Nonsense. I have numerous threads and posts exposing the fallacies in these (oft-kindred) positions:We have now the completed scriptures, the OT prophets did not.
God speaks Loud and clear in the scriptures.
(1) Cessationism.
(2) Sola Scriptura.
In my proofs, I even have citations from cessationist scholars who concede my fundamental thesis (before trying to backpedal) - that Paul defined spiritual maturity as charismatic maturity, notably mature prophethood.
The definition of spiritual maturity does not change. I would link you to all this material but I don't think you'd bother to read it.
Even on this thread, however, I already provided one solid argument. Here it is again. Paul defined a church as follows:
"And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues" (12:28)
That is the ONLY definition of a church that I accept, because all other definitions of a church are man-made. You are contradicting yourself. You said:
But you don't accept the Scriptures! You've already rejected Paul's definition of a church!We have now the completed scriptures, the OT prophets did not.
God speaks Loud and clear in the scriptures.
