What you say is not true.This is my view.
In the twentieth century, church goers went to leadership and demanded to know why we weren't operating in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Leadership considered the matter and decided on a course of action. Rather than falling on their faces before God in repentance and crying out for a fresh Holy Spirit visitation on the church, they decided to formulate an apologetic argument to explain why we weren't operating in the gifts today. The result was Cessationism.
Paul says, "for we know in part, and we prophesy in part, but when what is perfect [Or "when completion"] comes, the partial will be set aside." 1 Corinthians 13:9-10 (NET)
"And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:13 (NET)
Paul contrasts tongues, interpretation of tongues, and knowledge with love, faith and hope. If as some say, prophecy, tongues and interpretation remain until the end of the world, Paul's comparison is meaningless.
