I am on the fence between Cessationism and Continuationism.
While I lean more towards Cessationism, I do consider the possibility that Continuationism could be true. My biblical case for Cessationism can be found here:
Cessationism: Tongues, Prophecy, and the Gift of Miracles Have Ceased.
Can you rebuttal the points I made in this thread?
Can you also make a good case for Continuationism?
Ask yourself, during the span of the Old Covenant, the ministry of death, from Mt. Sinai to the Day of Pentecost (same anniversary) when the New Covenant started, what changed during the old covenant?
Matthew 5:18
For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away,
one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.
The same is true of the New Covenant, the ministry of the Spirit. Nothing of the Spirit will change until we see God face to face. 1 Corinthians 13:12. That includes the gifts of the Spirit.
Jesus, the I AM, started the Old Covenant, and only He could end it, and start the new one. And only His second coming will end the New Covenant. And the covenant will stay in tact from beginning to end with nothing ceasing.
Cessationism is wishful thinking of those without the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Just like everything spiritual, the gifts are given according to your faith. Those with unbelief or disdain, will never receive anything from the Lord to their shame. I remember one Cessationist preacher write in a book against tongues, that if the gifts of the Spirit were available today, then he would most certainly have been given them. Such humility.
Regarding the laws of each covenant. They are similar as they are both based on the eternal laws of God, (love God with all your heart, mind and body, and love your neighbor as yourself), but the signs of a covenant cease when the covenant ceases. The Sabbath was the sign of the Old Covenant, and it ceased as Jesus is its substance, our Rest. And the sign of the New Covenant is the Cup, representing the blood of the covenant. 1 Corinthians 11:25.
