we hear from Paul is the Preaching of the Kingdom of God is with signs and wonders following, this is what gets the Non-Believer to become a Believer, it's the clincher.
Mat. 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Mar. 1:14
Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
Then the question must be definitively answered, are the Gifts for today, or have they ceased?
#2
YES the should, but with the qualification, not all four are necessary, they become redundant and therefore confusing to the Non-Believer, whereas, they do not understand the need of telling the same story four times.
#3
A Believer should already know the story of Jesus told in the four Gospels, therefore by us first understanding, the actual Gospel of Jesus was not what we now call and teach as the Gospel.
What should be taught to the Non-Believer, as their Introduction to who Jesus was, is One of the four Gospels, and Jesus teaching on His Gospel of the Kingdom of God.
